Predicting Particle Size Distributions in Open & Closed Circuit Mills
Input/output PSD data were taken from a closed-circuit industrial ball mill at the Twin Buttes operations of the ANAMAX Mining Company. The difference in open-circuit PSD is somewhat more pronounced at the longer retention time. The overall residence time distribution in the closed-circuit mill is totally dominated by the hydrocyclone recycle.

Measurement system of the mill charge in grinding ball mill circuits
An industrial ball mill operating in closed-circuit with hydrocyclones was studied by five sampling surveys. The aim of the present study was to optimise operating parameters (i.e. charge volume, make-up ball size regime, slurry mean residence time, number of hydrocyclones in operation and hydrocyclone's feed solids content (Sf)) with respect to …

Closed Circuit Grinding VS Open Circuit Grinding
Closed Circuit Grinding VS Open Circuit Grinding. The simplest grinding circuit consists of a ball or rod mill in closed circuit with a classifier; the flow sheet is shown in Fig. 25 and the actual layout in Fig. 9. This single-stage circuit is chiefly employed for coarse grinding when a product finer than 65 mesh is not required, but it can be ...

The ball mill water addition set-point is set to 0% due to its negative impact on the ball mill solids residence time, and thus the circuit product particle size. At a given constant feed rate, this control system always minimizes the product size since: 1. the HPGR grinds as finely as possible by keeping pressure constant at the highest set ...
