Attrition Mills
Attrition mills effectively mill metals in inert atmospheres, such as in solid-state or mechanical alloying processes, but are not cost effective. Product output is relatively low with attrition mills, compared to large tumbler and vibratory ball mills. Consequently, tumbler ball mills usually are used for production runs of over 135 to 180 kg ...

Comminution Circuits for Gold Ore Processing
Ball mills are displaced, based on a lack of need, in single-stage AG/SAG plants. Ball-mill technology is well understood, as is classification, which is typically performed in hydrocyclones. However, in practice, secondary milling circuits are often operated at less than peak efficiency.

There are two "inputs" to a ball mill circuit: the ore fed to the circuit and the power delivered by the grinding mill. A ball mill circuit has two "efficiencies": that of the ball mill grinding environment* and that of the classification system*. A ball mill circuit has two efficiencies because it has two main functions:

Determining Specific Grinding Rate of Coarse
The total power to the ball mill (P) is 1100 kW (Figure 1). What we want is the power applied to the + 105 µm material in the ball mill; that is, the fraction of total mill power that is usefully used to size reduce coarse material (+ 105 µm) to material finer than 105 µm. The fraction of coarse (+

The ball mills are operated at a ball charge volume of 30–32% and 78.5% critical speed. The SAG mill trommel undersize is combined with the ball mills' discharge and pumped to two parallel packs (clusters) of twelve 660 mm diameter cyclones. The cyclone underflow from each line reports to a ball mill, while the cyclone overflow is directed ...

Abstract. Computer simulation of ball mill cicuits has been found to be very valuable for optimisation where existing plant data can be used to calibrate the mathematical models used. However, as by definition no existing plant is available for calibration in greenfield scenarios, the use of simulation in ball mill circuit design has been limited.

What is an Attrition Mill and How Does it Work?
What is an Attrition Mill? Attrition mills mechanically reduce solid particles through the intense acceleration of particles against one another in a curved or flat grooved surface called a stator. These mills use a high-speed rotor to create centrifugal forces that facilitate the necessary particle interactions.

Calculating Power Draw when sizing Ball Mills
I believe that as circulating load in a ball mill increases beyond a critical point the mill power draw begins to fall so there is an adverse effect on grinding efficiency (apart from the obvious physical problems it causes like high scats rates, balls discharged from mill, sumps overflowing, cyclones clogging up etc.).
