A review of computer simulation of tumbling mills by the discrete

In tumbling mills, the charge motion and the power draw are largely a consequence of type and configuration of shell lifters for a given mill speed and filling. In recent years, with increasing mill size whose power draw has reached over 20 MW, the use of large face angle shell lifter especially in combination with wider lifter spacing has been ...

Development of a novel methodology to determine mill power draw

The net power draw of a tumbling mill refers to the energy expended per unit time in causing motion of the contents, or charge (Austin et al., 1987). This quantity is determined as a product of the torque exerted by the charge on the external shell and the specified mill rotational speed (Arbiter and Harris, 1982). ...

Effect of lifters and mill speed on particle behaviour, torque, and

DEM was first used by Mishra and Rajamani, 1992, Mishra and Rajamani, 1994a, Mishra and Rajamani, 1994b to study the motion of ball charge and the power draw of tumbling mills in two dimensions; in the study, the effect of liners was also considered.

Tumbling mills have been widely implemented in many industrial sectors for the grinding of bulk materials. They have been used for decades in the production of fines and in the final stages of ore comminution, where optimal levels for the enrichment particles' sizes are obtained. Even though these ubiquitous machines of relatively simple …

Ball Mill Capacity and Power Consumption Relationship to Mill …

The acceleration factor of the ball or rod mass is a function of the peripheral speed of the mill. Thus. n = c9np/√D, the above equation becomes P = f1 (D²)·f5 (πD c9 np/√D) = cs np D2.5. As a first approximation, the capacity, T, of a mill may be considered as a function of the force acting inside the mill.

Effects of grinding media shapes on load behaviour and mill power …

Grinding media directly affect the load behaviour and consequently the operations of industrial mills in terms of product size, energy consumption and grinding costs. Size and shape distribution of the originally spherical balls changes continuously as a result of impact breakage and due to different wear mechanisms taking place inside the …

Power draw estimations in experimental tumbling mills using PEPT

1. Introduction. The power draw of a tumbling mill is known to be an important measure in determining its efficiency. Many models have been derived to predict the power draw as a function of characteristics related to charge motion (Harris and Schnock, 1985, Morell, 1992).While these models have been shown to calculate good …
