IntroductionGrinding mill circuits are the most energy and cost intensive unit processes in the mineral processing industry and therefore the study of the control systems for grinding circuits remains important (Ramasamy et al., 2005, Wills and Napier-Munn, 2006).Grinding circuit control objectives range from maintaining system stability to achieving …
Read MoreIn a simple grinding circuit there will be a ball mill and a classifier. Some circuits, especially in large mills, have more units or two or three stages of grinding, but whatever is said here will apply to the complicated circuits as well as the simple ones. The two types of ball mill in general use are the grate mill and the open-end mill.

For example why the pulp density is an important parameter for grinding, what the function is of the ball mill and cyclone, why it is important to control the particle size and where in the grinding circuit you need to measure the density.
Read MoreTherefore if the ore does not grind quickly enough in the SAG mills, the mill weight increases and the control system reduces feed to the mill to maintain the desired mill weight. While the two SAG mills at Mt Keith are identical in design, their operation is not due tosegregation of the coarse and fine material in the stockpile that provides feed to the grinding circuit.
