The grinding efficiency of a ball mill can be determined using the calculating equation. This equation takes into account the size and shape of the balls as well as their impact speed on the grinding media. It also accounts for other factors such as the viscosity of the media and the number of revolutions per minute (RPM) of the ball mill.

Analysis of the efficiency of the grinding process in closed circuit ball mills Valery I. Telichenko1, Rashid R. Sharapov1*, Svetlana Y.Lozovaya2 and Vladimir I.Skel1 1Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, Moscow, Russia 2Belgorod State Technological University named after V.G. Shukhov, Belgorod, Russia Abstract. Ball mills for fine …

In addition, no measure of ball mill circuit performance is complete without including an ore grindability component. The functional performance equation (Equation 1) includes ore grindability in the mill grinding efficiency metric. Mill grinding efficiency is essentially the mill grinding rate (t/kWh) normalised by a grindability value (g/rev).

Crushed ore is fed to the ball mill through the inlet; a scoop (small screw conveyor) ensures the feed is constant. For both wet and dry ball mills, the ball mill is charged to approximately 33% with balls (range 30-45%). Pulp (crushed ore and water) fills another 15% of the drum's volume so that the total volume of the drum is 50% charged.
