In this case any ore with a high BWi value will have reduced . throughput due to the ball mill despite the capability of the SAG mill to handle
Working Principle of Ball mill: As the mill rotates, steel balls work to grind the materials. The mill rotates approximately once every couple of seconds. The grinding system uses either 'open circuit' or 'closed circuit'. In an open circuit system, the feed rate of materials is adjusted to achieve the desired fineness of the product.

Where the finished product does not have to be uniform, a ball mill may be operated in open circuit, but where the finished product must be uniform it is essential that the grinding mill be used in closed circuit with a screen, if a coarse product is desired, and with a classifier if a fine product is required.
In ball mills, steel balls or hard pebbles to break particle based on impact and attrition. A rotating mill charged with media and ore is lifted against the inside perimeter. Some of the media falls and impacts the ore particles at the bottom of the mill. The rest of the media cascades and, in the process, creates particle breakage by attrition.
In a ball mill circuit, the "output" can be defined as the production rate of fines of the circuit. As for any output, ball mill circuit output is a function of both its inputs and efficiencies. There are two "inputs" to a ball mill circuit: the ore fed to the circuit and the power delivered by …
