Closed circuit ball mill with two compartments for coarse and fine grinding and a drying compartment with lifters are generally found in cement plants for raw material grinding. Compartments (filled with grinding media) are divided by a double diaphragm with flow control to utilize maximum mill length for effective grinding.
The estimated parameters were then used in the kinetics model to simulate the behavior of a grinding mill in open and closed circuit operation. While material transport and kinetics are equally important in open loop operation, heavy recycle in a closed circuit make a detailed material transport model for grinding unnecessary.

The ball mill was simulated as a single compartment mill by eliminating the mill length of 2.935 m which was used in drying stage, such that the full length (L = 9.87 m) of the mill was used in grinding. Thus, drying of the raw meal …
A typical structure of a closed-loop circuit for wet grinding consists of a ball mill, sump and classifier [10, 13, 33, 39] and it is schematically shown in Fig. 4.
Minerals processing engineers and grinding experts agree that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit ball mills. However, the effect of each is difficult to quantify in practice as these two parameters are usually interrelated. Experimental work was undertaken by Process

The ratio of reduction through a primary crusher can be up to about 8:1. Feed: ROM up to 1.5 m; Product: -300mm (for transport) to -200mm (for SAG mill) Feed Rate: 160 to 13,000 tph
A 1.5 mio t/a cement plant is having a closed circuit ball mill for cement grinding: The mill has been operating with satisfactory performance in-terms of system availability and output, however power consumption was on higher side. 3.1 System Description Mill Rated capacity 150 t/h OPC at 2800 blaine I chamber liners
At least 15 to 20 kg sample material is required to simulate a closed grinding circuit in a ball or rod mill. The Rod Mill Work Index (RWI) is used for particle size determination in a size range from 25 mm down to 2.1 mm whereas Ball Mill Work Index (BWI) is used for the range from 2.1 mm down to 100 µm. Adjustment of grinding parameters:
A conventional cement grinding circuit is composed of a two compartment tube mill, a mill filter which collects the fine material inside the mill and a dynamic air separator where final product ...
An industrial ball mill operating in closed-circuit with hydrocyclones was studied by five sampling surveys.

The batch ball mill is a kind of ball milling machine which discharges the material in one time according to the nature of the material. Different from continuous ball mill, batch type ball mill grinds powder by times and adopts intermittent operation. The batch mill is mainly used for the mixing and grinding of materials, with uniform product fineness and saving power.
