mill grinding rate over the material's grindability as measured in the lab. Mill percent solids optimization has thusly been achieved (McIvor et al., 2000). For media sizing, maximizing the mill grinding rate on a given ore is equivalent to maximizing the mill grinding efficiency. Ores of different grindability will be part of the discussion.

The mill is designed to handle a total ball charge of 324.5 t at loading with a percentage filling of 29.5% in both the chambers. Both the chambers of the cement mill were charged with 80% of the designed charge,
The mills are large consumers of power as well. In the case of ball mills, optimization of the mill charge helps to minimize the power consumption of the mills. In the case of vertical roller mills, inspection of the mill internals and adjustments in the operation will bring about an improvement in the energy consumption and for production ...
3.3.1 Cement Mill. The approach is to use a ball charge as fine as possible in the 2 nd compartment for all cement types as long as the criteria for size reduction is met in chamber 1. For mills producing several types of cement, we optimize for the main type. It is recommended to start first with the coarse grading.

In, under different ball charge filling ratios, ball sizes, and residence time, a continuous ball mill is studied for optimizing cement raw material grinding process. In [ 5 ], an adaptive control framework is presented for raw material blending process, and corresponding optimal control structure is discussed too.
We can calculate the steel charge volume of a ball or rod mill and express it as the % of the volume within the liners that is filled with grinding media. While the mill is stopped, the charge volume can be gotten by measuring the diameter inside the liners and the distance from the top of the charge to the top of the mill.
