More crushing and less grinding to reduce the grinding particle size; If the grinding particle size is large, the mill needs to perform more work on the ore. In order to achieve the required grinding fineness, the workload of the ball mill is bound to increase, so energy consumption and power consumption will also increase.
SAG mill ball charge determination and its influence on ...
In semi-autogenous grinding (SAG), the grinding mill inventory, (i.e. volume of total charge, volume of ball charge, etc.) is important in determining the optimum operating condition for maximum production (tph), minimum specific energy (kwh/t) or lowest cost ($/t). A two-dimensional graphical method is presented for determining the actual ball charge within …

The starting point for ball mill media and solids charging generally starts as follows: 50% media charge. Assuming 26% void space between spherical balls (non-spherical, irregularly shaped and mixed-size media will increase or decrease the free space) 50% x 26% = 13% free space. Add to this another 10%-15% above the ball charge for total of 23% ...
