BALL MILL DRIVES, LOADED, WAVEFORM LEVELS, SEPTEMBER 1A 1B • Above is a plot of the waveform vibration levels at both the 1A & 1B ball mills when loaded (acceleration). • Note how waveform levels at 1A ball mill are higher than that at 1B ball mill for every measurement and especially at points PIH PIA (pillow block, coupling-end bearing)...Iron ore sample found is a part of banded iron ore formation. Hematite and goethite are major constituents of iron ore samples. Hematite in the ore sample occurs as specularite with inter granular micro-pore spaces. Goethite is profuse and occurs as colloform product in cavities in addition with the weaker bedding planes.
secondary mill power that permits the range of vari- ability samples to be processed according to whether a "SAG Mill limiting" condition, i.e., harder ore, or a "Ball Mill limiting" condition, i.e., softer ore exists. For example, a ratio of 1:1.5 or up to 1:2 would indicate a trend away from processing harder ore types and...Ball mills designed for long life and minimum maintenance overflow ball mill sizes range from 5 ft. x 8 ft. with 75 HP to 30' x 41' . and as much as 30,000 HP. Larger ball mills are available with dual pinion or ring motor drives. Our mills incorporate many of the qualities which have made the Marcy name famous since 1913.

and iron ores samples were ground using a ball mill in different grinding conditions (dry and wet) and at different critical speed (R 45%, R 70% and R 90%) during wet grinding. Results are compared considering the relative impact on particle size and shape. Materials were ground in a lab scale ball mill for...Abzalov et al., 2010: Optimisation of the grade control procedures at the Yandi iron -ore mine, Western Australia: geostatistical approach, Applied Earth Science Journal, v.119, No.3, p.132 -142 2 3 4.1% error: ORE blocks misclassified as WASTE 2.7% error: ORE blocks misclassified as WASTE 3 2.7% of SMU size ORE blocks are misclassified as WASTE

In the first two days, the mill experienced numerous power dips (overloads), and on at least seven occasions the feed to the mill had to be completely stopped to grind the mill out. Also, the mill load varied in the range of 125 to 165 tons. These disturbances propagated throughout the milling circuit and ...

Thus, grinding process is simplified to be a SISO plant with delay d, the input u is feed ore rate and the output y is the product size. The changes of ore properties is seen as the main disturbances to the product size.
