Rod mill grinding efficiencies have been shown to increase in the range of 5 to 15% with more dilute discharge slurry (i.e., increased feed water) at least down to the range of 45 to 50% solids by volume. The higher the discharge % solids in the plant rod mill, the better the candidate for feed water addition rate test work.

SMD Functional Description The feed slurry enters through a feed spout in the top cover which directs the feed into the bottom of the vortex (bottom of the mill) without any inlet head. Grinding media is added either by the automatic Media Addition System through one of the unused feed ports or manually through the media feed chute.

This means that the cataracting stream will be very unimportant for the slurry transport. 5.3. Slurry flow in a SAG mill The behaviour of slurry flow in the porous media results from the interaction between two forces: • natural tendency of the fluid to settle under gravity; • drag from the moving porous media. Fig. 2.
Graphical abstract. The paper describes a 1-way slurry-media transport model for a Tower Mill. The grinding media is modelled with the CSIRO Discrete Element Method solver. Steady-state flow and porosity information are then passed to the CSIRO Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics solver to model the slurry flow through a dynamic …
The relationship between the available volume for slurry and the VertiMill® power is shown in Fig. 1.The relationship as shown in the figure was validated by survey data collected from a mine site (Palaniandy, 2014) where the entire mill grinding media was weighed after a crash stop.The survey data showed good agreement with the developed …

Usually the media replacement is carried out at the actual mill operating slurry density. However an interaction may exist between media size and the operating slurry density leading to a loss of grinding mill efficiency if slurry density is not adjusted following a change of ball size. Two situations are illustrated in Fig. 1.

For ball and rod mills F and ~ can be too low at the same time while for autogenous mills a low F will generally coincide with a fairly high ~ because sufficient fine material will be produced by the grinding of media. For all mills a low ~ and high F will result in rapid passage of the slurry through the mill and a coarse product. 3 M. H. Moys ...
