how to calculate charge volume in ball or rod mill mining

https://www.911metallurgist.com/blog/ball...

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

Rod Mill Operations Designed to accept feed from a secondary crusher. Feed particle size = 6 – 25 mm. Peripheral speed = 85- 146 m/min (280 – 480ft/m in) Reduction ratio = 2 – 20 depending on material. Typically R = 8. Rod Mill Charge: Typically 45% of

in these computations mill volume and total mill internal load, Equation 2, during the test have been calculated as 297.96 m3 and 19.55%, respectively. Mill internal load volume (m3) = (19.55*297.96)/100 = 58.52 m3 (2) Ball volume in total mill load could

Mill (grinding)

A mill is a device that breaks solid materials into smaller pieces by grinding, crushing, or cutting. Such comminution is an important unit operation in many processes. There are many different types of mills and many types of materials processed in them. Historically mills were powered by hand (e.g., via a hand crank), working animal (e.g ...

Rod Mill

Rod mills have an industrial yield that is less than that of a ball mill, which explains the fact that balls have a much larger grinding surface than rods. The power needed to operate a rod mill could exceed 30% of the power used in a ball mill.

Figure 8.6. The total volume inside the mill is given by Vm 4 D2 mL 1 2(Lc L) L 1 (Dt/Dm) 3 1 Dt/Dm (8.16) The density of the charge must account for all of the material in the mill including the media which may be steel balls in a ball mill, or large lumps of

Rod mills, how they function

Rod mills normally carry 35 to 65% rod charge by volume. The limits on charge level are (1) keeping the feed end trunnion open so that feed will get into the mill, and (2) keeping the rod charge low so rods will not work their way into discharge openings where they can cause rod tangling.

Bond Rod Mill Grindability Test The test determines the Bond Rod Mill Work Index which is used with Bond’s Third Theory of Comminution to calculate net power requirements when sizing ball mills*. Various correction factors may have to be applied. The test is

AMIT 135: Lesson 7 Ball Mills & Circuits – Mining Mill …

For overflow ball mills, the charge should not exceed 45% of the mill volume . For grate discharge mills, the charge should occupy about 50% of the mill volume . Bond developed a relationship that can be used to determine the percent charge by volume as a function of the vertical height above the charge, He, and the radius of the mill, R, i.e.,
