Rod mills are used in an open circuit between crushing and the ball mill. They often operate in wet and where the pulp contains up to 50% solid by mass. This machine is equally very applicable to dry where it could take a feed that has achieved 6% moisture. As such, when the product is sticky, rod mills are preferred over ball mills.
The secondary milling circuit at Waterval UG2 Concentrator had undergone a circuit change with the commissioning of the IsaMill, a horizontally stirred mill, in parallel with the secondary ball mill. The operation treats the PGM bearing UG2 ore type and produces a final concentrate enriched with PGM's.

Secondary milling to between 67 and 72% passing 75 µm, with natural fines grits. Comminution Circuit Description The KP1 plant consists of two primary ball mills converted from rod mills, which are running in parallel, and a secondary ball mill. Figure 1 shows the primary milling circuit, and Figure 2 the secondary milling
Working Principle of Ball mill: As the mill rotates, steel balls work to grind the materials. The mill rotates approximately once every couple of seconds. The grinding system uses either 'open circuit' or 'closed circuit'. In an open circuit system, the feed rate of materials is adjusted to achieve the desired fineness of the product.
GrindingExpert™ SAG Mill The GrindingExpert solution will automatically adjust feed rate, mill speed and water addition to reduce upsets, eliminate grind-outs and increase tonnage in SAG / ball mills. Secondary grinding can be optimised as well with automation on cyclones and pumps. This grinding expert solution is an add on to LoadIQ. Benefits
considered, such as a primary SAG and secondary ball mill circuit where the individual stages would be ESAG and Eball, and the combined total circuit CEE would be Etotal. In all cases, the specific energy consumption is defined as the motor power consumed relative to …
The SAG mill discharge is pumped to secondary ball mills in closed circuit with a bank of six 20 in. diameter cyclones. There are two ball mills operating, one 12.5 ft diameter by 14 ft long and the other 12.5 ft diameter by 18 ft long.
The ore leaving the primary grinding device is normally processed in a secondary mill (ball-mill or pebble-mill), to produce a size distribution suitable for separation of the mineral by flotation,...
The conclusion was the addition of a secondary ball mill could maintain the current 1.24 Mt/y capacity when processing fresh ore and, when blended with 25% oxides, throughput rose to 1.4 Mt/y.
Secondary Mills The standard method for sizing secondary ball mills (usually the overflow type) in AG/SAG circuits follows published mill supplier information with aspect ratios in the range 1:1.5 to 1:2.0, depending upon product sizing and pulp …
the silicates ball mill and 12% of the total milling energy distributed to the chromite ball mill. 3. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE The milling circuit configuration is shown in Figure 1. Lights Mill Densifier Underflow Figure 1: Diagram of UG-2ore secondary milling circuit configuration (Maharaj et al., 2011) 3.1.
During this period, the grinding circuit processed secondary crushed feed through a SAG mill followed by pebble crusher and ball mill (SABC mode). Prior to September 2006, processed ore GSM from both the Wallaby Deeps underground mine as well as material hauled 1km from the open pit 3 operation.

The secondary grinding stage consists of a ball mill fed with material coming from . the SAG circuit. Finally, a tertiary grinding stage consisting of a ball mill in closed circuit is fed from the secondary grinding stage. The secondary and tertiary ball mills have individual classification stages where the cyclone overflow reports to
has expanded its line of wood reduction equipment to include a complete line of secondary grinding equipment designed specifically for making wood flour, sawdust, and animal bedding. Chipping away at wood waste. A second Dominion ball mill in closed circuit with two-stage cyclones provides secondary grinding. Both mills are rubber-lined.
This included the bench-marking and optimization of the SABC comminution circuit, focusing on the primary (SAG mill) and secondary (ball mill) grinding mills, and estimating the outcomes of changes to circuit operating parameters (e.g., feed rate, mill load, ball charge, etc.).
The feed is then conveyed directly to the grinding circuit. The crushed material is initially milled in a high aspect open circuit SAG mill, with slurry passing through discharge grates and a trommel. The trommel undersize slurry flows into a common hopper shared with the closed circuit secondary ball mill.
A working cone crusher (Fig. 13.13) can perform as a tertiary crusher when installed in a close circuit between secondary crusher and ball mill to crush any overflow material of vibratory screening. Figure 13.13 .

Maintaining the work balancebetween the primary SAG mill and secondary ball mill(s) is an overlooked bottleneck, and thus opportunity, in an increasing number of circuits worldwide. As circuit capacities are expanded by 'releasing' the SAG mill bottleneck, the work is progressively passed on to the downstream ball mills.
Morrell single-stage ball mill Model. This is a secondary and tertiary cone crusher, plus ball mill model that estimates the specific energy consumption using the equations of Morrell (GMSG, 2016).
