This ball mill is typically designed to grind mineral ores and other materials with different hardness, and it is widely used in different fields, such as ore dressing, building material field, chemical industry, etc. Due to the difference of its slurry discharging method, it is divided to two types: grid type ball mill and overflow type ball mill.
in a SAG and Ball mill circuit where there is no scope for storage capacity between milling stages and throughput is normally limited by a bottleneck at one stage or the other. In this case any ore with a high BWi value will have reduced . throughput due to the ball mill despite the capability of the SAG mill to handle

The HPGR-ball mill circuit comprises a reverse-closed secondary crushing circuit prior to a closed HPGR circuit, followed by a reversed-closed ball-mill circuit with cyclones (See Figure 2). The vibrating screen decks were set to an aperture size of 32 and 4 mm for the secondary crushing stage and HPGR screen circuit, respectively.
The ball mill is a Ø 6.10 m inside shell diameter x 8.53 m EGL (20.1 ft x 28 ft) ball mill equipped with a 5,700 kWmotor. The ball mill operates in overflow configuration, discharging slurry over a trommel screen protecting the pumps from steel media. Trommel undersize discharges into the common cyclone feed hopper. Grinding balls are charged ...
DRA Global were subsequently engaged to provide detailed design of Phases 2 and 3 of the project expansion which included design of a new milling building (7.6MW primary and 6.0MW secondary ball mills) and a new flotation circuit comprising 5 x 100m3 flotation cells and associated ancillaries.
Further grinding was then undertaken in two rod mills, two primary ball mills and two secondary ball mills, producing a product with 80% passing (P80) 115 micron for flotation. Concentrates, at 25.5% Cu, produced in the flotation circuits are pumped as slurry to the smelter.
EF5BM=[ P80+10.3 1.145×P80] ( 3 ) The EF4 formula requires both the rod mill and ball mill work index (rod mill Wi is used to calculate the optimal feed size) and because this is a "single-stage ball mill" calculation, the F80 is actually the rod mill feed size (10,000 µm) from Table 1 and the P80 is the ball mill circuit product. The EF5 factor only applies below 75 µm to ball
The P80 is the product of the secondary ball mill circuit and is measured at the hydrocyclone overflow. The key: in a closed circuit ball mill circuit, you put a "black box" over the whole secondary circuit. Ignore the hydrocyclone underflow and the secondary mill product, those are internal to the black box.
