Abstract Minerals processing engineers and grinding experts agree that classification efficiency and circulating load both have a major effect on the efficiency of closed circuit ball mills. However, the effect of each is difficult to quantify in practice as these two parameters are usually interrelated.

Specifically, circuit elements like counters and memories can introduce a lot of state bits and sequential state depth that can bring a formal analysis to a grinding halt. The solution is to "abstract away" such parts of the DUT by either swapping in simplified models of these elements, or by safely removing them completely (electronically ...

Abstract. The characteristic differences between open- and closed-circuit grinding systems were examined via the use of a continuous vibration ball mill and a blade type classifier. For the same median diameter of the product, the rate of powder production in the closed-circuit is about 5% higher than that of the open-circuit.
