GRINDING MEDIA OSCILLATION: EFFECT ON TORSIONAL …
The speed has to generate enough "centrifugal force" to make the grinding media lift up on the shell lining to a height of about two-thirds of the diameter of the shell with least sliding. The optimum speed of the mill is about 0.6 to 0.75 times the "critical speed". The critical speed of the mill is defined as the minimum speed at
