DEM validation of media shape effects on the load behaviour and power in a dry pilot mill

Abstract The effect of grinding media on milling kinetics has been generally studied using one media shape. However, very little work has been done on investigating mixtures of media shapes. Combining different grinding mechanisms in term of contacts, the volume of grinding zones can be efficiently increased when there is an optimal mixture of two or more grinding …

The impact behavior between the charge and lifter has significant effect to address the mill processing, and is affected by various factors including mill speed, mill filling, lifter height and media shape. To investigate the multi-body impact load behavior, a series of experiments and Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations were performed on a laboratory-scale mill, in …

Bibak and Banisi studied the effects of particle shape on load movement in tumbling mills by a combined physical and DEM modelling approach. Govender et al. [ 18 ] performed a number of ball mill simulations with four additional polyhedral particle systems to study the effect of particle shape.

In tumbling mills, liners raise grinding media and ore to transfer energy from mill to load. During the course of mill operation, the lifters wear and thus affect the mill performance through loss of lifting action, 1 and in addition extensive down-time is required to replace worn liners. Furthermore, random breakage and replacement of the liners can cause many …

Grinding is generally an inefficient process and there are many factors that can affect grinding performance. Among the ways of assessing mill performance are examining the load behaviour, mill power and the rate of production of fines (Niyoshaka, 2005). OBJECTIVES 1. To study the concept of size reduction using ball mill.

only focus on rotation rate, charge fill level, as well as size and shape of grinding media, thereby may causing errors [24]. Mill liners protect mill shells from abrasion and lift ore particles and grinding media to a high position. Therefore, liners/lifters must be able to bear high-impact loads during the grinding process.

Con grinding medium is an improved type of ball grinding media which offers more surface area per unit of weight, and has found extensive use in the grinding of cement clinker. The advantage of Con medium is its ability to increase mill capacity because of its interlocking shape and increased density per cubic foot of grinding charge.

Mill's performance, monitored based on vision, acoustic, inertial data and motor signals can be optimized by the input of grinding media, changing of the slurry density (by adding process water), adjusting of the speed (expressed as a % of the critical speed) or increasing/decreasing of the mill's load.

To assess the effects of the mill operating parameters such as mill speed, ball filling, slurry concentration and slurry filling on grinding process and size distribution of mill product, it was endeavored to build a pilot model with smaller size than the mill. For this aim, a pilot mill with 1 m × 0.5 m was implemented.

Research highlights Media flow and energy use in a tower mill depends on media shape from DEM simulations. Behaviour of blocky media is significantly different from that of spherical media. Blocky media - poor media and slurry transport; more dilation in grind zone; reduced active bed volume. Lower power draw for blocky media – high liner wear rate and reduced …

In this paper, the milling parameters of high energy ball mill (Fritsch Pulverisette 7) like vial geometry, number and size of balls and speed of the mill were modelled and discussed.
