On an overall basis, VRM consumes about 20 % lower specific energy than conventional closed circuit ball mills and is being widely used for raw material and coal grinding in the cement industry. The adoption of an external raw material recirculation system has further improved the efficiency of VRM. These mills can also utilise large quantities ...
crushed ore is fed into a SAG/Ball mill circuit with a median size of approximately 12,000 microns. Most SAG Mills are operated in closed circuit with a screen. The screen fi lters undersized ore, normally minus ½ inch, to a ball mill discharge sump. The combined mill discharges are pumped to undergo classifi cation, normally via hydrocyclones.

The whole closed circuit is under a negative draft, and the ...
Hydrocyclone Working Principle. Hydrocyclone is a grading device that uses centrifugal force to accelerate ore particle deposition. It needs the pressure to feed ore, so it consumes a lot of power but occupies a small area, cheap, the processing capacity is large, The classification efficiency is high, obtain very fine overflow product, mostly ...
As a common grinding equipment in cement plants and thermal power plants, ball mills have simple operation in the grinding process and good continuous working performance. The ball mill grinding system is divided into opencircuit grinding and closedcircuit grinding in the process. Many manufacturers have questions about these two systems when ...
The reference point is a conventional ball mill circuit in closed circuit with cyclones operating at 250% circulating load and having 38% of fine material reporting to cyclone underflow, resulting in a classification efficiency of 50%. This efficiency was chosen as an industrial practice "average" from the data presented in Fig. 6.
A grinding mill needs a classifier to extract the particles that have been milled sufficiently ... and to send oversize particles back to the mill for further grinding. A cyclone does this, with the cyclone overflow being the mill final product, and the underflow reporting back to the mill feed. This arrangement is known as closed circuit ...
We have already discussed it during hydro cyclone operation or say during the topic of hydro cyclone and during the ball mill operation or grinding in general even closed circuits we said we discussed about closed circuit crushing, but here I will give more emphasis on closed circuit grinding.

Closed Circuit Grinding FLOWSHEET #4. The trend in many of the large tonnage milling circuits is to completely eliminate conventional rake or spiral classifiers by going to two stage grinding with a rod and ball mill in series. The rod mill discharge goes direct to the ball mill and then on to a pump and hydraulic cyclone classifier.
