The "Critical Speed" for a grinding mill is defined as the rotational speed where centrifugal forces equal gravitational forces at the mill shell's inside surface. This is the rotational speed where balls will not fall away from the mill's shell. Result #1: This mill would need to spin at RPM to be at 100% critical speed. Result #2: This mill's ...
Read More2015-6-19 · A Ball Mill Critical Speed (actually ball, rod, AG or SAG) is the speed at which the centrifugal forces equal gravitational forces at the mill shell’s inside surface and no balls will fall from its position onto the shell. The imagery below helps explain what goes on inside a mill as speed varies. Use our online formula. The mill speed is typically defined as the percent of the
Read More2022-1-5 · A well implemented SAG control philosophy should be able to vary the mill speed, in response to variations in feed characteristics. If the feed ore becomes softer, then the mill control system should respond to reduce the mill speed. You may not need to keep adding grinding media either, if the issue persists too long.
Read More2015-10-15 · The mill was rotated at 63% of the critical speed. The position of the balls at the end of five revolutions is shown in Figure 2. It is seen that, using a low coefficient of friction at the walls, balls tend to flow down the surface of the charge, and a “toe” begins to form. As the friction at the wall increases, cataracting motion is observed.
