Cytec Handbook. Why have a large circulation load:. If a product all finer than a certain critical size is required, the capacity of the ball mill is increased considerably by using it in closed circuit with a classifier and this increase is made still greater by increasing the circulating load in between the ball mill and the classifier (Fig. 70).
ABC closed circuit, Autogenous-Ball-Mill-Crusher. Another similar technique is the ABC open circuit where the crusher product feeds the ball mill rather than the autogenous mill. Crusher product is typical feed to a ball mill using large diameter balls but not much grinding of 20-25 mm ore can be accomplished in an autogenous mill.
This closed circuit ball mill system was closely tested, and the calculated results of statistical . data, circulating load, and classific ation efficiency are summarized in Table 3. Although the same

Advantages of changing open-circuit grinding mills to closed-circuit mills include efficiency, production of well-defined particle size distributions and cost savings. It has been reported that for the same mean diameter of product, the power required for a closed-circuit system is about 5% smaller than that of the open-circuit system [1]. The ...
Operation and Elements of a Closed-Circuit Ball Mill System . Cement ball mills typically have two grinding chambers.

The speed of mills depends upon their diameter; a ball-mill of 3 feet revolves 35 times a minute, and one of 5 or 6 feet, 29 or 27 times. Tube-mills run at a revolution or two faster (see Fig. 117). Some ores require much finer grinding than others to liberate the minerals, and this increases the milling cost. Ball Mill Product Classifying
