Also the open circuit distribution more closely follows the gradient of the cyclone overflow.

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
A simple method for estimating the relative coarse solids inventory in the ball mill has been selected. It is the average of the coarse fraction in the ball mill feed and discharge size distributions. In closed circuit grinding, the shift in these size distributions is normally quite small.

Advantages of changing open-circuit grinding mills to closed-circuit mills include efficiency, production of well-defined particle size distributions and cost savings.

An industrial ball mill operating in closed-circuit with hydrocyclones was studied by five sampling surveys.

Fig. 1 shows the process flow of a closed-circuit, two-compartment cement ball mill. The closed-circuit operation helped to reduce overmilling of particles [10], resulting in lower specific power consumption [11] in comparison with open-circuit operation, where the ball mill is operated without the external air classifier.

Of course, even if we set a more appropriate cement fineness, it is difficult to change the current situation that the flow velocity in the open-circuit ball mill is only 1/2-1/3 of that in the closed-circuit ball mill with the same specification, which will lead to poor comprehensive performance of finished cement, low system output and ...

This perspective comes from the practice that overall comminution is achieved by stages of crushing, followed by open-circuit rod milling and closed-circuit ball milling. Crushing is most often thought of as a semicontinuous, dry process with breakage by compressive failure, while grinding has been more typically in a continuously operating ...

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.

If a ball mill circuit were to be fed 2 distributions, each with same P80 but with the open and closed circuit gradients in Figure 1, the closed circuit distribution would require more energy to grind to the final P80.
