Pulp lifters, also known, as pan lifters are an integral part of the majority of autogenous (AG), semi-autogenous (SAG) and grate discharge ball mills. The performance of the pulp lifters in conjunction with grate design determines the ultimate flow capacity of these mills. Although the function of the pulp lifters is simply to transport the slurry passed through …

Bradken Bullnose®discharge cones Manufactured from superior composite wear materials to extend wear life of the liners and reduce the overall weight by 40% over steel products.Bullnose® discharge cone system reduces the relining times by 50% to maximise mill availability. Discharge grate slot analysis is carried out across all grate designs to …

It was also shown that the grate discharge ball mill will draw an average of 18% more power than the overflow ball mill of the same size under similar operating conditions. Using these results, a new ball mill model was developed. The model is based on the principle that breakage distribution of the ore is unique to its competence and …

Grate ball mills are suitable for coarse grinding and have higher production capacity, while overflow-type ball mills are suitable for fine grinding and have a simpler structure and lower price.

Grate discharge heads for ball mills are completely assembled in the shop, with grates, clamp bars, pan liners, and center discharge liners in place. Depending upon available handling facilities, the head or shell can be lined separately in a repair bay, or after assembly of the mill proper in the trunnion bearings.

Discharge grates play an important role in determining the performance of autogenous, semi-autogenous and grate discharge ball mills. The flow capacity (grinding capacity) of these mills is strongly influenced by the discharge grate design––open area and position of apertures, as well as the performance of the pulp lifters.

Ball mills working as the secondary portion of a grinding circuit will utilize the lower profile liners. The reason is as lift decreases, friction increases. ... This feature of rubber is particularly significant in the use of rubber for grate discharge mills. The natural flexibility of rubber reduces the potential of blinding the grates. This ...

Some ball mills are equipped with grate discharge systems. They require softer alloys, as it is difficult to ensure that the charge level remains high, and the liners can be exposed to impact, causing cracking. Rubber or composite liners are also commonly used in ball mills and perform well even in the biggest ball mills, thanks to their shock-

Grate Discharge mills will not face this issue. C) This value represents the Volumetric Fractional Filling of the Voids in between the balls by the retained slurry in the mill charge. As defined, this value should never exceed , but in some cases – particularly in Grate Discharge Mills – it could be lower than .

Furthermore, it should be observed that a grate discharge ball mill converts about 20% more energy than an overflow discharge mill with the same shell dimensions. Ball mill shells are often furnished with two manholes. Ball mills – with small balls or cylpebs – can produce the finest product of all tumbling mills. 80% minus 74 …

A grate assembly at the discharge en d of the mill permits retention of a higher ball charge (up to 50%) than is possible in an overflow mill which has a practical limit of around 40%. Behind the grates is a lifting compartment which picks up the ground material as it passes through the grates and transports it out of the mill.

The titan® Double-Shaft Hammer Crusher is used for crushing medium-hard rock. For wet limestone, wet marl, clay, chalk, gypsum and similar raw materials. It permits a large feed size and is capable of producing a clearly defined finished product size being preselected by the gaps of the discharge grate and therefore able to produce fedd ...

circuits or grate discharge mills [2]. On the one hand, the grate discharge mill, as the name implies, is fitted with a dis-charge diaphragm or grates between the cylindrical shell of the mill and the discharge Citation: Matsanga, N.; Nheta, W.; Chimwani, N. A Review of the Grinding Media in Ball Mills for Mineral Processing.

A SAG Mill trommel screen lets you control the true discharge size of your SAG mill or the transfer size to the downstream Ball Mill circuit. A well sized trommel should not let rocks pass to the Ball Mill if they are to be more than say 5/8″ or 16mm. In the image case below, strangely enough, is the mill shell liner and discharge …

After the mill there would be a screen with 1mm opening, fines to spirals, coarse back to the mill. I used rod mills for such a coarse grind, but the handling of the rods is not as easy as if you use balls. So the question came up what a grate discharge ball mill would do here. I never used one.

Two discharge configuration types were tested. The grate at two set open areas of 9.5% and 3.4% were used as well as the overflow type. The 1.25 m diameter and 2.20 m length mill was operated at two ball-load set points and a feed rate range of 1.50 tph to 2.25 tph for each configuration. Results showed that the grate configured ball mill ...

Discharge of pebbles, finer rock, ball scats and slurry from mills and its flow through trommels, and into other processing operations has strong impacts on overflow ball mill performance ...

Grate discharge mills usually take a coarser feed than overflow mills and are not required to grind so finely, the main reason being that with many small balls forming the charge, the grate open area plugs very quickly. The trunnion overflow mill is the simplest to operate and is used for most ball mill applications, especially for fine ...

The material to be ground is fed into the cylindrical drum, and as the drum rotates, the material is ground and discharged through the conical end. Conical ball mills are suitable for coarse grinding and can handle hard materials. 5. Grate Ball Mill. A grate ball mill is a type of ball mill that uses a grated discharge mechanism. The material ...

Due to the difference of ore discharge modes between the two mills, the productivity of grate ball mill is 10%–25% higher than that of overflow ball mill. When two-stage grinding is required, the first stage uses grate ball mill and the second stage uses overflow ball mill. When regrinding of coarse concentrate is required, overflow ball mill ...

The powder is discharged through the discharge grate to complete the grinding operation. The main function of the steel ball in the ball mill is to impact and crush the material, and also play a certain role in grinding. The quality of the crushing effect directly affects the grinding efficiency and ultimately affects the output of the ball ...

Grate discharge ball mill: the ore is discharged through the grate plate. The grating part can strictly control the minerals' discharge size that meets the demand, it has a good effect on fine particle grinding. 3. Peripheral type: discharge ore through the periphery of the cylinder.

The type of ball mill liner known as a grate liner is designed for discharge efficiency. It allows the discharge of ground materials via slots. With the Magotteaux range of alloys and their experience a longer lifetime and optimal grinding can be achieved. Designs of grate liners depend on their drilling pattern, mill speed, grinding media ...

Grate Discharge Ball Mills are the rule rather than the exception. Rod Mills for raw and finish grinding begin to enter the picture. Larger and larger diameter mills become common. Lengths tend to shorten. Cement grinding using Grate Discharge principles developed in the ore milling industry applied to the cement industry.

Other times, you need to enlarge the ball size diameter ie: using a 75 mm ball instead is 35 mm. Other times, you must control and reduce the feed size (crushing circuit product). Therefore, no, changing to a grate discharge ball …

Historically, grate discharge ball mills were used to avoid overgrinding and/or slimes generations when using larger ball size. At the time, smaller ball size did not exist and/or more expensive so that was the only way to achieve the grind economically. However, the paradox is that its use (grate discharge) also limits the size of grinding ...

Summary and conclusions. The slurry transportation in AG/SAG mills is a two-stage process consisting of flow through the grate and the discharge of slurry by pulp lifters into the discharge trunnion. The grate-only discharge condition provides the ideal relation between slurry hold-up and flowrate.
