These mills typically grind ROM ore in a single stage. A large example of such a mill was converted from a single-stage milling application to a semi autogenous ball-mill-crushing circuit, and the application is well described. This refers to high-aspect AG/SAG mills. Ball Charge Motion inside a SAG Mill. With a higher density mill charge.
The disadvantages of ball mills include their considerable metal consumption and deterioration grinding media, as well as a lot of noise. Most of the energy useless lost during ball mill operation, leading to low it efficiency. But even a significant specific energy consumption for grinding material compensates beneficial effect by using mill.
Explain their understanding of ball mill operation. Explain the role of critical speed and power draw in design and process control. Recognize important considerations in ball mill selection.

Mill operation and maintenance. Operation of a ball mill is relatively simple, with no moving mechanical parts within the mill itself. The system is tolerant to variations in both mill feed quality and quantity. By contrast, the VRM is a more complex piece of equipment with a sophisticated hydraulics system that operates the rollers.
The power consumption of the grinding mill is a critical parameter in the economics of the chromite beneficiation process. The ball mill consumes about 25–30% of the total energy in the beneficiation plant, and hence any improvement will improve the overall economics of the plant. The power consumption of the ball mill was monitored for
