Ball mills are extensively used in the size reduction process of different ores and minerals. The fill level inside a ball mill is a crucial parameter which needs to be monitored regularly for optimal operation of the ball mill. In this paper, a vibration monitoring-based method is proposed and tested for estimating the fill level inside a laboratory-scale ball mill. A vibration …

Autogenous grinding is a process of reducing the particle size distribution of an extracted ore by using the ore itself as the grinding media. It is a process that is difficult to control and there is a lack of knowledge of the events occurring inside the mill. To find out more about how the mill behaves under different processing conditions, a full factorial test was performed …

A further attempt to measure inside the mill was detailed by Martins in his doctoral thesis at McGill University Montreal, Quebec. Martins presented the study of an instrumented ball, a camera system and a DEM analysis to propose mill entropy measurement. The system was successful in laboratory scale with wood and plastic as the mill charge.

The charge level of a mill can be described as the volume occupied by the grinding media (including empty spaces) as a fraction of the total volume available inside the equipment. Assuming this definition, other measurements may be taken considering the total charge that includes the rock charge; in this case, applicable to SAG and AG mills.
