For instance, versus 300% CL around 5% energy saving is obtained and the product has 5%-10% less -10um fraction (see 4th Grinding and Classification Law) But is better to use high frequency screen (like Derrick) as classification device. In this case the operation goes to lower circulating load (~150%) giving extra capacity to the mill.

Rao and Pawar (2010) conducted the multi-objective optimization for the grinding process by three different algorithms (artificial bee colony, harmony search, and simulated annealing algorithms). The process variables such as wheel speed, workpiece speed, and depth of dressing were taken into account. The results show that the …

Primary Grinding. HPGRs add efficiency to the primary grinding circuit for highly competent and complex ore bodies. HPGR product has microcracked particles which weakens the boundaries and lowers the Bond work index. This reduces the amount of ball milling power required downstream.

You would perform this grind tests over to time range to obtain a P80 size range. Say, for this example, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. After you filter the mill discharge product, perform a full screen analysis (wet screen 400 mesh) followed by dry sieve. Plot the P80 in microns (um) VS Grind Time to obtain your Grind Calibration Curve.
