SITUATION
Ore Work Index, kWh(net) /metric ton
Based on Net Power Available.
Feed Size, F80, microns
Product Size, P80, microns
ENTER YOUR Design Throughput, ton/hr
Specific Energy, kWh/ton
Obtained from Bond's Third Law of Comminution 
Net Power Requirement, kW
Number of Mills for the Task
Net kW / Mill
Available Net Power per Mill.
MILL DIMENSIONS AND OPERATING CONDITIONS :
Eff. Diameter (ft)
Mill Diameter, inside liners.
Eff. Length (ft)
Effective Grinding Lenght.
Mill Speed % Critical
Rotational Mill Speed, expressed as a percentage of the critical centrifugation speed of the mill.
Mill rpm
L/D
Effective Length to Diameter Ratio.
% Solids in the Mill
Ore Density, ton/m3
Slurry Density, ton/m3
Balls Density, ton/m3
Charge % Filling

Balls % Filling
B)
Interstitial Slurry Filling,%
C)
Lift Angle, (°)
D)
Power Oversize, %
Desired value, using Tools / Goal Seek, changing Cellin Purple
Power, kW
 Balls
Fraction of the Total Mill Power Draw contributed by the Ball Charge.
 Overfilling
Fraction of the Total Mill Power Draw contributed by the Overfilling Slurry on top of the "kidney".
 Slurry
Fraction of the Total Mill Power Draw contributed by the Interstitial Slurry in the ball charge.
 Net Total
"Tune this" to the known installed Power/Mill value by properly adjusting the Cells in Gray
 % Losses
 Gross Total
Mill Charge Weight, tons
Apparent Density ton/m3
Corresponds to the ratio between the Total Charge Weight and its Apparent Volume (including interstitial voids).
Charge Volume m3
Ball Charge
Slurry Interstitial
Slurry above Balls
HYDROCYCLONES CLUSTER : (Preliminary Sizing)

Cyc PSI 
Estimation based on FLSmith (Krebs) Capacity Correlation. Ideally, design value should not exceed 13 psi. If higher, increase # of Cyclones or Cyclone Diameter.
Mill Feed (incl. Recycle) Flow Number
ton/hr m3/hr FLOW NUMBER: 
Direct Circuit: Keep < 4 to assure sufficient slurry transport capacity of the mill.
Reverse Circuit: Keep < 4 to assure sufficient slurry transport capacity of the mill.
