How to control Ball mill grinding & classification circuit without DCS system for effective control on continuous operation

I think, you must continuously check the draw point of ball mill and set this to the set point by changing the feed rate and Keeping the feed pulp 70% percent solid

What do u mean by draw point

Electicial power، set this as set point to 80%-85% nominal power of electromotor.
Also if you set this to over 85%, to prevent overload of ball mill, you should pay attention to the temperature and pressure of the oil on the tranioans and rate of reject.

Hello C

yes, Saeed is correct. Power-draw is your main driving factor. % Solids out of the mill is next. You will play around and identify what the optimum % Solids is for your situation. Personally, I push the kW to 90% of nominal. If your mill does not draw that much; you need to add balls.
