The original ball load in the mill was 6614 lb. (3000 kg.) and the load at the end of the 694 hr. was 6338 lb. (2874.8 kg.). During this time, 590 lb. (267.6 kg.) of balls less than 3 in. (76.2 mm.) in diameter were discarded from the mill. The screen analysis of the ball charge at the end of the operation is shown in Table 20.

Clinker, Gypsum and other desired additives are fed to the ball mill in specific proportions based on the quality requirement. Feed material is ground in the ball mill, discharged and fed to a classifier with the help of a bucket elevator for classification of the ground cement into two streams – coarse and fines.

The ball charge is determined by the operator targeting the balance between grind and throughput, the higher the ball charge the more aggressive the milling becomes. With softer oxide ores lower ball charges are usual however the harder sulphides does need more media energies to meet the P80 target and an acceptable throughput.
