As per your given mill details.(mill output assumed to be 45 tons / hr) for more details you can contact me at vikprocem@gmail.com It is not so easy to understand the cement plant without being present at site. But, still according to my calculations- - The size of your first chamber grinding media seems to be more.

- Max ball size should be upto 70 mm

Regarding the questions asked:

  • is it an open-circuit ball mill or a closed-cicuit? Closed Circut.
  • are you using steel balls or ceramic balls? Steel Balls
    (could be ceramic sometimes for white cement)
  • are you producing one main product or
    are you producing several different products? One type white cement wth around 4000 blain
  • eventually, what kind of separator is being used? Dont Have
    how does the separation curve looks like,
    how much is the bypass ratio,
    circulating load, ....
  • what is the (main) product being produced?
    what are the raw materials and the recipe? 95% clinker and 5% gypsum
    what is the fineness of the cement Around 4000 blain
    particle size distribution of the cement, ...
  • are you using grinding aids? Very little
  • what are the temperatures in the grinding circuit? Dont have
  • if it is a closed circuit, could you provide the
    particle size distribution of the separator feed, reject, product?
  • what is the current power consumption and hourly production
    and what is the current rotation speed?
  • It could be also useful to explain the symbols you are using!
    Is D80 related to the feed or the product? Feed
    Some people write P80 when it is the product and F80 for the feed !
    What do you mean by Pc, for example? Percent of critical speed
    What are s or K?
    Also show all the units in your data, I guess D80 is in µm? Yes
    What do you call "critical speed", and what are the units?
  • Would should also provide the formulas you are using.
    Attaching an Excel file would be the easiest way.
  • I attached the formula and excel sheet. I dont have any data regarding the seperator.
