Ball Mills - Mineral Processing & Metallurgy
experience or laboratory tests before mill size can be determined. The required mill net power P kW ( = ton/hX kWh/ton) is obtained from. P = const. x c x q x nc x Li x Di2.5; where an approximate figure for the constant is 3.5 for rod mills, 4.0 for overflow ball or pebble mills and 4.5 for grate discharge ball or pebble mills.
