Improvement of methods to ensure energy efficiency of ball mills functioning

Abstract

Mining, metallurgical, enrichment and processing enterprises require a large amount of electricity consumption. Among them, hydrometallurgical and enrichment enterprises currently consume 50-60% of total costs and 5.2% of all world electricity. The main reason for this is the use of traditional ball mills. Including metallurgical, enrichment and processing enterprises consume 5-20% of the electricity produced in the world. The main way to improve the performance of ball mills is to optimize the operating modes of the electric drive and mill equipment, to ensure stable operation of the ball mill and electric motor at full load. To determine such operating modes and ensure the operation of equipment in them, modern control systems, methods for assessing the energy efficiency of ball mills and optimizing the operating modes of electrical systems are required.
