W. I. Garms-—The authors state that when they added 11 tons of balls to the 45 pct volume ball load, the power needle did not budge. The question arises as to whether any increase in capacity accompanied the 11-ton addition. It is hardly conceivable that all of the balls making up the l l-ton addition were sterile. However, as the work done in the ball mill is …

An overfilling indicator for wet overflow ball mills
— The increased mill charge load will lead to an increase in mill power draw. The onset point of overfilling an AG/SAG mill can be indicated when the mill power draw exceeds the safe operation power threshold. In a ball mill, however, the mill power draw is dominated by ball media charge volume for a given mill rotational speed.
