Frequently asked questions

FAQs for grinding mill upgrades & rebuilds

Mill performance can be optimised by maximising ore and grinding charge level according to design in order to draw the optimum power. Optimised liner design can also improve mill performance. 

You can save energy in a mill circuit by optimising close-circuit cyclone performance to manage circulating load and by changing metal liners to composite liners.

Grinding mills are subject to high cyclical forces and as a result of a one-off event, design conditions can be exceeded. Such events could lead to cracks in heads, shell and trunnions in the long term. Routine inspections and maintenance can prevent these extreme cases and offer the opportunity to rebuild the mill. Over time design tools have improved, meaning mill components can be designed more optimally leading to improved performance.
