The equilibrium charge is characterised by the diameter of the ball size used for compensation. Equilibrium charges may be mixed to adjust the required piece weight and surface area. Two or more balll sizes are then used for compensation. The average piece weight and the specific surface of an equilibrium charge with normal steel balls can be calculated according to’ 0.001913-D,?

Extract from under the centreline and dig as deeply as possible. Broken media is sorted ‘out. Separate in fractions as shown in examples on page A.6. Calculation of surface is based on the average piece weight and on the assumption that all the media are of spherical shape. This assumption also applies to cylindrical cyipebs. Piece weight and specific surface of the charge is calculated from the main fraction by disregarding media less than haif the diameter of the largest size used for compensation for wear. In compartments with classifying lining the charge normally consist of two equilibrium charges constituting a coarse-grinding and a fine-grinding charge, their proportions being determined during the dimensioning and adjusted during running in. The classifying effect is most clearly expressed in the proportion between the piece weights in the inlet end and outlet end of the compartment Ball mill Page A.15 Grinding media Sampling of grinding media Example 1: Ball charge Compartment 1 - compensated for wear with 90 mm balls.
