Ball Milling Ball mill performance was modelled using JKSimMet®. However, this modelling is not constrained with respect to available power versus comminution energy requirements; the power and breakage models are separate. Unlike the SAG model, there is no filling constraint. Therefore, constraints must

Slurry excess to the capacity of the gravity circuit overflows back to ball-mill feed. For those circuits treating ball-mill discharge, a sluice can often be arranged to provide some preconcentration for the gravity circuit.
