WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Based on experience acquired over the years and the investigative work conducted by Bond, it was established that the optimum circulating load for a closed ball mill cyclone circuit is around 250%. This value is used as guideline for the design of new circuits as well as to assess the performance of existing circuits.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The cyclone overflow would allow a lot of this middling size to escape the grinding circuit. This would decrease the amount of material that the ball mill would have to grind. Which in turn would lower the amount of ground ore returned to the cyclone for reclassification. This again would lower the resulting ball mill load even further.
