ME Grinding Apps

The ME Elecmetal Grinding Apps is a collection of useful calculators and other tools to help you make most effective use of grinding media in your mills. This App can be used through your computer web browser or downloaded to your Apple or Android mobile device.

 

The Apps include the following sections:

SAG Mills

  • Vp Estimation provides three different methods for determining the mill volumetric load (Vp).

 

  • Power Draw models for predicting SAG mill power draw characteristics.

 

  • Ball Charge Estimation can be used to provide an estimate of the percent steel in the overall charge for your SAG mill based on power draw models.

 

  • Mill Critical Speed can be used to quickly calculate the mill critical speed based on mill rpm and diameter.

 

  • Ball Charge characteristics provides an estimate of the characteristics of the ball charge in your SAG mill which are important in terms of its grinding and wear performance.

 

  • Impact Energy charts provides a graphical illustration of the relationship between impact energy and falling distance for various steel ball diameters.

Ball Mills

  • Vp Estimation provides three different methods for determining the mill volumetric load (Vp).

 

  • Mill Power Draw can be used to determine the ball mill power draw characteristics, which are closely tied to the nature of the ball charge present in the mill.

 

  • Mill Critical Speed can be used to quickly calculate the mill critical speed based on mill rpm and diameter.

 

  • Ball Charge Characteristics provides various characteristics of the ball charge in the mill which are important in terms of its grinding and wear performance.

 

  • Ball Sizing can be used to determine the recommended size of grinding ball to be adding to the ball mill.

 

  • Ball Size Distribution generates charts comparing the predicted ball size distribution by weight and by surface area for two different equilibrium ball charges.

Rod Mills

  • Vp Estimation provides three different methods for determining the mill volumetric load (Vp).

 

  • Mill Power is used for determination of rod mill power draw characteristics.

 

  • Mill Critical Speed can be used to quickly calculate the mill critical speed based on mill rpm and diameter.

 

  • Rod Sizing makes use of Fred C. Bond’s formula for determining the recommended diameter of rod added to the rod mill.

 

  • Rod Weight is a calculator used to determine the weights of individual and bundled rods.
