  • Method for maximizing throughput in an ore grinding system
    Patent number: 3960330
    Abstract: A system for optimizing ore throughput in an ore mill grinding system comprising means for direct weighing of the grinding system including the drive means, means for weighing the new ore input, and controller means regulating the new ore input to achieve maximum efficiency of ore grinding utilizing heuristic problem solving method which also prevents grinding system overload while permitting maximum ore throughput. Changes in grinding system parameters due to grinding media wear and ore grindability are automatically compensated by the controller means.
