  • Real-Time Monitoring System to Determine Wear of Grate Ribs in Semi-Autogenous Mills, to Detect Clogging Conditions of the Grates During the Operation and to Detect Working Conditions Under Direct Impact of the Balls on the Grates
    Publication number: 20140150524
    Abstract: A real-time monitoring system to monitor the wearing in the thickness of the ribs of a grate of a SAG mill. The grate can have a screening surface that includes a pulp lifter and an external surface that is not exposed to impacts, and can also include a central trough where the supporting elements fit and which allow securing the grate inside the mill through fitting bolts. The system can comprise: a sensor (accelerometer or strain gage) located on the external surface in which the sensor is connected to a sensor adaptor unit; a wireless transmitter connected to the sensor to transmit the signal from the sensor; a wireless receiver for receiving the signal from the wireless transmitter; and a signal reader connected to the wireless receiver which processes the signals received from the sensor.
