Realisation of energy saving potential at mining enterprises on the basis of optimal intramill filling

The authors present the development of an automated system for controlling the loading of the output mill of pebbles and scrap of the beneficiation plant of JSC Lebedinsky GOK on the basis of measurement of bearing vibration signals. The object of our research is a universal orepebble ball mill (MSHRGU 4500x6000). The aim of the work is to develop, on the basis of the analysis of domestic and foreign experience, a mechanism for increasing productivity and minimising specific energy consumption of the ball mill by optimising the intramill filling. The proposed system will ensure the technological process of the mill in the modes of maximum loading with no overloading, which will increase the efficiency of production by reducing specific energy consumption.
