Grinding balls are an indispensable grinding medium in vertical grinding mills, grinding ore powder to target size. Some were severely worn and unrounded by iron ore from Anshan, China, during grinding operation in the vertical grinding mill (VTM-1500, Outotec). Their service failure behavior was explored, based on classifying …

The present work applies the mechanistic mill model approach originally developed for ball mills by the UFRJ research group to the description of batch grinding in a pilot-scale vertical stirred mill. The model is used in its original form (Carvalho and Tavares, 2013) and predictions are compared to grinding of two materials at different ...

Some were severely worn and unrounded by iron ore from Anshan, China, during grinding operation in the vertical grinding mill (VTM-1500, Outotec). Their service failure behavior was explored, based on classifying the wear shapes of the recovered grinding balls, combined with the ore-media operating behavior.
