Calculation of Circulating Load in a Classifier. A mechanical classifier often receives its feed from a ball mill and produces (1) finished material which overflows to the next operation and (2) sand which returns to the mill for further sizereduction. The term "circulating load" is defined as the tonnage of sand that returns to the ball ...

Coarser: Mill will grind slower, classifier overflow will thin out, get finer. If fed too fast, a grate mill may plug.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377For a standard ball mill circuit the circulating load is usually 250%, as established by Bond (1962). The classification efficiency depends directly on circulating load (Hukki and Eklund, 1965 ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Based on experience acquired over the years and the investigative work conducted by Bond, it was established that the optimum circulating load for a closed ball mill cyclone circuit is around 250%. This value is used as guideline for the design of new circuits as well as to assess the performance of existing circuits.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377When using a hydrocyclone control concept being based on volume split regulation, a grinding circuit can be operated in a wide range between ≈150% and 620% of circulating load. The high solids content of 1200 g/l in the underflow results in a minimum of circulating load, at the same time preventing overgrinding.
