General Description
This model implements fixed or predictive comminution for different types of mills. The model can handle multiple ore streams with common or different parameters. The user can select one of the following methods:
- User defined fixed discharge partition curve
- Leung autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mill model
- Lynch rod mill model
- Napier-Munn perfect mixing ball mill model
- Napier-Munn perfect mixing vertical stirred mill model
- Herbst-Fuerstenau grinding model
Requires Met Dynamics Add-On and license from Met Dynamics.
Diagram
The diagram shows the default drawing of the Mill, with all of the streams that are available to be connected to the unit.
The physical location of the streams connecting to the Mill is unimportant. The user may connect the streams to any position on the unit.
