Description
Summary:A new technique to help reduce internal damage to autogenous and semi-autogenous grinding mills, caused by the tumbling motion of rocks and balls, is in the final stage of development. The continuously powered on-line vibration monitoring system is able to locate the points where tumbling material has a direct impact on the mill's lifters and liners, causing excessive damage which results in more frequent shutdowns for maintenance to replace worn or damaged parts.
