Project 14x16ft, 1500kW ROM Mill. This supply was unique
in that an existing 14x16ft SAG mill was upgraded to operate
as a ROM (Run of Mine) ball mill accepting -150mm material,
grinding material to -75um. Process design was verified
through JKtech as traditional Bond theory was not applicable
for this oversized feed process. The mill underwent FEA
to ensure that the design structural integrity was sufficient
for the new application. The upgraded design included redrilling
the shell for the included supply of solid Chomoly liners
with a grate discharge. The mill was designed to operate
in 2 possible process conditions as either 1000tons/hr closed
circuit with a recirculating load of 450% or in open circuit
at 200tph fresh feed. The mill was supplied with a new girth
gear, pinion assembly and new motor. NCP included delivery
to the DRC, installation and commissioning assistance.
