F 80 is the mill circuit feed size in micrometers. Rod mill. A rotating drum causes friction and attrition between steel rods and ore particles. [citation needed] But note that the term 'rod mill' is also used as a synonym for a slitting mill, which makes rods of iron or other metal. Rod mills are less common than ball mills for grinding minerals.

Ball Mill Grinding Circuit The ball mill is in closed circuit with a sump and three cyclone classifiers. The ore and trim water are added to the ball mill and the outflow from the ball mill goes to a sump where additional water is added. The slurry from the ball mill is pumped out of a sump into two cyclone separators. The underflow from the ...

In a ball mill circuit, the "output" can be defined as the production rate of fines of the circuit. As for any output, ball mill circuit output is a function of both its inputs and efficiencies. There are two "inputs" to a ball mill circuit: the ore fed to the circuit and the power delivered by the grinding mill.
