For instance, using mill optimization software can lead to up to 3% reduction in specific energy consumption and up to 10% increase in production capacity. Optimizing ball mill internals: The internal design of the ball mill, including the diaphragms, liners, and grinding media, can also impact the grinding efficiency.
Tumbling mills have been widely implemented in many industrial sectors for the grinding of bulk materials. They have been used for decades in the production of fines and in the final stages of ore comminution, where optimal levels for the enrichment particles' sizes are obtained. Even though these ubiquitous machines of relatively simple …
In terms of this concept, the energy efficiency of the tumbling mill is as low as 1%, or less. For example, Lowrison (1974) reported that for a ball mill, the theoretical energy for size reduction (the free energy of the new surface produced during grinding) is 0.6% of the total energy supplied to the mill setup.
Improving the grinding efficiency in tumbling mills is essential to minimising comminution energy consumption. Over the years, fundamental insights gained from ball mill …

Typical power consumption for a 5-m diameter by 7-m-long ball mill is between 2.5 and 3.5 MW. The actual proportion of this energy usefully used in size reduction is thought to be very low, perhaps in the range of 1–5%. Significant financial and environmental benefits can be obtained by improving this efficiency even slightly.
