Abstract:

Purpose. Justification of the criterion for automatic optimization of the ore grinding process in self-grinding drum mills by compiling and researching mathematical models of material movement inside the drum of a rotating mill. 

Methodology. Methods of mathematical modeling of the internal mechanics of drum mills in combination with experimental studies of the spectral density of the variable component of the active power consumed by the drive motor of the mills are used. 

Findings. As a result of the simulation, it was established that the loose material placed on the inner surface of the rotating drum undergoes periodic oscillations under certain conditions. The parameters of these oscillations depend on the radius of the drum, the amount of material and the coefficient of friction. It is theoretically justified that in the case of load fluctuations, the work of friction forces and, therefore, the process of material destruction intensifies. The theoretically obtained conclusions are confirmed by the results of experimental studies of the active power signal spectrum of the drive motor of the mills in the characteristic low-frequency range. It is found that the most intense fluctuations occur at a certain degree of filling of the drum of the mill in the working range of fillings and their intensity correlates with the productivity of the mill according to the newly created finished class. 

Originality. The mechanism of occurrence of fluctuations in the ore load of drum mills is revealed and the connection of this phenomenon with indicators of the technological efficiency of the grinding process is substantiated.  

Practical value. It is advisable to use the intensity of fluctuations of the ore load as a criterion for automatic control of mill loading, since this parameter characterizes the technological efficiency of the mill and can be measured quickly. Using the intensity of ore loading fluctuations as a control criterion allows implementing a search system for extreme control of mill loading.
