The aim is an exact modelling of the grinding processes, the surrounding machine structures, and the interaction effects. In Sects. 2 and 3, several methods to model both, the grinding process, and the machine structure are presented. In order to simulate interaction effects, process and machine models have to be coupled.Calculations are similar to that shown previously for grinding mill models. 11.4.4. Modelling AG/SAG Mills. While in conventional tumbling mills the size reduction is primarily by impact of grinding media (steel balls or rods) in AG or SAG mills the size reduction is mainly by abrasion and chipping off of particles and less so by impact. The ...
