- Detecting liner wear and potential liner damage before critical failures occur.
- Identifying grate plugging events and their impact on mill performance.
- Monitoring charge impact conditions and load behaviour.
- Optimising the relationship between ball charge and total mill load.
- Maximising throughput while protecting liners and grinding media.
- Applying real-world industrial case studies to improve grinding circuit performance.
Webinar Overview
Grinding is one of the most complex and energy-intensive processes in a concentrator plant. For decades, operational decisions have largely relied on indirect process variables, providing only limited insight into what is actually occurring inside the mill.This Molycop Insights webinar entirely in Spanish, titled "Optimising Grinding in Real Time: Insights from Inside the Mill", will explore how vibration sensors installed on the mill shell, combined with advanced analytics and real-time data processing, are transforming the way AG, SAG, and ball grinding circuits are monitored and optimised.
Through industrial case studies and practical applications, attendees will discover how Advanced Analytics Measurements (AAM) provide visibility into internal operating conditions, helping identify opportunities for improvement and optimise process performance with every mill rotation.
The session will also demonstrate how real-time mill monitoring can support early detection of liner wear and damage, identification of grate plugging events, assessment of charge impact conditions, optimisation of ball charge management, and strategies for increasing throughput while protecting critical mill components.
