control problem on-line with x0 = x(k) – Apply the optimal input moves u(k) = u 0 – Obtain new measurements, update the state and solve the OLOCP at time k+1 with x0 = x(k+1) – Continue this at each sample time Model Predictive Control (Receding Horizon Control) Implicitly defines the feedback law u(k) = h(x(k))
Operation aim of ball mill grinding process is to control grinding particle size and circulation load to ball mill into their objective limits respectively, while guaranteeing producing safely and stably. The grinding process is essentially a multi-input multi-output system (MIMO) with large inertia, strong coupling and uncertainty characteristics. Furthermore, being unable to …
Ball mills could operate dry or even process a water suspension (almost always for ores). Dry, it is fed through a chute or a screw through the unit's opening. In a wet path, a system of scoops that turn with the mill is used and it plunges into a stationary tank.

Using its model-based predictive control algorithm, BrainWave can effectively account for the transportation and dead time inherently present in the milling process. Controlling the particle size distribution at the ball mill will improve the operation and stability of the flotation cells so that chemical costs can be reduced.
Grinding is the process of achieving particle size reduction through attrition and compressive forces at the granular level. The grinding media in a ball mill is typically steel or ceramic balls of varying sizes, depending on the feed size, work index of the ore and the size reduction and distribution required in the discharge.

As each ball rolls through the counting chute, an electro-mechanical limit switch is activated, signalling the counter. Each count is added to the last, allowing a continual increasing total count of balls to enter the mill over a set time period. The total ball count can be monitored on the control panel at any time.
