Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) The power used for the actual grinding process while grinding raw materials, depends mainly on the hardness of raw materials and the type of mill used, i.e. ball mill or vertical roller mill. Typically, the motor of the ball mill consumes about 14 - 15 kWh/ ton of raw mix whereas the VRM motor uses 7 - 8 kWh/ ton.

Blasted ore is further reduced in size by primary crushers, semiautogenous (SAG) and autogenous (AG) mills. SAG mills have special requirements on feed size distribution, which is influenced by the size distribution of the blasted rock (Esen 2013).The 80% passing size, x 80, is regularly used to evaluate the energy draw in size reduction (Workman and Eloranta 2003).

The ball mill is used for the grinding of a wide range of materials, including coal, pigments, and felspar for pottery, and it copes with feed up to about 50 mm in size. The efficiency of grinding increases with the hold-up in the mill, until the voids between the balls are filled. Further increase in the quantity then lowers the efficiency.

As the ball wear rate depends directly on the surface of the media charge, a small variation in power will lead to an important increase of wear rate. the risk of underloading or overloading the mill is an additional factor. a direct measurement of the ball level in the mill, more accurate than power readings, as well as a control of it, is.
