are visually depicted in the accompanying Graph 1, pro-
viding a graphical representation of the anticipated media
losses during catracting and cascading motions within the
ball mill.
Continuing the analysis, a cumulative summation of
cascading and catracting mass losses is depicted in the sub-
sequent Graph 2. Simultaneously, the proportional reduc-
tions in real-time media availability, resulting from the wear
of media, are illustrated in the Graph 2secondary axis below.
These graphical representations offer a comprehensive view
of the cumulative mass losses incurred during cascading
and catracting motions, along with the dynamic depiction
of the proportional decrease in media availability over time
due to the wearing of media. Together, these graphs provide
a nuanced insight into the evolving characteristics of media
wear within the operational context of the ball mill.
After analysing Graph 1, it becomes evident that, at the
35-minute mark, there is a notable peak in media loss due
to wear. To delve deeper into this occurrence, operational
parameter graphs were generated for the same time instant.
In Graph 3, ore feed rate and recirculation rate are plot-
ted, while Graph 4 and Graph 5 illustrate power consump-
tion and mill motor rpm. Notably, at the 35-minute mark,
heightened peaks in operational parameters are observed,
