Short-term mine production planning aims to make daily, weekly, or monthly operational decisions that best meet strategic production targets under existing operating conditions and constraints [1].Blom et al. [2] reviewed past advancements in short-term planning for open pit mines, while recent developments consider the …
Detailsmesh (1.7 mm) ensuring that the ball mill will work efficiently. Coarser screens than 10 mm will cause serious losses in ball mill efficiency. Ball mill feed must never exceed 80% passing 3 mm if reasonable ball mill efficiency is expected. The practice of using ½ inch screens (trommels) is an encroachment on this limit and is perhaps the most
