I would like to know the relationship between mill weight and mill liner wear, is there an existing model for this? Has anyone looked at this before?
Obviously low mill weight can impact toe position, reduce attrition and abrasion breakage, increase recirculating load, etc, which all contribute to mill liner wear.
If all other parameters were constant (mineralogy, mill density, media g/t, etc) can you develop a relationship that directly relates mill weight to the rate of wear of a liner? What does this relationship look like? Is it linear? Exponential?
Has anyone done this before? Unfortunately as with most mills my feed is quite variable so even at constant mill weight and parameters my wear rates change. I am trying to get an understanding of this relationship, any help would be appreciated.
