Ball MillScan
BALL MILL FILL LEVEL MEASUREMENT
OVERVIEW BENEFITS
• OPTIMISE MILL THROUGHPUT
The Ball MillScan utilises the latest in digital signal processing techniques available to provide Controlling the mill fill level rather than
an accurate indication of the ball mill fill level. The system is made up of 2 wireless shell sensors bearing pressure increases milling

and 2 wired inlet/outlet sensors. Such signals can be used in an automated control loop or
assist control room operators in manual control.
• MAINTAIN CONSISTENT POWER DRAW

(~100 ft.) long. All cables are shielded. The main unit requires AC power (100-220 VAC, 50/60 • INCREASE MILL EFFICIENCY
Hz) and has a 4-20mA output that corresponds to the mill fill level for each of the sensors (shell, Lower kWh/ton milled.

FEATURES
• High frequency indication of mill fill level that can be used
to increase the ROI of your existing mill.
• Zero crosstalk from adjacent (nearby) mills.
• All digital system, no component drift, not affected by
temperature, dust or dirt unlike typical microphone
systems.
• 4-20mA output
• 3X resolution when compared to microphone-based
systems.
• Fast and easy installation that typically can be performed in
less than two hours and does not require mill shutdown.
• A quick calibration procedure that can be performed in less
than 5 minutes per sensor when the mill is operating under
normal conditions. i.e. The mill is filled to a level that is
used in normal 'day to day' production.
• Signal sensitivity changes can be made very quickly without
re-calibrating the unit.
