V P P P: Alid Ractice Roduction Rocess

This document provides guidelines for monitoring, inspecting, and evaluating a ball cement mill as part of the production process. It outlines procedures for safely inspecting the mill and monitoring performance metrics like material sampling, gas measurement, heat balance, and process flow. Methods are described for evaluating the mill's circuit efficiency, separator efficiency, grinding efficiency, ball charge calculation and management through techniques like relative mill speed calculation, axial sampling, and ball sorting. The overall aim is to help optimize the ball cement mill.
