Abstract (en)

[origin: US6619574B1] The method of monitoring the level of filling of a ball mill which is fed with material to be pulverized and is provided with a drum mounted to rotate on two bearings which are relatively far apart, consists in measuring the weight of the drum using strain gauge weight sensors (11-16) under the bearings supporting the drum of the ball mill and comparing the measured weight to a predefined set point value to regulate the feeding of material to be pulverized to the ball mill. In addition, before the comparison step, the measured weight is corrected by a first weight value (Fv) representative of the vertical component of the force created by the torque driving rotation of the drum.
