The model consists of two major parts: shaker ball mill dynamics simulation and the grinding model. The dynamics simulation is used to find out how the number of collisions, the total kinetic energy, and the rate of energy dissipation in the system depend on both the frequency and amplitude of vibrations and on the number of balls.

When the test ball mill is run in open circuit the design feed rate is 27.42 tonnes/hour. Figure 4 compares the predicted size distributions from the open circuit ball mill with feed rates of 20.0, 27.62 and 35.0 tonnes/hour respectively. As might be expected, the larger the feed rate the coarser the grinding mill discharge product.
