Optimal solutions for Comminution

TENOVA is a worldwide supplier of advanced technologies, products and engineering services for the
iron & steel and mining industries.

TENOVA BATEMAN MILLS

Tenova TAKRAF has been actively supplying mills into the
mining industry since 1922.
We offer a full range of mills suited to the minerals industry.
SAG & AG mills - up to 11.6 m (38) diameter.
Ball mills - up to 7.9 m (26) diameter.
Rod mills - up to 4.5 m (15) diameter.
All mill designs are proven in the field and are backed by
FEA if required.
Tenova Bateman mills are designed to global standards or
to meet client specific requirements.

Tenova Mining & Minerals is a total integrated solutions provider to the global mining, bulk materials handling and
minerals beneficiation and processing sectors, offering innovative technological solutions and full process and
commodity knowledge across the mining industry value chain.

Tenova TAKRAF is a key supplier of equipment and systems for open pit mining and bulk handling, having provided
hundreds of complete systems, as well as individual machines to clients all over the world. Comminution systems for
milling and crushing requirements in mining and mineral processing are based on a track record dating back to the
1920s. Air pollution control, specialised handling equipment, and technology for the cement and fly ash industries and
pneumatic conveying, ensure selection of optimal processing options. A comprehensive after sales service is provided.
Bateman Engineered Technologies (previously part of the Bateman Engineering Group) is now trading as Tenova TAKRAF.
Tenova TAKRAF designs comminution systems for coal mining and preparation, industrial minerals, mining and
processing and other non-metallic mining and processing systems. Crushing systems include in-pit, primary, secondary,
tertiary and quaternary crushing systems. An extensive size reduction database from a significant number of
installations is used to recommend crusher models and sizes.
Tenova TAKRAF has the services of a world authority in semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) and is experienced in design
and construction of large autogenous grinding (AG) and SAG circuits. It has many rod and ball milling references.

MILL CONFIGURATIONS
Drives
Mills can be designed to operate using either
synchronous low speed motors driving the pinion
through a clutch system, or
asynchronous motors driving the pinion through a
reducer.
Motors can be WRIM or slip-ring type and can be offered
with an electronic variable speed controller if required.
Discharge Configuration
Grate discharge is normally used in AG, SAG and
some Ball Mill applications.
This screen grate installed near the discharge end of the
mill has slots to allow material to pass through. It
incorporates pulp lifters to assist with slurry discharge.
The grate and pulp lifters act in a similar way to a pump
in drawing material from the mill.
A discharge trunnion is typically used in ball mills
Overflow discharge allows for natural overflow of slurry

through the trunnion, caused by a gradient designed into

the trunnion inserts. The discharge trunnion insert is
normally fitted with a reverse scroll to help keep larger
ore particles and steel balls in the mill.
Lubrication
Tenova Bateman mills are trunnion supported and use
either hydrodynamic or hydrostatic lubrication depending
on design requirements.
Bearings are of proven design and include 120 enclosed
self-aligning rocker white metal bearings for the
hydrodynamic lube systems and bronze bushings for the
hydrostatic option.
Lubrication systems are designed in-house, while we will
use any recognised lube system that the client may
request.
The gear set is designed in accordance with AGMAstandard practice, with protection provided by triple
labyrinth seals on the girth gear cover. A FARVAL or
equivalent gear spray lube system is used.

BASIC MILL APPLICATION DATA

The Third Theory of Grinding, published by Fred C. Bond
of Allis Chalmers in 1952, for calculating crusher and
grinding mill power requirements permits
rapid, accurate power calculation,
evaluation of circuit efficiency, and
selection of the most economically sized comminution
machines.
The Third Theory, also known as the Bond Formula, was
based upon data compiled and correlated from several
thousand laboratory tests and was confirmed in the field
from operating data, gathered over a period of more than
40 years. The results revealed that
the quantity of size reduction is proportional to the
work required to accomplish that reduction.
each material has a definite Work Index (Wi).
each mill size has a definite rated power.
The Bond Formula yields the work required to reduce a
material, of known Work Index, from an infinitely large size
to the desired product size, less the work required to
reduce the same material to its present (partially reduced)
feed size from an infinite size.
The resultant work (W), measured in kilowatt-hours per
ton, indicates the overall energy requirement to reduce
the material, of known Work Index, from present Feed size
to the desired Product size.
