Multiple models based adaptive dynamic matrix control (ADMC) is proposed for the control of ball mill grinding circuit. Expert system is developed to identify the current ore hardness and then select a proper model for ADMC. Simulation results and industrial applications demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of this control strategy.
The expert system can also monitor many more points simultaneously and reacts to changes much faster than an operator, which helps to avoid upsets that sometimes caused downtime in the past. For example, if the load on the SAG mill increases too much, the expert system will quickly decrease the density and feed to bring conditions back into line.

The rule-based expert system for Ball Mills includes the latest technologies of Artificial Intelligence. The software can be also used for VRMs and combined systems of Roller Presses and Ball Mills. It secures permanent optimum production and energy efficiency – without any manual interaction necessity.
The ball mill grinding process is an important grinding process, the type selection and design of the grinding system is a complex process, so the previous design needs to rely on the experience of experts. It uses the expert system principles and case-based reasoning technology in the grinding system selection, to improve the design efficiency.
Although the mill weight provides a reasonable and reliable indication of mill loading, it is known to be a challenge to con - trol. Expert systems have typically been used to manage the mill load. However, these rule based techniques can only react after the mill is overloaded, and therefore must oper - ate more conservatively. The mill is unable
Ball mill grinding circuit is a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system characterized with couplings and nonlinearities. Stable control of grinding circuit is usually interrupted by great disturbances, such as ore hardness and feed particle size, etc. Conventional model predictive control usually cannot capture the nonlinearities caused by the disturbances in real practice.
