AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance for Ball Mills
By MOVUSBall mills are critical production assets in industries such as cement, mining & metals, steel, and fertilizers, where they grind ores, clinker, coal, and other raw materials into fine powders. Because failures can lead to major downtime, production losses, and safety risks, reliable monitoring is essential.
The document highlights common ball mill failure modes and operating challenges. Monitoring is further complicated by harsh environments (dust and heat) and restricted access, and traditional inspection-based maintenance is described as reactive and prone to missing early warning signs.
It then positions advanced sensor-based monitoring and analytics as the solution, explaining that the paper will cover why ball mills matter, real-world monitoring difficulties, the role of advanced sensors, and how the PlantOS Industrial AI platform detects early-stage ball mill faults.
