Figure Simplified calculation of the torque required to turn a mill. RI FULWLFDO VSHHG 3RZHU Figure The effect of mill speed on the power drawn by a rotating mill. The liner profile and the stickiness of the pulp in the mill can have a significant effect on the actual critical velocity. Mills usually operate in the range 65 82% of critical but values as high as 90% are sometimes used
