An electric motor operated rotary drum type grinding mill is operated at optimal efficiency by detecting and analyzing the motor current. The power signals are converted by signal processing equipment for presentation as pictorial display representations of mill operating conditions at a variety of motor current levels to permit unskilled operators to understand the current operating conditions. Instantaneous on line current signals are derived from the mill by a transformer coupling without rewiring or modification. Analytical equipment processes the detected current signals for mill control, storage of historical performance and pictorial display. Mill operation is accordingly controlled in semi-automatic or fully automatic modes that maintain optimum mill efficiency. |
