Typically, at least three single ball sizes are needed to unambiguously model the effect of ball diameter on milling rate. Then, a mix of balls can also be tested to mimic for example a real ball size distribution of an industrial plant. This set of information is then incorporated in the simulation model to obtain the optimum charge composition.
