To get rid of pulp and rocks in the charge, a mill grind-out (no ore feed) of 10 to 20 minutes is also performed before mill inspection or relining. The complete grind-out is required to obtain the accurate ball load measurement or the percentage by volume of balls in the mill. This is usually performed soon after a crash stop.
AG mills (or SAG mills with low ball charges) are often used in single-stage grinding applications.
