Product flow rate control in ball mill grinding process using fuzzy logic controller

This paper shows a strategy for the fuzzy logic control system using an offline simulated ball mill grinding approach. In this study, a step change in the force reference signal is considered a disturbance. The current study focuses on the design and implementation of a fuzzy logic control system for product flow rate of ball mill grinding process. The performance of the system is analyzed by simulating the system using Simulink toolbox of Matlab. Simulation results demonstrate good convergence properties of the proposed strategy that the fuzzy logic control system is better than the PID control system in terms of robustness and less sensitiveness to parameter variations.
