A cement grinding mill “A” with a capacity of 50 tons/hr utilizes forged steel grinding balls costing P12,000/ton, which have a wear rate of 100 grams/ton cement milled. Another cement mill “B” of the same capacity uses high chrome steel grinding balls costing P50,000/ton with wear rate of 20 grams/ton cement milled. Determine the more economical grinding mill, considering other factors to be the same.
