## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for sizing vertical stirred mills like Vertimill or SMD. It allows AI agents to calculate critical parameters including mill diameter and height using `calculate_mill_dimensions`, determine electrical requirements with `calculate_power_requirement`, and optimize grinding media using `optimize_media_charge`. It also includes `evaluate_mill_efficiency` to assess performance against production targets.

## Tools

### calculate_mill_dimensions
Determine the physical size (diameter and height) of the mill required to process a specific load

### calculate_power_requirement
Determine the electrical and mechanical power necessary to drive the mill

### evaluate_mill_efficiency
Assess how well a specific mill configuration meets the grinding target

### optimize_media_charge
Find the ideal mass and volume of grinding media to maximize grinding efficiency

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the dimensions for a mill processing 50 tph of ore with a work index of 15, target size of 75 microns, and media density of 4500 kg/m3?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required mill dimensions are a diameter of 2.5 meters and a height of 4.2 meters, with a total volume of 21.1 m3.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much power is needed for a 3m diameter, 5m high mill grinding ore with a work index of 12 at 15 rpm?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required power is 450 kW with a motor rating of 500 kW.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the optimal media charge for a mill with 2.5m diameter and 4m height for an ore with work index 14 and media density 4000 kg/m3.
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal media mass is 12,500 kg with a media volume of 3.125 m3, resulting in a fill level of 25%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What parameters are needed for mill sizing?**
To use `calculate_mill_dimensions`, you need the ore work index, target product size, required throughput, and media density.

**Can I optimize the media charge?**
Yes, the `optimize_media_charge` tool calculates the ideal mass and volume of grinding media to maximize efficiency.

**How is power requirement calculated?**
The `calculate_power_requirement` tool determines power based on mill dimensions, ore hardness, target size, and agitator speed.
