Starting from the motivation to look for means that allow to be more efficient to the organizations, processes, and people and considering the safety and the environment this thesis is proposed with the fundamental objective of maximizing the production which leads to greater flows of processed ore and lower consumption of energy and water. For this, a control based on fuzzy logic is designed, which allows controlling the variation of feed flow of the ore to the mill, as well as the flow of feed water to the discharge drawer of the mill. For this, four variables are considered: the granulometry that must be controlled in a desired maximum value, the engine power of the mill which must be maintained at the desired minimum values, the amperage of the cyclone pump motor which must be controlled to a desired maximum value and the level of the discharge drawer to be maintained at a desired maximum value, with these four considerations it is expected that the mill will operate without load cuts either due to overloads, as well as the risk of cyclone pump stops or the high level of the drawer, so that a pulp of mineral with a quality of granulometry suitable to the rougher flotation stage. With the four considerations raised a significant reduction of energy consumption, efficient use of water and a maximum flow of ore processed by the mill would be obtained. For this purpose, a review of existing control systems, theses referring to expert systems, and information on ball mills were performed, where the main control variables were identified in the grinding stage. To achieve this objective, we reviewed information on developments of expert systems in ball mills and mill controls, we found a thesis of an expert system applied to a ball mill based on fuzzy logic which does not specify the control design used and focuses on the results achieved, then the six states configured in the control design using fuzzy logic are posed: Active control status: Is activated if the fed ore flow is constant and the engine power of the mill has adequate values. Overload condition: Is activated if the motor power of the mill is below the controlled minimum and / or the level of the discharge chute is high, these two conditions are critical and can cause untimely stops and arrest of process lines causing stops of several hours. Cyclone pump high amperage state: is activated if the amperage of the pump motor is increased, being able to stop the pump and, therefore, the stop of the mill by the interlocks of protection, causing production losses and inefficient use of energy and water, this case is due to the characteristics of the ore cannot be controlled such as hardness of the ore, the ore treated and ore types. Control status of the granulometry: the granulometry of the overflow of the cyclones indicates quality of the milling, must be controlled at a desired and adequate value, this parameter significantly influences the recovery of the valuable mineral in the flotation. State of equilibrium: is fulfilled if the granulometry is adequate, the power of the mill is the minimum, in this state does not change the mineral flow, but if the flow of water with low flows. Low load state: Is given when the power of the mill is high or very high, it is the condition of mill discharged and / or the granulometry is low or very low, these conditions are indicators that the mill does not work at a desired optimum. By controlling these six states and manipulating the flows of water and mineral fed to the mill, we will take the mill to the state of maximum flow of ore fed to the mill where it is expected to have maximum quality of ore, minimum energy and water consumed. For the simulation of this application were considered as independent variables or manipulable flows of water and mineral fed to the mill, and as dependent variables amperage pump cyclones, cyclone pressure, mill power output, level drawer mill discharge and granulometry of the mill overflow.
