predicted. Slurry pooling causes the power draw in AG and SAG mills to be lower than a mill without a slurry pool. This phenomenon results in overflow mills usually drawing less power than grate discharge mills that are operating without a slurry pool. This is because by definition overflow mills operate all of the time with a slurry pool.

The Pulp and Paper Making Processes - Princeton University
dilute slurry is then cleaned in cyclone cleaners and screened in centrifugal screens before being fed into the ''wet end* of the paper-forming machine. In the paper making process, the dilute stock passes through a headbox that distributes the fiber slurry uniformly over the width of the paper sheet to be formed.

The grate holds the balls inside the mill but allows the slurry to pass through, and it is then pumped out of the mill by the pulp lifters. This is different to an overflow mill which holds the slurry and balls inside until the slurry builds up to a level at which it is possible to overflow out of the discharge trunnion.
