Detaching an adhering charge from an inner wall of a grinding tube

The invention relates to a method for detaching an adhering charge (22) from an inner wall (20) of a grinding tube (6) and to an arrangement (8) for detaching an adhering charge (22) from an inner wall (20) of a grinding tube (6). According to the method, the grinding tube (6) is rotated back in a drive-free manner from a pre-determinable, assumed rotary position (28) by the weight force (30) of the adhering charge (22), wherein at least one movement state variable (40) of the grinding tube (6) is detected and the grinding tube (6) is braked while being rotated back in dependence on the at least one detected movement state variable (40) in order to detach the adhering charge (22) from the inner wall (20) of the grinding tube (6). The arrangement (8) comprises a detecting device (14), a drive unit (10), a braking device (12) and a control device (16) which are each provided to carry out the method according to the invention.
