can improve and optimise SAG mill grinding performances via realtime monitoring technology [15]. In addition, the measurement of vibrationacoustic emission signals has emerged as a promising tool to understand the state of the mill (AG/SAG mill and ball mills) [1628]. Notwithstanding, more accurate and precise prediction is a topical subject
m length (190) single SAG mill equipped with a 20 MW electric motor. The SAG mill product flows to two m (120) by m (240) horizontal screens, whose combined oversize (pebbles) is diverted to two MP 800 cone crushers. The crushed product returns to the SAG mill feed, closing the primary grinding circuit. The horizontal screen ...
With high aspect ratio SAG mills total charge to ball charge ratio should be greater than 2 (up to ) for a coarse mill feed (say F80 > 110 mm). If the mill feed size is fine, say 50 mm or 30 mm, then you are looking at a total charge to ball charge ratio of about These are guidelines and may fluctuate a bit depending on the ...
Therefore, SAG mills are favored by large mines and are becoming more and more widely used in the mineral processing industry [1,2]. A SAG mill has low speed and heavy load, which cause the energy consumption of grinding operation to be very high. It accounts for a large proportion of the electrical consumption across the plant .
A large 24foot ( m) diameter ball mill charge typically weighs around 2 million lbs (907 tons). Semi Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill charge can be equally as heavy. The charge starts tumbling at different angles, depending on the application and size of the mill.
As one of the machines widely used in mining, a semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill can significantly improve the roughing efficiency of rock. But the SAG mill still faces the obstacles of significant energy consumption and empirical operation parameters. In order to obtain the optimal operation parameters of a SAG mill, in this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate the ...

It is similar in operation to a SAG mill as described below but does not use steel balls in the mill. Also known as ROM or "Run Of Mine" grinding.
> Mill throughput and efficiency gains are iterative over time > Mill trajectory modelling based on bar heights, angles, spacing and speed is very predictive > Field trials are the acid test operator, designer and vendor > Optimisation strategy: Maximise impact grinding AG/SAG mills Avoid impact on the shell rather the toe of the charge
SAG Mills use a combo of ball milling and autogenous (letting the material crush itself) milling. They do have balls in them, but usually less of a load of them (820% load) than a ball mill (typically around 30% loaded). They also have plates on the inside that lift the load up and tumble it, like a dryer does.
The operating principle difference between a ball mill and a SAG mill is their specific energy consumption. Ball mills use an induced storage mechanism to grind materials. The materials are ground using impact and the friction created between the particles as they rotate in a chamber.
HPGR test results published by Grier (1992) on gold ores from the Mt. Todd project showed significant energy savings for a HPGR/Ball Mill circuit as compared to a SAG/Ball Mill plant. By adding a Polycom highpressure grinding roll, the throughput of existing plants can be increased by as much as 150% while simultaneously reducing the power ...
The final plan was to increase the ball charge in the SAG and ball mill to 10% v / v and 27% v / v, respectively; set the upper limit of the operating power in the ball mill to 5800 kW; use a TC Series crusher (without a power/feed ratecontrolling device, but with a feed bin) to crush pebbles for recirculation back to the SAG mill feed ...

The SAG Mill has a "small" circulation load of oversize given be the 3/8″ trommel screen and the 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ discharge grates. The load of 4″ balls in this SAG is "good" but unmeasured. SAG Ball consumption is "average" at 400 g/t while Ball Mill grinding media (3″ balls) usage in 550 g/t. Yet, you add steel and nothing ...
SAG mill VS Ball Rod Mill (2 replies and 2 comments) N Nikita Gupta 4 years ago I would like to understand why do companies use SAG mills instead of Rod mills for grinding these days? Apart from the alleviation of need for secondary and tertiary crushers, is there any other reason for inclination towards the installation of SAG mills. SmartDog

Single stage SAG Mills are very beneficial in reducing CAPEX for plants with a staged throughput approach. When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. FullerTraylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from through in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.

If a ball mill uses little or no water during grinding, it is a 'dry' mill. If a ball mill uses water during grinding, it is a 'wet' mill. A typical ball mill will have a drum length that is 1 or times the drum diameter. Ball mills with a drum length to diameter ratio greater than are referred to as tube mills.
The SAG mill had a 68% ball charge and the power consumption was 8 kWh/t, which agreed well with the expected value. Problems. In an SAG mill the dimensions of the mill were m × m and the specific gravities of the mineral and that of the balls charged were and, respectively. The mill was rotated at 75% of its ...
SAG mills are often used in conjunction with a ball mill or pebble mill to achieve the desired grind size. SAG mills are primarily used in the mining industry, particularly in the processing of gold, copper, and platinum group metals. On the other hand, AG mills, or Autogenous Grinding mills, use only the ore itself as grinding media.
SAG mill performance is sensitive to mill filling which influences the ... mill speed, ball size, feed size, ball filling, and mill filling (Morrell et al, 1996; Morrell, 2004, Powell et al, 2001
30 mm. Installed grinding power is split equally between the two mills with the SAG mill fitted with a variable speed drive (VSD).

four simulation tasks, consisting of AG, SAG and ball mills are reported. The simulation of AG and SAG mills are completed in less than 8 hours. The ball mill simulation with million spheres is completed in 27 hours. In the near future, these compute times can be halved with the advances in graphic card hardware. KEYWORDS
crushed ore is fed into a SAG/Ball mill circuit with a median size of approximately 12,000 microns. Most SAG Mills are operated in closed circuit with a screen. The screen fi lters undersized ore, normally minus ½ inch, to a ball mill discharge sump. The combined mill discharges are pumped to undergo classifi cation, normally via hydrocyclones.
As there are no SAG mills and no ball mills in the HPGRHPGR circuit there are additional savings in CO 2 from the fact that steel ball consumption is zero. A further 15 megatonnes of CO 2 is therefore estimated to be potentially saved, giving a total saving of megatonnes of CO 2 or % compared to a AG/SAGBall mill circuits.
