A SAG mill with a 44′ (13.4m) diameter and a power of 35 MW (47,000 HP) has been designed. [9] Attrition between grinding balls and ore particles causes grinding of finer particles. SAG mills are characterized by their large diameter and short length as compared to ball mills.

Autogenous grinding mill: in this grinding mill, rotating drums throws in large balls of matter in a rapid motion. This causes the ball to break and make smaller particles. SAG mill: SAG is the short form of semi autogenous grinding. The difference between autogenous and SAG mills is, it …

AG or SAG mill, intermediate grinding to a ball mill or tower mill, and fine grinding to a stirred mill such as an Isamill or Stirred Media Detritor (SMD). Of course, various exceptions to these typical values can be found. In fine grinding, a material with an F80 of less than 100 lm is comminuted to a P80 of 7 to 30 lm. (P80s of

For both wet and dry ball mills, the ball mill is charged to approximately 33% with balls (range 30-45%). Pulp (crushed ore and water) fills another 15% of the drum's volume so that the total volume of the drum is 50% charged. Pulp is usually 75% solid (crushed …

Laboratory test result, survey ore sample A Bond ball mill grindability test was performed at the Dawson laboratory on a sample of SAG mill feed collected at the time of the survey.

SAG mills (semi-autogenous milling) is a type of grinding carried out with a small amount of ball charge and with the help of bigger parts crumbling the smaller parts of ore. In addition to being preferred in gold, copper, platinum and silver mines, SAG MILLS are preferred in mines such as lead, zinc, alumina and nickel. The SAG mills are ...

A rod mill uses a similar principle, but the steel or stone balls are replaced by rods to create the grinding action. In an autogenous mill, the ore itself is used in the grinding process. A SAG mill is a combination of a ball mill and an autogenous mill.

The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. …

Optimum ball charge in a SAG mill is a function of many factors. Some are discussed below. For a SAB or SABC circuit. In general, the higher the ball charge the higher the throughput (and fine feed helps as well). Of course, you need a bigger ball mill. But, high ball …

Sag mills in the gold and copper operations would vary from 6%- 15% and are normally grate discharge types in most cases the densities of the slurry in the mill is over 65% and that goes for ball mills also. Off course you have a upper limit or the balls will "float" out. Higher densities allow better grind and increase residence time in the mill.

To help the grinding process, water and steel balls are added to the process which then form the charge in the mill. Ball mill charge contains a significant amount of steel balls and can become extremely heavy. For example, a large 24 foot (7.3 m) diameter ball mill charge typically weighs around 2 million lbs (907 tons).

Rod mill charges usually occupy about 45% of the internal volume of the mill. A closely packed charge of single sized rods will have a porosity of 9.3%. With a mixed charge of small and large diameter rods, the porosity of a static load could be reduced even further. However, close packing of the charge rarely occurs and an operating bed ...

The barrel has larger diameter, shorter length and larger feeding size, which can replace medium crushing, fine crushing and coarse crushing. Production Process. Generally, the amount of steel balls added ...

When the ball mill is running for a period of time, due to the abrasion of grinding balls, its quality will reduce and the current value of ball mill motor will also lower. At this point, we can properly replenish the grinding balls for ball mill, so that the current value can be restored to the value of the rated grinding ball number.

For example, if the SAG mill is limiting throughput, then a fixed-speed ball mill will over-grind the ore to a finer P80 than what the circuit is targetting. The final model output is a set of specific energy predictions for the circuit, mill power draw for each of the mills in the circuit, the throughput and the intermediate and final grind sizes.
