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. Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.

Semi-autogenous Outotec SAG mills, as they are often called, can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening. Often used in grinding at modern mineral processing plants, SAG mills reduce the material directly to the desired final size or prepare it for the following grinding stages.

The SPI® test is carried out in a standardised mill under set conditions, with the output being the time to reach a given size, which can be converted to a SAG mill specific energy input (in kWh/t). The SPI® index provides a profile of the hardness of the ore type and can be used for geometallurgical models. The data can be used for the ...

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. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...

SAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., the impact of shell liners on the …

One process variation that has become increasingly established in recent years is the combination of AG or SAG mill with a ball mill and a downstream agitated ball mill (Fig. 4). The second grinding circuit is effective especially in flotation plants to obtain the finenesses required for the flotation stages, which often necessitate regrinding ...

As the new installed SAG mill, the first load of gridning media is like as 80mm, 100mm and 125mm, according to the feeding size and discharged size and capacity, the size of grinding ball could be adjusted. During the operation, just need to adding the big size grinding balls, such as 125mm. The material of the SAG mill grinding media. the SAG ...

Mineral processing typically involves the crushing and grinding of hard rock ore. Crushed ore is introduced to semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills, also known as primary mills, where grinding media is released like hammers to assist in the ore cracking / grinding process. The mix of media and ore rises and falls in the mill like clothes in a ...

SAG mill control fundamentally means managing the load in the mill by adjusting the feed rate of ore to the mill and/or manipulating the rotational speed of the mill. The best way to measure load is to mount the mill on load cells. The load cells are calibrated to measure the total weight of water, grinding media (balls) and ore in the mill ...

Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) occurs in tumbling mills which use both large ore particles and steel balls for grinding. Grinding is the most energy intensive mineral processing unit operation and ...

If the SAG mill is not intended to be the rate-limiting step in a process plant, then it is best to adjust the SAG load (and power) to hold a constant …

Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) milling has seen increased use in recent years, especially in large mineral processing operations. These mills typically have a large diameter relative to their length, typically in the ratio or 2 or 2.5 to 1. AG mills employ ore as the grinding media.

This paper describes the adopted approach for increasing the capacity of an existing industrial grinding circuit by adapting the respective configuration to process the ore from a new mine. Accordingly, due to Sossego mine exhaustion, Vale S. A. decided to use the existing industrial facilities and infrastructure for processing the Cristalino ore deposit located in Para …

Mineral processing operations present many challenges for automatic process control due to variations in unmeasured ore properties, material transport delays, and nonlinear response characteristics. Control of -SemiAutogenous Grinding(SAG) mill weight is an example of an important process that exhibits many of these aspects.
