The SAG grindability index test

Tracking the mill performance showed that the mill power consumption decreased from 9.49 to 6.63 kWh/t (a nearly 30% reduction), P 80 of the mill product decreased from 611 to 355 μm, and the mill fresh feed flow rate increased from 511 to 521 t/h by decreasing the feed ore hardness from 112 min to 58 min based on SAG power …

Grinding Circuit

SAG mill product feeds two parallel ball mills of 6.6 m×11.1 m (internal diameter×length), each with a 9.7 MW twin pinion drive. The ball mills are operated at a ball charge volume of 30–32% and 78.5% critical speed. The SAG mill trommel undersize is combined with the ball mills' discharge and pumped to two parallel packs (clusters) of ...

China Received February 21, 2020 Revised November 8, 2020 Accepted January 15, 2021 Abstract—The authors analyze the influence of the semi-autogenous (SAG) mill parameters on the mill

Optimal Speed Control for a Semi-Autogenous Mill Based …

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 . The rotation speed is an important factor related to the operation and grinding efficiency of the mill. Under the traditional operating …

Autogenous AG & SAG Mills for Sale

5 to 50 TPH SAG Mill. Starting as small as 13 feet (4 m) in diameter on 330 HP and as large as 24′ (14.5 m) in diameter on 3,300 HP, the 911MPE Semi & Fully Autogenous Mills tumble crushed ore without iron or steel grinding media. They are used when the crushed ore pieces are hard enough to perform all the grinding.

Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous Mills

The SAG mill had a 6–8% ball charge and the power consumption was 8 kWh/t, which agreed well with the expected value. 9.6. Problems. 9.1. In an SAG mill the dimensions of the mill were 9.75 m × 3.5 m and the specific gravities of the mineral and that of the balls charged were 4.1 and 7.9, respectively.

Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill liner design and …

Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter. These

MOLYKOTE® P-74 Paste | SAG mill increases productivity, …

A clear choice for demanding environments. After seeing the results of the testing, Relining Minerals began recommending MOLYKOTE ® P-74 Assembly Paste as its preferred specialty lubricant for mill liner applications. The company found that the paste kept bolt elongation in the optimal range with minimal tension loss, resulting in reduced bolt …

What's the Difference Between SAG Mill and Ball 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. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
