Unfortunately I have a program for SAG mills and grinding circuits. Computational testing showed that: - Capacity of SAG Mills can increase to 10000 t/h. - The number of ball mills should be 2-4. - The capacity of the SAG mill with pre-crushing by 20-30% more than the SAG mill with the crashing critical size.
DetailsAbstract. Towards the development of an improved and more efficient online monitoring system in an industrial AG/SAG grinding mill, the present study employs a laboratory-based AG/SAG mill and acoustic sensor to investigate the acoustic characteristics of different mill operating conditions. Specifically, mill operating conditions …

Detailsreliable drive system for SAG mills. Early SAG mills had a diameter of about 32', later increasing to 34, 36, 38 and 40'. At the same time the mill volume also increased. Typically a SAG mill has a much larger diameter compared to its length. Yet the SAG mill of Newmont's Yanacocha mine in Peru is a single stage mill (no ball mill after ...
DetailsTozlu and Fresko (2015) estimated that the total installed motor capacity of AG/SAG mills in hard rock mining in 2015 was 5.8 million kW (see Fig. 1).Given that mining industry activity has been relatively slow since then, additional sales of AG/SAG mill capacity from then until now (2021) would possibly be no more than 0.5 million kW.
DetailsSAG mills contain balls of up to 150mm in diameter that occupy 5%-18% of mill chamber volume. Ball mills, conversely, contain grinding media up to 50mm in diameter, occupying between 25% - 40% of mill chamber volume. To effectively reduce material size, each type of mill needs to generate different charge load actions, or the type of motion ...
DetailsThe SAG mill's steel liners were failing to meet the required service life. To remedy the problem, the supplier had added more material to the liner design. But this created its own challenges, reducing the effective grinding volume and adding weight to the mill that was pushing bearing pressures dangerously close to limitations. Peening liners.
Details(EGL) SAG mill driven by a 24,000 kW gearless drive. The SAG mill feeds two FL ball mills each 26 ft. in diameter × 40 ft. long (EGL), each driven by a 16,400 kW drive. The SAG mill is one of the largest volumetric capacity SAG mills in the world and represented the first 40 ft. SAG mill in Peru (Garcia & Villanueva, 2013 [1]).
DetailsIn a large-scale operation, feed ores are introduced into the AG/SAG mill in a continuous mode at a given flow rate to replace the discharging slurry. Nonetheless, the variations in the feed characteristics, typically hardness and size distribution, could cause sudden disruption to the mill operation. This would be challenging to detect in practice, …
Details1. SAG mill is the primary tool for grinding. SAG mill is used before the other mills. Ball mill is a secondary, and it is used after the SAG mill. 2. SAG mill breaks the raw material into pieces for the further grinding. Ball mill is used to grind the pieces of raw material into. powder-like structures. 3.
DetailsThis paper presents the technical details of the world's first 42 foot diameter 28 MW gearless SAG mill, installed at the Conga copper-gold project in Peru. It explains the challenges and solutions for designing and operating such a large mill, and how it delivers high efficiency and low maintenance costs.
Details7.0 m length (190) single SAG mill equipped with a 20 MW electric motor. The SAG mill product flows to two 3.6 m (120) by 7.3 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 …
DetailsBall mill: When the particle size of the product is less than 0.5mm, the grinding effect of the ball mill is greater than that of a rod mill of the same specification. SAG mill: The SAG mill has a wide range of feeding particle sizes and can process larger minerals, but at the same time, its output particle size is relatively larger.
Details* SAG mills are the machines with the highest reduction rate which performs crushing, grinding and washing together. It offers a much higher reduction ratio than 3-stage crushing and screening system. * Feeding material in the dimension of 200-300 mm, is reduced to d100: 2 mm and below. This capability increases the efficiency of the ball mill ...
DetailsThe SAG mill in this example has an internal diameter of 11.93 m; a belly length inside liners of 6.09 m; cone angles of 15 degrees and a trunnion diameter of 2.80 m. The heights in meters from the base of the trunnion-ring to the load surface were recorded for a pattern of 13 points, as shown in Fig. 11:
DetailsThese SAG milling plants (Fig. 1) are designed with few pieces of equipment having a large processing capacity, replacing advantageously a large battery of traditional crushers and rod and ball mills.These characteristics make SAG mills an excellent example of critical equipments whose continuous and stable operation is essential to guarantee …
DetailsA 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 …

DetailsSemi-autogenous mills in general are fed from a coarse ore stockpile. Providing a uniform feed from the stockpile is essential to maintain a stable performance of the SAG mill and consequently downstream equipment. However, due to size segregation in stockpiles, the particle size from stockpile draw points can vary. The size distribution of feed to the SAG …
DetailsThe idea and intention of applying this technology to SAG mills is not new. There have, no doubt, been many conversations which lamented the fact that the mysteries inside a SAG mill could not be directly observed via a camera, given the limiting assumption that such a camera could not survive the environment while providing a live video feed.
