DetailsThe discharge grates of the SAG mill were identified as a key component in the SABC circuit, and their design is a crucial factor in the mill's performance [17,18,19,20,21]. The initial design of the grate section caused a serious accumulation of pebbles within the SAG mill which contributed to a decreased grinding efficiency. The …

The SAG grinding process has been modeled by various authors, either generating explanatory models of the grinding process, with the aim of modeling, simulating, and optimizing the individual process, as well as integrating it into aggregate processes, such as the mine-to-mill (M2M) paradigm, a practice that has …
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, …

Third, to use the grinding pulse as a diagnostic tool for SAG mill operation. Milestones • Test the IGB in a simulated impact
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.

On SAG mill 1, using a lambda value of 0.5, the obtained accuracy was 77.3% while increasing the lambda to 1.5 led to an increase in accuracy of 93.1%. Similar results were found on the second SAG mill.

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 …

It explains the challenges and solutions for designing and operating such a large mill, and how it delivers high efficiency and low maintenance costs.
Detailsenter a ball mill. Indeed, if a SAG mill discharge screen or trommel has 12.7 mm square openings, the top size of material moving forward to the ball mill will be 12 mm and the P 80 of the SAG mill discharge will be in the order of 4 to 6 mm, based on a normal relationship of screen opening to product size. According to Bond's ball mill
DetailsSAG mills mimic the same shortcoming. It follows that in order to obtain the specifi c energy (SE) to achieve a certain transfer size, based on the 80 per cent passing value, an ineffi ciency factor must be applied to the SE of single stage ball mills, rod mills or AG/SAG mills when calculating power according to the Bond Third Theory method.
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 …
