In general AG and SAG mill researchers have hypothesized that at least two breakage mechanisms are active in a SAG mill – a rounding of particles producing fine progeny and more vigorous breakage producing angular progeny. The mathematical model in common use (Leung et al., 1987; Morrell and Morrison, 1996) provides a continuum …
The SAG mill is unusual, with a low aspect ratio similar to the ball mills. The ball mills currently produce a final grind size of P 80 of 75 microns (µm). Pustynnoye Gold Mine plans to increase the throughput from 2.1 to 2.5 Mt/a and possibly more in future expansions. In order to deliver this capacity increase, management initiated a drill ...

(EGL) SAG mill driven by a 24,000 kW gearless drive. The SAG mill feeds two FLSmidth 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]).
SAG mills use a combination of steel balls and rock particles as grinding media, while AG mills use only the ore itself. Both types of mills are used for grinding ore in mineral processing operations, but SAG mills are larger in size and can grind larger quantities of ore. AG mills, on the other hand, are smaller and are typically used for ...

Semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are a broadly used class of machine for large scale grinding of rocks in mineral processing. Although geometrically simple they display a broad range of dynamics with complex interactions that make their selection, design, operation and scale-up difficult. The most commonly used model are simplified process …
This review serves to highlight problems of mill liner designs and how they can be tackled in a logical and often inexpensive manner by considering charge trajectories and liner spacing criteria, in conjunction with liner wear monitoring. Dramatic shortcomings of mill liner designs, especially of large SAG mills, such as rapid failure and even mill shell damage …

The behavior of the SAG mill circuit is multivariable i.e. exhibit complex interactions and nonlinear behavior between the process variables. It is also dynamic i.e. delay times between variables within the process need to be considered before control actions are executed. Given these challenges, the objectives for acceptable SAG mill operation ...
A total of 120 t of Cristalino ore was prepared and sent to CIMM, where it was crushed and screened prior to grinding tests.

AUTOGENOUS (AG), SEMI-AUTOGENOUS (SAG) AND BALL MILLS . S.Morrell . Citic SMCC Process Technology Pty Ltd . PO Box 337, Indooroopilly Centre . Queensland 4068 . Australia . steve.morrell@citic-hic . The slurry level in AG/SAG and ball mills has an influence on their power draw, which in some instances can be profound.
The concept of mine-to-mill was introduced in the 1990's to improve the performance and throughput of SAG mills by up to 20%, through integration with the mining process, specifically blast design (Mine to mill conference, 1998; Morrell & Valery, 2001; Lam, Jankovic, Valery & Kanchibotla, 2001).
new AG/SAG mill model has been developed which incorporates the capability to respond to changes in most design and operational variables. The model can be used as a stand-alone design tool, to scale-up from pilot data and to optimise existing circuits. It predicts throughput, power draw and product size distribution as well as
I-221 EFFECT OF SAG MILL FILLING AND SPEED In this work, the South Deep SAG mill was stabilised at a range of fillings varying between 20% and 45% of total mill volume.
The Morrell C-model is generally regarded as one of the most accurate tumbling mill power-draw models and is ideally suited for this application of estimating fill levels of the SAG mill in real time.

* 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 ...
pi is the product flow rate from the mill and pi* is the product flow rate from the grinding chamber (fictitious flow). For each size class i, the mill chamber feed flow rate, fi* (t/h), is obtained by adding the mill feed flow rate, fi (t/h), to the internal recirculation flow rate (Fig. 2.): ** f = f +c p (12) ii ii
Single-stage SAG mills can be very beneficial in reducing capital costs for plants with a staged throughput approach, according to FLSmidth, which markets the Fuller-Traylor line of SAG mills that range from 14- to 40-feet (ft) in diameter. When future tonnage needs to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball mills to boost capacity.
SAG Mill process control classically maintains the SAG mill volumetric filling within a set operating range. Typically a SAG mill weight measurement, by either bearing pressure transducers or load cells, is used as an inferred measurement of volumetric filling. To maintain volumetric filling within a set operating range the SAG weight setpoint use for …
The product from the SAG mill is further reduced in size using pebble crushers and ball mills. Hence, typical gold or copper ore requires between 2.0 and 7.5 kWh per ton of energy to reduce the particle size. Considering a typical mining operation processes 10,000 to 100,000 tons per day the energy expenditure in grinding is 50 …
