Abstract. In mining, the detection of overload conditions in SAG mills is of great relevance to guarantee their operational continuity due to their economic and environmental impact. Various authors have tried to use Machine Learning techniques to identify the relationship between the variables and the underlying overload phenomenon.
The DEM and erosion model SIEM were used to predict wear within the SAG mill. The simulation results of the standard case (the rotation speed is 10.5 rpm; the angle of the lifter face is 14°; the lifter height is 152 mm) are quantitively validated against the corresponding experimental data [6], and the effects of the rotation speed and lifter ...
The SAG mill product flows to two 3.6 m (12′) by 7.3 m (24′) horizontal screens, whose combined oversize (pebbles) is diverted to two Metso MP 800 cone crushers. The crushed product returns to the SAG mill feed, closing the primary grinding circuit. The horizontal screen undersize is pumped to two separate secondary grinding …

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 …
Common convention generally refers to high-aspect ratio mills as SAG mills (with diameter to effective grinding length ratios of 3:1 to 1:1), low-aspect ratio mills (generally, a mill with a significantly longer length than diameter) are also worth noting.
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.

Energy consumption represents a significant operating expense in the mining and minerals industry. Grinding accounts for more than half of the mining sector's total energy usage, where the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) circuits are one of the main components. The implementation of control and automation strategies that can achieve …

Best Practice Comminution means running a SAG mill under optimal conditions, and avoiding overloading, overspeeding and using excessive steel additions, both during the design and operating stages of the plant. When normal limits for these parameters are exceeded in the design stage, production shortfalls will result, and …
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 …
SAG Mill Circuit Example — Gold Processing SAG mill circuit example for gold processing [image: (135-6-3)] AG/SAG Mill. AG/SAG mills are normally used to grind run-off-mine ore or primary crusher product. Wet grinding in an AG/SAG mill is accomplished in a slurry of 50 to 80 percent solids. 2D and 3D simulations of particles in a SAG Mill
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 …

Abstract. The present study investigates the propensity of predicting ore grindability characteristics and varying pulp densities through acoustic measurements on the Magotteaux ball mill. Specifically, the grinding behaviour of two different mill feeds (model quartz and iron ore) together with solid loadings (50, 57, and 67 wt% solids) were ...
2.1 SAG mill model The particles fed to the mill are ground in the milling chamber and subsequently downloaded into the discharge zone, where, according to a classification probability, they are either returned to the milling chamber for further grinding or become part of the mill output stream.
