SAG mill control fundamentally means managing the load in the mill by adjusting the feed rate of ore to the mill and/or manipulating the rotational speed of the mill. The best way to measure load is to mount the mill on load cells. The …

The standard method for sizing secondary ball mills (usually the overflow type) in AG/SAG circuits follows published mill supplier information with aspect ratios in the range 1:1.5 to 1:2.0, depending upon product sizing and pulp flow, i.e., the highest expected circulating loads (Morrell, 2001). The applied net power, calculated from testwork

The SAG mill has a mill diameter of 24 ft (7.3 m) and an effective grinding length of 18.5 ft and a structural charge mass of 315 t, Condor Gold said. The structural design ball charge is 11% with a structural design load volume of 35%. Specific gravity of the material is 2.55.

Mineral processing typically involves the crushing and grinding of hard rock ore. Crushed ore is introduced to semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills, also known as primary mills, where grinding media is released like hammers to assist in the ore cracking / grinding process.

to s ingle s ta ge SAG mills, with ball addition levels of between 7 % a nd 8%, and a power consumption of. "about 24 kWh/ton.". The addition of steel to the mills resulted in operatio nal ...

Control of -SemiAutogenous Grinding(SAG) mill weight is an example of an important process that exhibits many of these aspects. Maintaining the SAG mill weight at the optimum value is critical for achieving maximum grind rate efficiency and mill production (Powell, M.S., van der Westhuizen, A.P., & Mainza, A.N. 2009).

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

SAG mill is usually used to grind large pieces into small pieces, especially for the pre-processing of grinding circuits, thus also known as primary stage grinding machine. Based on the high throughput and coarse grind, AG mills produce coarse grinds often classify mill discharge with screens and trommel.

Outotec has experience of over 8,000 grinding mills globally, including manufacturing and delivering the largest SAG/AG mills in the world. Reduce energy costs. 30% energy savings by replacing old ball mills with a Vertimill®. Customer case Increase uptime.

Grinding Circuit Modelling Documentation. This documentation describes the operating and underlying mathematics of the SAGMILLING.COM grinding circuit modelling program. It is intended to be used by the model users who want to operate and understand the functioning of grinding models. Quick start video to get familiar with the operation of the ...

in a single stage SAG mill. Cyclones work best when the cyclone feed size is limited to 5 mm top size, as noted above when referring to screen selection. The product size is also a function of liberation and downstream requirements. SAG Mill ore hardness kWh/t: Energy required to grind an ore from F80 of 152 mm to T80 of 1.7 mm.

Gearless mill drive (GMD) technology has further expanded the use of large SAG milling allowing Outotec to produce the world's largest SAG mill of 42' in diameter drawing power at 28 MW. Today, Outotec is the world leading supplier of gearless SAG mills operating globally.

A data set of mill operating data is collected from published information and compared to predictions made by two published mill power draw models for SAG mills (Austin's SAG model and Morrell's C-model). A third model (Hogg and Fuerstenau) is fit to each survey and the principal fitting parameter is tabulated. Power measurement

AG/SAG Mill Liners. We have supplied rubber pulp lifters for SAG mills up to 40 ft in diameter. We are pioneers in the design of both radial and curved pulp lifters, also design and manufacture Rubber / PolyStl™ grates and discharge systems.

Where x = the load in the mill expressed as measured % by volume and y = kg/h of feed. This information is based on observed throughput reductions caused by loading the 3-ft. SAG mill to over 26% by volume. Using this information, the detriment to throughput, expressed as a % of maximum throughput can be calculated. The results are shown in ...

SAG mills are located at the beginning of the comminution circuits, after a primary crushing stage. Although there are small SAG mills, their size usually ranges from 9.8 × 4.3 to 12.8 × 7.6 m, with a nominal energy demand of 8.2 and 26 MW, respectively, which make

SAG mill control fundamentally means managing the load in the mill by adjusting the feed rate of ore to the mill and/or manipulating the rotational speed of the mill. The best way to measure load is to mount the mill on load cells. The load cells are calibrated to measure the total weight of water, grinding media (balls) and ore in the mill ...

Since the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and Autogenous Mill (AG Mill) under the Fuller-Traylor brand. Semi-autogenous grinding uses a minimal ball charge in the range of 6-15% while autogenous grinding uses ore only. SAG and AG Mills operate by lifting ore/grinding media and dropping it on ...
