Types of Grinding Mill Machine for Industrial Material ...

The AG mill (autogenous grinding mill) is a medium-free grinding machine. In order to improve the processing capacity, 2% -3% steel balls can be added (also known as semi autogenous grinding mill or SAG mill). Raw ore or coarse crushed ore from the mine can be directly fed into the AG mill (SAG mill) for grinding.

The Use of Comminution Testwork Results in SAG Mill Design

The relationship between comminution testwork results and the milling circuit that is subsequently selected is not a direct one and frequently involves recourse to databases of past test results. This in itself reflects the lack of a systematic engineering approach in the design process. This paper reviews comminution tests for SAG mill design in an attempt to identify where the essential ...

What Can Go Wrong in Comminution Circuit Design?

• SAG Mill Design Test (Starkey, 2006). There are reasonable correlations between all the tests' data that generally allow any or all of the data to be used to design a SAG mill based grinding circuit for 'typical' ores of a moderate competence range. Issues have arisen where the expected SAG mill specific energy is greater than 10 kWh/t.

The Selection and Design of Mill Liners

mills in the older plants that had many mills in parallel. In fact this is generally still the case in the multi-stream plants, where mill liner design and selection is only tackled on a cost consumables basis. However, the gains to be had through good liner design and selection are just as great as on the large SAG mills.

The 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.

Small-Scale Tests to Characterise Ore Grindibility

The Bond rod mill grindability test is performed similarly to the ball mill test. The feed sample is stage-crushed to ½" (12.5mm) and the test is run under a circulating load. The test can also be closed with various sieve sizes, but for AG/SAG mill analyses the standard 14-mesh (1.18mm) sieve is typically used. The rod mill work index ...

A Method of C alculating Autogenous/ Semi-Autogenous ...

Rod mills are limited in size to 2000 kW because the longest commercial grinding rod available is 6 m long. For this reason rod mills are rarely selected in the present day environment of large AG/SAG mills and large ball mills. However, it is necessary to discuss their operation because a Rod mill product has a similar slope to AG/SAG mills.

Evolution of AG mill shell liner design at Gol-E-Gohar ...

new liner design was proposed. Installing the second liner design in AG mill No. 1 and converting it to SAG mill increased the mill throughput by 18% (from 413 to 489 t/h), while the liner life showed a 7% increase. Measurement of the wear profiles of the second liner set indicate that the maximum wear occurs in the centre of the mill.

Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill liner design and ...

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 impact of shell liners on the …

SAG Mill Optimization using Model Predictive Control

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).

reduced torque, T. Thus, a purchaser who specifies a higher rated speed of the mill will get a lower torque design, usually resulting in a lower motor cost. The paper specifically describes SAG mills, but the equations and principles apply equally to any conventional tumbling mill, such as AG, ball or rod mills.
