SAG Mill Control . SAG mills can be optimized for maximum ore throughput or maximum grinding energy efficiency. In both cases, precise control of the mill filling percentage is critical (Wills and Napier-Munn, 2006).

The worker had been preparing to remove two unsecured liner plates

How grinding mill design changed over the last 30 years

Grinding mills are some of the most important equipment in mines, processing over a few thousand tons of ore every hour. It is not uncommon to see these days that a single line of a grinding circuit consisting of a Semi Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill followed typically by two ball mills generating over USD $1 million of revenues per day.

Difference Between Sag Mill vs Ball Mill

1. SAG mill is the primary tool for grinding. SAG mill is used before the other mills. Ball mill is a secondary, and it is used after the SAG mill. 2. SAG mill breaks the raw material into pieces for the further grinding. Ball mill is used to grind the pieces of raw material into. powder-like structures. 3.

Sag Mill Liner Design

> Mill throughput and efficiency gains are iterative over time > Mill trajectory modelling based on bar heights, angles, spacing and speed is very predictive > Field trials are the acid test - operator, designer and vendor > Optimisation strategy: – Maximise impact grinding AG/SAG mills – Avoid impact on the shell rather the toe of the charge

On dry SAG mills end liners: Physical modeling, DEM-based

Even though this was successful, using primary mills to make feed for ball mills was found to be more efficient. Studies showed that these new technologies could replace cone crushing and rod milling to prepare ball mills feeds. By installing primary SAG mills, considerable saving in capital and operating costs were realized (Wills and Finch ...

Keys to best practice comminution

Many times, the SAG mill discharge passes though a trommel or a horizontal vibrating screen with 12.7 mm slotted openings which allow coarse hard scats to be passed from the SAG mill to the ball mill for further grinding. That this may be right on the edge of being too coarse for efficient ball milling is true, but common use shows

Inching drives – one way to improve mill safety

Ignoring mechanical losses in this drive train, the power transmission at each stage, defined as torque x speed, is constant. The typical mechanical inching drive motor speed is around 1500 to 1800 RPM while the mill inching speed is in the order of 0.1 to 0.15 RPM. Thus, the gear reduction ratio between the inching drive motor and the mill is ...

3-D liner wear profile measurement and analysis in industrial SAG mills

Application of the proposed method in a 9.75 × 4.88 m SAG mill indicated that the liner wear profile along the liner length is non-uniform and the highest wear occurs between 1.25 m and 2.75 m of the mill length. The liners of the first half of the mill from the feed end showed more wear (19.1 g/t) compared to that of the second half (17.1 g/t).
