Ball mill: When the particle size of the product is less than 0.5mm, the grinding effect of the ball mill is greater than that of a rod mill of the same specification. SAG mill: The SAG mill has a wide range of feeding particle sizes and can process larger minerals, but at the same time, its output particle size is relatively larger.

The slurry transportation in AG/SAG mills is a two-stage process consisting of flow through the grate and the discharge of slurry by pulp lifters into the discharge trunnion. The grate-only discharge condition provides the ideal relation between slurry hold-up and flowrate. By attaching pulp lifters to the grate, the ideal hold-up–flowrate ...
In a SAG mill the dimensions of the mill were 9.75. m × 3.5 m and the specific gravities of the mineral and that of the balls charged were 4.1 and 7.9 respectively.. The mill was rotated at 75% of its critical speed when 8 % of the mill volume was charged with grinding balls.Estimate:1. The mill power drawn, 2. The maximum mill filling possible.
Gearless Drives for semiautogenous grinding (SAG) and ball mills with diameters in the range of 28–44 feet and power in the range of 8–20 MW are being applied in modern ore concentrators and even bigger developments are already in course (Errath et al., 2003), (Bergholz and Schreder, 2003). High efficiency, high reliability and high …
A total of 120 t of Cristalino ore was prepared and sent to CIMM, where it was crushed and screened prior to grinding tests. The processing equipment included a 1.83 m (8′) diameter by 0.61 m (2′) …
The ball charge is a function of the bulk fraction of the SAG mill volume (Jb) occupied by balls; the ore retained in the mill is the result of the volumetric filling which depends on the ore size distribution (specially the % +6″ and the % −6″ +1″), on the rotational speed (N/Nc) and on the solid concentration by weight fraction inside ...

SAG mills contain balls of up to 150mm in diameter that occupy 5%-18% of mill chamber volume. Ball mills, conversely, contain grinding media up to 50mm in diameter, occupying between 25% - 40% of mill chamber volume. ... Minerals has more than 40 years of experience in designing and manufacturing mill lining systems.
The ball motion in the mill was simulated via discrete element method (DEM). Our results show that steel balls achieved faster breakage of clinker into finer particles than alumina balls, which was explained by the higher total–mean energy dissipation rates of the steel balls. The PSD became finer as smaller balls were used.
The crushing-ball milling circuit specific energy was estimated on the basis of the Bond equation and the relevant Bond work indices (Table 4), with the crushing energy given from the SAG/AG F80 to a nominal product with P80 of 8.0 mm being added to the ball mill energy from F80 of 8.0 mm to the actual P80 of the pilot test, given either by the ...

Autogenous grinding (AG) and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills use the material to be ground as the grinding media. Autogenous grinding mills use larger rocks to impact and break smaller rocks as the mill rotates. Semi-autogenous mills are basically the same autogenous mills, but with the addition of balls, similar to those in ball mills.
SAG and ball mills are generally accepted as the largest power consumers in a mining and mineral processing operation and can be 80% of total electrical energy consumed at a specific power consumption of around 20kWh/ton. Their function is to effect size reduction of rock in order to liberate the target metal compound or compounds trapped in
The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the …
Among the different grinding processes, Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) mills are widely used for ore size reduction. The main difference between these two mills is the use of steel balls as grinding media, typically in the order of 6–12% in volume (Sbarbaro et al., 2005), in the SAG mills. With the addition of grinding …

Where HPGR technology has replaced traditional methods of crushing and grinding (e.g. SAG or ball mills), it has: Provided excellent throughput capacity and energy efficiency. Decreased energy consumption by up to 40%. Substantially reduced water consumption. Reduced recirculation and wear within crushing and grinding circuits.
additional crushing stages for increasing the throughput of existing SAG mill circuits [5]. In the case of such modification, the SAG mill product is coarser compared with the corresponding relatively coarse feed size distribution, thus resulting in a higher energy requirement for ball milling in SAB–Semi-autogenous ball mill circuits.

SAG mills and AG mills have different definitions and operate differently. 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.
SAG mills and AG mills are both commonly used in mineral processing operations, but they operate in different ways and have unique characteristics. In this section, we'll …
