The ROM SAG mill circuit—a brief description The typical ROM SAG mill circuit is depicted in Figure 1. The circuit is usually closed with either a screen or, more commonly, a cyclone for product size classification. The focus of control can be divided into two parts, viz. the mill and the cyclone. The importance of cyclone performance should ...

And the product of the large AG/SAG grinding is either a finished size ready of processing, or an immediate size for further grinding in a ball mill, pebble mill, VERTIMILL® or a stirred media detritor (SMD). Grinding circuit design AG/SAG mills are normally used to grind run-offmine ore or primary crusher product. Feed size to the mill is ...

crushed ore is fed into a SAG/Ball mill circuit with a median size of approximately 12,000 microns. Most SAG Mills are operated in closed circuit with a screen. The screen fi lters undersized ore, normally minus ½ inch, to a ball mill discharge sump. The combined mill discharg-es are pumped to undergo classifi cation, normally via hydrocyclones.
In this circuit, two SAG mills have the same throughput, feed rate and the recycling load. Below all the simulation results are from SAG mill 1. The first graph shows that the throughput of the SAG mills is affected by the pebble crusher settings. A cone crusher with settings like CSS = 28 [mm] and speed = 280 [rpm] gives coarser product …
THE FUTURE OF SAG MILLS SAG mills are well established in the mining industry with several possible flowsheets featuring ... a SAG-ball mill circuit can consume the same weight in steel used to construct the entire milling circuit structure. Improving the wear life of mill liners is one way to tackle indirect energy consumption; it also ...

Mill Sizing: After laboratory and pilot plant testing confirm the feasibility of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding, it can be used to establish the exact grinding circuit and mill size.In the pilot plant tests, the tare power of the pilot plant mills should be determined before and after each test run. The tare power should be for the empty mill.
The purpose of the primary crusher is to reduce the ROM ore to a size amenable for feeding the secondary crusher or the SAG mill grinding circuit. The ratio of reduction through a primary crusher can be up to about 8:1. Feed: ROM up to 1.5 m; Product: -300mm (for transport) to -200mm (for SAG mill) Feed Rate: 160 to 13,000 tph
The test and study work showed that a single line 42 ft SAG mill circuit gave the most favorable project economics in comparison to an equivalently powered single line 40 ft SAG mill circuit. This paper does not address the process design or the project economics, but instead focuses on the key aspects of the ...
A typical SAG-HPGR-Ball mill circuit suggested by Patzelt et al. [6] is shown in Figure 9.6, where the pebbles from the SAG mill are crushed in the high-pressure grinding rolls. It is a general observation that SAG mills are helpful for grinding where wide variations in the grindability of ores are experienced.
A SAG mill has the advantages of high operation rate, large output, and large crushing ratio, which makes SAG mills have the characteristics of short process time, low management cost, and …
The diagram is a generalized curve for AG and SAG milling where we can see the mill is more efficient at breaking the 8 mm and 200 mm sized particle. There is a noticeable dip …
Indeed, in four to seven weeks of operation, a SAG-ball mill circuit can consume the same weight in steel used to construct the entire milling circuit structure. Improving the wear life of mill liners is one way to tackle indirect energy consumption; it also improves mill productivity as downtime for liner replacement is reduced. ...
John Starkey, P. Eng. has worked in SAG mill hardness testing since 1964 where he worked as pilot plant engineer for A. MacPherson's projects. He invented the SPI and SAGDesign tests.

index by using values from an operating circuit. Its value is only valid at the stated SAG product size. • Transfer size (T80) is the term used to describe the SAG mill product that is sent to the ball mill. For peak performance and balancing the power available in the SAG mill and ball mill, the transfer size must be measured and controlled.
pressure on mill sizing has resulted in non-flexibility in new SAG mill circuit designs. In order to defend the mill size selected, the owner's engineers need to be able to quantify the loss in productivity that will occur if the SAG mill is downsized. Power based methods allow this calculation to be executed rapidly with good accuracy.
The case of semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill circuit control discussed in this paper provides a good example of an application in which an open source simulation platform can be required as models for this unit op- eration in proprietary codes are generally rudimentary.
