Ball Mills have a higher degree of efficiency than SAG Mills due to their smaller size and have more area for grinding particles, leading to faster grinding. On the other hand, SAG Mills have a larger and deeper drum that provides larger lifting force which increases grinding efficiency. In addition, due to its larger size, SAG Mills consumes ...
The efficiency of the mill to break ore is a function of both the feed size distribution and the relative hardness of the ore. When the feed size of a SAG mill becomes coarser, i.e. α r increases ...

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. AG mills, on the other hand, are smaller and are typically used for ...
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.
Autogenous grinding is favored when the ore is quite competent and a fine grind is required. Semi-autogenous grinding is applied when fine crushing could cause severe problems or when ore is variable in hardness or competency. Figure 2 shows a typical conventional crushing-grinding circuit with three stages of crushing followed by …
purposes, SAG mills utilise a combination of steel balls and coarse ore to achieve the desired discharge particle size [2]. An essential performance metric for a SAG mill is its throughput, which measures the volume of processed ore per hour [3]. SAG mill throughput maximisation stands as a critical priority, given its profound financial outcomes.

The working principles of a SAG mill involve the crushing and grinding process of the ore particles. As the mill rotates, the ore and grinding media are lifted and dropped, causing the ore particles to be crushed and ground. The impact between the ore and grinding media results in the reduction of the ore size.
Product Size: All passing 6 mesh with 80% passing 20 mesh. Net power from pilot plant: 16.5 KWH/ST. Mill, gear and pinion friction multiplier: 1.025. Mill Power required at pinionshaft = (240 x 16.5 x 1.025) ÷ 0.746 = 5440 Hp. Speed reducer efficiency: 98%. 5440 Hp ÷ 0.98 = 5550 HP (required minimum motor output power).
A SAG mill, or semi-autogenous grinding mill, is a type of machine used in mining and mineral processing operations. It uses the crushing and grinding action of rocks to reduce materials such as copper ore into smaller pieces for further processing. Unlike traditional mills that rely on steel balls or other media to break down materials, SAG ...
Considering the continuous increase in production costs and resource optimization, more than a strategic objective has become imperative in the copper mining industry. In the search to improve the efficiency in the use of resources, the present work develops models of a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill using statistical analysis …
The ball charge of a SAG mill is about 9% to 20%.This process takes place inside the large rotating drum of SAG mill which is filled with balls partially. 1 SAG mill, Ø10.37×5.19m 1 overflow discharge ball mill, Ø7.32×10.68m Mongolian Erdenet Mining Corporation's Copper Mine Project (20,000t/d)
The solution: Measure. Control. And profit. BrainWave SAG mill is a unique control package using patented model-based predictive adaptive control technology. It is well known within the mining industry that efective grinding in a SAG mill depends largely on the loading of the mill. A mill con-taining too much material does not allow for ...

Single stage SAG Mills are very beneficial in reducing CAPEX for plants with a staged throughput approach. When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.
SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 …
Working Principle of a SAG Mill. The rock and grinding media are placed in the mill and rotated, causing the grinding media to tumble and crush the rock into smaller pieces. The mill operates in a closed circuit with screens that size the ore and send it back to the mill for further grinding. The product from the mill is then sent to a cyclone ...

Ball mill： Ball mills are the most widely used one. Rod mill： The rod mill has the highest efficiency when the feed size is <30mm and the discharge size is about 3mm with uniform particle size and light overcrushing phenomenon. SAG mill: When the weight of the SAG mill is more than 75%, the output is high and the energy …
The breakage rate function shape of the SAG mill is largely governed by the mill load particle size distribution and mill speed. The feed in the mill contains fractions of ore that serves as the grinding media. Larger ore fractions break the smaller particles but also breakdown themselves and exit the mill as a product.
Due to its strong lifting capacity and excellent grinding performance, the trapezoidal liner is widely used in the SAG mill. The structure of the trapezoidal liner is shown in Fig. 1, the main dimensions are: dip angle (tau), length of the top edge (L) and height (h).Dip angle (tau) determines the trajectory of the mediums in the SAG mill, …
