In SAG mills, the rock grinding media is complemented with a small proportion (3–20% of mill volume) of steel balls (with diameter of ∼120–150 mm). The steel ball media in a SAG mill changes the nature of the mill performance considerably compared to an AG mill.
There is significant case study published regarding energy savings and cost efficiencies of the comminution process due to HPGR. Energy savings ranging …
was a single stage SAG mill and suffered from overgrinding of the high specific gravity magnetite. The new Windimurra project with a predominantly unweathered hard ore includes a High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) and coarse cobbing at 500 microns ahead of a regrind ball mill.
The ball mill is the fine grinding machine connect the SAG or AG mill and flotation machine. Ball mills produce fine particles with a uniform size for flotation, its grinding medias commonly are steel ball. The ball mill rolls grinding media together with the ore, as the ore grinds, these balls initially 5-10 cm in diameter but gradually wear out.

and Closed Circuit AG/SAG Mills S Morrell1 ABSTRACT The aspect ratio (mill diameter/mill length) of autogenous and semi autogenous mills varies widely and can be as high as three or as low as 0.5. The literature on the subject of what effect aspect ratio has on grinding mill performance or energy efficiency is almost non-existent.

Therefore, Morrell's method is not applicable for batch grinding and may not extend beyond conventional SAG/ball mill grinding applications. Conclusion Extensive comminution test work was carried out on eighteen drill core samples obtained from a magnetite orebody in order to assess the grinding behaviour of magnetic and non- magnetic components.
20' EGL SAG mill, a Raptor 900 pebble crusher and two 24' x 39'6" ball mills. Each mill is equipped with a 2 x 8500HP dual pinion drive system. The plant was designed to process 1585 h mtpof SAG feed. From startup, the mill struggled to meet the required production rates. Over time, a major initiative that involved
The ball mills, the second stage grinding equipment, are 7.9m in diameter and 13.6m long, each with two 7800 kW motors. 52 magnetic separators are used in each of the processing lines. Two concentrate thickeners, each 45m in diameter and four tails thickeners each 90m in diameter. Four dewatering buildings, each containing seven press filters.

semi -autogenous (SAG) mill. The higher presence of magnetite in the feed ore drived the decision to stop to use the magnet and the pebble crusher. The SAG mill (7.925 m . diam. x 3.734 m . long / 3,650 KW ) operates together with a ball mill 5.486 m diam. x 8.839 m long / 4,474 KW ) to reduce the ore to about 80% passing 60 µm to 85 µm,

I am a new in an iron ore plant were we are with magnetite ore using two Aerofall Mills but it's very hard for us to control the the mill feed rate, and we also have a problem with the Ball charge; we've tried different charges but it's still a problem; I ...
Tenova TAKRAF built the SAG mill on order from Engineering, the original plant engineering contractor. The 8.5-m-diameter mill handles 380 t/h, has an effective grinding length of 3.678 m and is powered by a 6.5-MW drive. The ball mill is a 15.5- x 23-ft, 3,300-hp unit that was refurbished for service at Iron Mountain.
Yes, there is no ball mills in that grinding circuit. The p80 to the SAG mill was at about 6" while its product (flotation feed) was at 40 microns. So the answer to your question is yes, a SAG mill can be installed in an operation milling 2,000 tpd and it can be operated efficiently if the operators have the knowledge to operate it well.

The JKMRC has been studying and modelling industrial AG and SAG mills for over 40 years, but the ability to simulate the effects of blending hard and soft components on mill performance remains quite limited.In an effort to quantify these effects for modelling purposes, a series of laboratory, pilot scale and full scale tests, using multi-component feeds were …
We were recently asked by a magnetite processor to look at changing an AG mill to a SAG configuration for throughput improvement. We were limited by bearing and structural design to only have a max of 5% ball charge. Mill design should give owners best flexibility - mills also have a second life.
Efficiency of the comminution operations is traditionally assessed based on operating cost and energy consumption. Traditionally, the lowest operating cost was achieved by multi stage fully autogenous grinding due to elimination of steel grinding media costs which may represent up to 50 % of the grinding cost. Significant reduction of the cost associated with grinding was …
