Diverting of the uncrushed pebbles to the SAG mill results in the overshoots of the SAG load target, constraining the SAG mill operation resulting in decreased grinding efficiency and throughput. By the time the controllers adjust for the upset, the high-level condition in the pebble crusher feed bin would clear, and the SAG mill would unload.
pebble crusher. AG and SAG mills are very efficient at making angular particles round. Crushers are very efficient at making round particles angular. So there is a potential synergy from passing hard, rounded pebbles from a AG or SAG mill to a dedicated pebble crusher. The crusher product returns to the AG/SAG mill for further grinding.

— SAG mill screen deckThe SAG Mill discharge stream is frequently classified with a screen deck. The screen deck scalps the oversize material, which in turn is routed to the pebble crusher and back to the SAG mill feed. A new approach has been developed to magnetically collect ferrous grinding media from the screen oversize.
