The design of large mills has become increasingly more complicated as the size has increased and there is little doubt that without sophisticated design procedures such as the use of the Finite Element method the required factors of safety would make large mills prohibitively expensive. In the past the design of small mills, u…
In this case, the overall circuit throughput was clearly limited by the secondary stage capacity, as the SAG mill total load was smaller than the targeted 28% figure. Due to the finer (blended) SAG mill fresh feed, Table 4 shows a smaller circulating load in the primary circuit, i.e., 15%, compared to 19% in the Base Case.

The instrumentation installed on a SAG mill is integral to control. For example, the mill load and noise sensors are instruments that provide essential information for an optimized SAG mill operation. Insufficient understanding of the ore characteristics and feed composition can result in an ineffective SAG mill operation.
— "Several new large copper and gold concentrators have been built and commissioned around the world in the past five to eight years. The success of the ramp-up from these very large concentrators has varied. CITIC SMCC Process Technology was engaged to assist some of these mines by gaining a better understanding of the factors …
— Adding another SAG mill to the two existing ones at the mill. A SAG or semi-autogenous mill uses steel ball and the ore itself to break up the rock into fine particles in order to separate the copper and gold from all the non-valuable constituents of the ore, or gangue. Before 2019, the mill could operate at 250 ktpd.
circuit by further crushing 35% of SAG mill fresh feed. Such figures would represent yearly additions of 8.3 kt in copper and 250 kg in gold productions.
A SAG mill is used to grind and crush large pieces of rock into smaller pieces of rock, gravel, or dust. It is commonly used in the mining industry. Q2. How does a SAG mill work? A SAG mill uses a combination of impact and attrition to grind the material. The grinding media in a SAG mill are larger than in a ball mill, and there are fewer of ...
— If the critical size is above 13 mm, it will build up in the primary mill circuit filling the primary mill with ore too fine to be effective as grinding media but too coarse to …
SAG Mill Dimensions: The SAG mill was designed for monzonite ore, with allowance in the mine schedule for reduced throughput when treating the harder volcanics. The latter forms -8% of the orebody and have the potential to reduce7 throughput by up to 30% if treated by themselves, while maintaining the same grinding circuit product size. Speed ...

some mining company adopt SAG mill grinding copper ore. the feeding size is less than 250mm, the discharged product size is less than 12.5mm. At first stage, they load diameter 125mm, 100mm and 75mm balls totally 100t, the capacity is only 220t/h.
— In this example the SAGDesign (SDT) ore hardness is 10 kWh/t (to grind the ore from F 80 152 mm to T 80 1.7 mm) and the SAG ground Bond Ball Mill Work Index is 15 kWh/t. Table 2 shows alternate equipment selections that will produce 471 t/h, (10,400 t/d and 3.8 million tonnes per annum) at 92% availability.

The filling rate of steel ball in the shell of the semi-autogenous mill is a main item to distinguish SAG mill and autogenous mill. In order to eliminate the impact of the accumulation of rock, the autogenous mill allows to add about 3% of the ball (Φ80 ~ Φ120), SAG mill steel ball filling is generally 8% ~ 12%, even up to 15%.

In an 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 installed power in the primary mill is generally much greater than in conventional circuits. Since the semiautogenous or autogenous mill is dependent at least in part, if not entirely, on the ore to grind itself, a small change in ore grinding characteristics can produce a relatively large change in the grinding capacity of the mill.
