Control of -SemiAutogenous Grinding(SAG) mill weight is an example of an important process that exhibits many of these aspects. Maintaining the SAG mill weight at the optimum value is critical for achieving maximum grind rate efficiency and mill production (Powell, M.S., van der Westhuizen, A.P., & Mainza, A.N. 2009).
The apparent inefficiency of SAG mills when using Bond analysis is widely understood to be due to the difference in the slopes of the size distributions. In contrast, when the SSE75 was calculated, it showed the SAG mill consumed 20% less energy to produce final product material than the ball mill. Since the aim of a comminution circuit is …

Semi autogenous grinding (SAG) mills, because of their advantages in terms of capital and operating costs, were the natural choice for mines as their primary grinding mill option. Then, in the late 1980s when the price of copper rose quickly from a low of $0.62/lb to a high of $1.62/lb, this substantial increase in price further fuelled the ...
As the SAG mill enters a stable operation state, the grinding system's charging behavior in the PH-SP and SP grinding systems is different. As shown in Fig. 9, the shoulder and the head in the SAG mill containing polyhedral ore particles are slightly higher than that of the SAG mill containing only spherical particles. It means polyhedron ...

The University team had two softwares, Millsoft and FlowMod to tackle the problem. Millsoft is capable of simulating the motion of charge in the mill. FlowMod calculates the slurry flow through the grate and pulp lifters. Based on this data the two models were fine-tuned to fit the Cortez SAG will. In the summer of 2004 a new design of …
2. Background. The SAG grinding process has been modeled by various authors, either generating explanatory models of the grinding process, with the aim of modeling, simulating, and optimizing the individual process, as well as integrating it into aggregate processes, such as the mine-to-mill (M2M) paradigm, a practice that has …

A high aspect SAG mill had an ID of 6.0 m and the length measured 4.0 m along the central line. The mill was charged with ore having a S.G. of 2.65 and the load was 40% of the mill volume. The grinding media steel balls occupied 12.2 % of the mill volume. The mill was rotated at 75% of its critical speed, which was 12.9 rpm. Estimate:1.
Tracking the mill performance showed that the mill power consumption decreased from 9.49 to 6.63 kWh/t (a nearly 30% reduction), P 80 of the mill product decreased from 611 to 355 μm, and the mill fresh feed flow rate increased from 511 to 521 t/h by decreasing the feed ore hardness from 112 min to 58 min based on SAG power …
The SAG mill was installed with a low ball charge, no variable speed and a fine grind was targeted (P80 106 µm). High circulating loads and difficulty achieving the target grind size were experienced. This type of ore should …
A SAG mill has low speed and heavy load, which cause the energy consumption of grinding operation to be very high. It accounts for a large proportion of the electrical consumption across the plant . The rotation speed is an important factor related to the operation and grinding efficiency of the mill. Under the traditional operating …
As ball filling in the SAG mill is quite low, additional grinding media would likely increase the processing capacity of the SAG mill; however, the capacity of the ball mill, with installed power for the required product size of 170 µm, has reached its limit. The power draw for the simulated ball mill (5700 kW) is close to its rated motor ...
