The critical speed of ball mill is given by, where R = radius of ball mill; r = radius of ball. For R = 1000 mm and r = 50 mm, n c = 30.7 rpm. But the mill is operated at a speed of 15 rpm. Therefore, the mill is operated at 100 x 15/30.7 = 48.86 % of critical speed. If 100 mm dia balls are replaced by 50 mm dia balls, and the other conditions ...

By combining with SAG discharge and screening on the SAG discharge screens, top size control to the ball-mill circuit feed is maintained while still unloading the SAG circuit (Mosher et al, 2006). A variant of this method is to direct pebble-crushing circuit product to the ball-mill sump for secondary milling: while convenient, this has the disadvantage of not …
The SAG Mill is a machine added by Ender IO.It uses Micro Infinity (µI) to grind (or mill) items into their crushed variants, like Ores into Dusts.The SAG Mill has four output slots; recipes can have 1-4 different outputs, with different chances of obtaining those outputs. Uniquely, the SAG Mill can use Grinding Balls made from various materials to increase energy efficiency …
one SAG mill (9.75 dia.(m)*3.88 length(m)) following two parallel ball mills (5dia.(m)*7lenght(m)). The aim of this research work was to investigate on the ball filling estimation of Miduk semi-autogenous (SAG) Mill via an utilized method. Miduk SAG Mill circuit is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Diagram of Miduk Copper Complex
We find that the packing factor of the balls goes up over time, reducing the % full needed to maintain a given power setpoint. This has to be rectified every few months with a higher than normal charge of new balls to bring % full back to specification. The 60% "packing factor" for the balls is pretty close to our average for a seasoned charge.
- Ball top size (bond formula): calculation of the top size grinding media (balls or cylpebs):-Modification of the Ball Charge: This calculator analyses the granulometry of the material inside the mill and proposes a modification of the ball charge in order to improve the mill efficiency:
For overflow ball mills, the charge should not exceed 45% of the mill volume . For grate discharge mills, the charge should occupy about 50% of the mill volume . Bond developed a relationship that can be used to determine the percent charge by volume as a function of the vertical height above the charge, He, and the radius of the mill, R, i.e.,
The starting point for ball mill media and solids charging generally starts as follows: 50% media charge. Assuming 26% void space between spherical balls (non-spherical, irregularly shaped and mixed-size media will increase or decrease the free space) 50% x 26% = 13% free space. Add to this another 10%-15% above the ball charge for total of 23% ...
calculation of ball mill grinding efficiency. dear experts . please tell me how to calculate the grinding efficiency of a closed ckt & open ckt ball mill. in literatures it is written that the grinding efficiency of ball mill is very less [less than 10%]. please expalin in a n excel sheet to calcualte the same.
Mill Critical Speed Determination. The "Critical Speed" for a grinding mill is defined as the rotational speed where centrifugal forces equal gravitational forces at the mill shell's inside surface. This is the rotational speed where balls will not fall away from the mill's shell.
• 22 MW GMD for 28' ball mill • 28 MW GMD for a 40' SAG mill • 28 MW GMD for 42' SAG mill Whether it is size or an installation at the highest altitude (4600 m.a.s.l.), ABB's GMDs are well positioned to contribute to the building of larger and ever more powerful mills. — Leading the gearless mill drive evolution
The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
The ball mill accepts the SAG or AG mill product. Ball mills give a controlled final grind and produce flotation feed of a uniform size. Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol ...

The SAG mill was designed to treat 2,065 t h −1 of ore at a ball charge of 8% volume, total filling of 25% volume, and an operating mill speed of 74% of critical. The mill is fitted with 80 mm grates with total grate open area of 7.66 m 2 ( Hart et al., 2001 ).
SAG Mill Circuit Example — Gold Processing SAG mill circuit example for gold processing [image: (135-6-3)] AG/SAG Mill. AG/SAG mills are normally used to grind run-off-mine ore or primary crusher product. Wet grinding in an AG/SAG mill is accomplished in a slurry of 50 to 80 percent solids. 2D and 3D simulations of particles in a SAG Mill
We can calculate the steel charge volume of a ball or rod mill and express it as the % of the volume within the liners that is filled with grinding media. While the mill is stopped, the charge volume can be gotten by measuring the diameter inside the liners and the distance from the top of the charge to the top of the mill.

SAG mills mimic the same shortcoming. It follows that in order to obtain the specifi c energy (SE) to achieve a certain transfer size, based on the 80 per cent passing value, an ineffi ciency factor must be applied to the SE of single stage ball mills, rod mills or AG/SAG mills when calculating power according to the Bond Third Theory method.
Proportioning "A" & "B" to the 30% total charge (6% balls and 24% coarse ore): (6 ÷ 30) x 343. 10 = 68.6 (24 ÷ 30) x 181.43 = 145.1 Totaling the two gives 213.7 lbs. per cubic foot net at 30% total charge. (See Figure 4a for 30% charge). It can easily be seen that at 29% or any other charge the net charge density will change.

The Simple SAG Mill has four output slots; recipes can have 1-4 different outputs, with different chances of obtaining those outputs. Similar to Ender IO's other Simple machines, capacitors cannot be used in the Simple SAG Mill, so its slow processing speed cannot be improved. It also cannot use Grinding Balls.
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). However, SAG mill weight is difficult to control as the dynamic response changes as the mill approaches maximum capacity.
In semi-autogenous grinding (SAG), the grinding mill inventory, (i.e. volume of total charge, volume of ball charge, etc.) is important in determining the optimum operating condition for maximum production (tph), minimum specific energy (kwh/t) or lowest cost ($/t). A two-dimensional graphical method is presented for determining the actual ball charge within the …
