In order to obtain the optimal operation parameters of a SAG mill, in this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate the breakage process of …
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.

The operation at Phu Kham commenced design and construction in early 2006 and was commissioned in May 2008. This paper will examine and discuss the project from the inception of flow sheet development and equipment selection, equipment design and manufacture, construction, commissioning and ramp up to full production. The paper …
It can be applied toward the design, construction, maintenance, control, performance monitoring, and operation optimization of processes like crushing, grinding, milling, classification (by ...
It depends, as always, on the ore. To answer your question in general terms, yes you can use a SAG mill for a 2000 tpd operation, but it may not be the best answer. ... Kipushi Concentrator has one 18'diam X 6'L Hardinge Cascade-Mill running in the range of 1500-2000 tpd as FAG Mill (design not allowing the use of balls) assisted by: - one Ball ...
your SAG mill performs. A relatively minor wear part, the feed chute seal affects performance, lifecycle and safety with your SAG mill – and the stakes are high should it happen to fail. One of the main issues with poor sealing between the inlet chute and mill is the failure to retain water inside, creating seepage and loss of process water.
When operating a grinding circuit (at Granny Smith) under a wide range of conditions: campaigning very competent underground ore followed by soft oxide, primary versus secondary crushed feed and finally single-stage SAG and conventional SAG, ball mill and pebble crusher (SABC) configurations. Economics changed and a review of the …

hardness, done on SAG ground ore, as the basis of SAG mill design. The test consists of a robust bench scale laboratory batch SAG test followed by a Bond Ball Mill Work Index test on SAG ground ore. SAGDesign is the only bench-scale test that accurately measures hard ores (exceeding 15 kWh/t to grind the ore from F80 152 mm to T80 1.7 mm).
The final plan was to increase the ball charge in the SAG and ball mill to 10% v / v and 27% v / v, respectively; set the upper limit of the operating power in the ball mill to 5800 kW; use a TRIO TC Series crusher (without a power-/feed rate–controlling device, but with a feed bin) to crush pebbles for recirculation back to the SAG mill feed ...

A SAG mill, or semi-autogenous grinding mill, is a type of machine used in mining and mineral processing operations. It uses the crushing and grinding action of rocks to reduce materials such as copper ore into smaller pieces for further processing. Unlike traditional mills that rely on steel balls or other media to break down materials, SAG ...
Autogenous grinding is favored when the ore is quite competent and a fine grind is required. Semi-autogenous grinding is applied when fine crushing could cause severe problems or when ore is variable in hardness or competency. Figure 2 shows a typical conventional crushing-grinding circuit with three stages of crushing followed by …
