In Grinding, selecting (calculate) the correct or optimum ball size that allows for the best and optimum/ideal or target grind size to be achieved by your ball mill is an important thing for a Mineral Processing Engineer AKA Metallurgist to do. Often, the ball used in ball mills is oversize "just in case". Well, this safety factor can cost you much in recovery and/or mill liner wear and tear.

Optimization of mill performance by using online ball and pulp measurements Soon after a stop, a mill is a dangerous place to enter for the personnel tasked with taking measurements or

A mine of efficiency LENA NyBERG, GERD EISENHUTH, KJELL SvAHN, PER ASTROM, SARAH STOETER – Some 1,000 km north of Stockholm, Sweden, past the Arctic Circle, lies an impressive open-pit copper mine, known as Aitik. Although the proportion of metal found at the Aitik copper mine is low – less than 0.3 percent – it is a highly profit-

SAG MILL DISCHARGE SCREENS-TROMMEL vs. VIBRATING Tony Moon, RTZ What I'd like to talk about is probably one of the nastiest bits of mill design for a grinding circuit, and that is the choice of what do you use on a SAG mill discharge? Do you use vibrating screens or trommel screens? What many of you probably don't realize is that at

Apr 18, 2014· SAG mill, 18' diameter x 10-1/2' long, manufactured by Fuller, rubber-lined, driven by 1500 HP, 4160 volt, 1192 RPM, continuous motor, 5010 .

(OSD) on the performance of the mill can be addressed using the grindcurves (Powell and Mainza, 2006) of the SAG mill under analysis. The operation of SAG mills is extremely sensitive to mill lling; from a qualitative point of view, for a given ll level and constant feed rate and speed, if the OSD becomes slightly coarser then the ll

control of the grinding media volume based on wear rates within the SAG mill, increasing the grinding media load in the SAG mill, the use of a blend of ball mill balls to increase finer size particles and smaller cyclone apex. These recommendations did not result in improvement in mill .

The length of the mill is approximately equal to its diameter. The general idea behind the ball mill is an ancient one, but it was not until the industrial revolution and the invention of steam power that an effective ball milling machine could be built. It is reported to have been used for grinding flint for pottery in 1870.

Lets calculate/select/pick a new ball for your SAG mill. Now, lets suppose you have a SAG Mill and Ball Mill that are not drawing full kW Power. The SAG Mill has a "small" circulation load of oversize given be the 3/8″ trommel screen and the 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ discharge grates. The load of 4″ balls in this SAG is "good" but un-measured.

The Copper Mountain SAG mill is 10363 mm [34 feet] in diameter and 6096 mm [20 feet] long. It is a grate discharge mill with an inside diameter of 10363 mm [34 feet] and a grinding length of 5334 mm [17.5 feet]. The mill is driven by two 8,500 horsepower ABB motors. Figure 2 - The 34' x 20' SAG mill

SAG Mill vs Ball Mill. Ball Motion inside a SAG Mill. ... The speed of the mill type of liner, discharge arrangement, size of feeder, size of bearings, mill diameter and length, and other factors are all considered to take care of the size of feed, tonnage, circulating sand load, selection of balls or rods, and the final size of grind. ...

The cone crusher product discharges directly on to the mill feed conveyor, to be carried back into the SAG mill. The secondary grinding circuit consists of a 5.5 m diameter x 9.8 m grinding length, 5,222 kW ball mill in a closed circuit with the grinding cyclopac.

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

Gearless mill drive (GMD) technology has further expanded the use of large SAG milling allowing to produce the world's largest SAG mill of 42' in diameter drawing power at 28 MW. Today, is the world leading supplier of gearless SAG mills operating globally.

The basic parameters used in ball mill design (power calculations), rod mill or any tumbling mill sizing are; material to be ground, characteristics, Bond Work Index, bulk density, specific density, desired mill tonnage capacity DTPH, operating % solids or pulp density, feed size as F80 and maximum 'chunk size', product size as P80 and maximum and finally the type of circuit open/closed ...

SAG/ball mill circuit incorporating pebble crushers and a POLYCOM® high-pressure grinding roll. SAG and ball mill for gold ore grinding. One of three SAG mills with 9.75 m diameter and 2 x 4000 kW drive power. These mills operate in conjunction with ball mills for iron ore grinding in .

Gross power No load power Net power drawn by the charge (8.13) The net power is calculated from Net power KD2.5L e! c./ Watts (8.14) In equation 8.14, D is the diameter inside the mill liners and Le is the effective length of the mill including the ...

SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. The largest SAG mill is 42' (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor.

A SAG mill is characterized by its large diameter and short length. It rotates, tumbling its contents violently, causing a breaking action. The mill is lined with wear resistant steel liners which are fitted with lifters to assist with raising the load. The liners are replaced as .

Modelling SAG milling power and specific energy consumption including the feed percentage of intermediate size particles M. Silva, A. Casali⇑ Mining Engineering Department, Universidad de Chile, Beauchef 850, Santiago 8370448, Chile

SAG mill has a much larger diameter compared to its length. Yet the SAG mill of Newmont's Yanacocha mine in Peru is a single stage mill (no ball mill after the SAG mill) and has a diameter and length of 32', driven by a 16.5 MW GMD from ABB. Above the Arctic Circle in Sweden, Boliden has just installed two 38' diameter mills with

of the energy required by a SAG mill. Put another way, the SAG mill energy required according to this statement, is 2.5 times more than the Ab value to produce the same degree of particle breakage. There is a speci fi c gravity factor that affects AG/SAG power draw. The lighter material, in .
