• SAG Mill Design Test (Starkey, 2006). There are reasonable correlations between all the tests' data that generally allow any or all of the data to be used to design a SAG mill based grinding circuit for 'typical' ores of a moderate competence range. Issues have arisen where the expected SAG mill specific energy is greater than 10 kWh/t.

The two main functions of a mill liner consist in protecting the mill shell against wear and in transmitting the energy of the mill motor to the grinding charge to carry out the required size reduction in the most efficient way. For a mill liner, the design as well as the liner material are to be considered. The required movement of the mill charge to carry out effi-

reduced torque, T. Thus, a purchaser who specifies a higher rated speed of the mill will get a lower torque design, usually resulting in a lower motor cost. The paper specifically describes SAG mills, but the equations and principles apply equally to any conventional tumbling mill, such as AG, ball or rod mills.

The AG mill (autogenous grinding mill) is a medium-free grinding machine. In order to improve the processing capacity, 2% -3% steel balls can be added (also known as semi autogenous grinding mill or SAG mill). Raw ore or coarse crushed ore from the mine can be directly fed into the AG mill (SAG mill) for grinding.

behavior of large Ring Motors for grinding mills 4 2 Design of Ring Motors Siemens performs electrical and mechanical design of Ring motors in their Dynamowerk factory in Berlin. Ring Motor drive a grinding mill without contact between rotating and fixed parts. This concept avoids girth gear and pinions, which are used for conventional mill ...

SAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., the impact of shell liners on the …

• Sag Mill • Rod & Ball Mill • Primary and Secondary Cyclone • Thickener Feed • Flotation Feed • Tailings The SRL-XT has extra-thick rubber components that are up to three times thicker than standard rubber-lined pumps. Its heavy-duty design makes it ideal for the toughest applications, especially where coarser slurries are involved.

SAG mill complete foundation repair service Mining "The grinding mill is at the heart of a mining operation, but a poorly designed, constructed, or deteriorated foundation will not only affect grinding mill performance but potentially render the mill out of action, costing millions of dollars in lost production."

mills in the older plants that had many mills in parallel. In fact this is generally still the case in the multi-stream plants, where mill liner design and selection is only tackled on a cost consumables basis. However, the gains to be had through good liner design and selection are just as great as on the large SAG mills.

design of a plant for Adanac Moly Corp. to include SAG and Ball milling. The hardness of each sample was measured in terms of SAG power index, SPI (for SAG grinding) and Bond Ball mill work index, BWi (for ball mill grinding). A further measure, the Minnovex crusher index, Ci was also measured for use in the CEET program to determine SAG

29 kWh/t of SAG pinion energy to achieve 1.7mm T80) represented the correct design hardness for the NICO project mills. And whether the total pinion energy (SAG plus ball mill) was sorted by increasing SAG, or by increasing total pinion energy, the result was the same.

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

Wills and Napier-Munn (2006) describe the design and operation of SAG mills. SAG mills are currently the technology of choice in hard rock milling operations for reducing primary-crushed ore to ball mill feed. In recent years, the trend has been towards larger-sized SAG mills with diameters of 10.4 m

The discharge grates of the SAG mill were identified as a key component in the SABC circuit, and their design is a crucial factor in the mill's performance [17,18,19,20,21]. The initial design of the grate section caused a serious accumulation of pebbles within the SAG mill which contributed to a decreased grinding efficiency.

Table 4 – SAG Mill Simulation Results Design Throughput (t/hr) P80(mm) P50(mm) Power(kW) kWh/t 1 1250 3.21 0.69 12750 10.2 2 1420 3.13 0.65 12755 9.0 3 1480 3.11 0.63 12749 8.6 As can be seen a significant increase in throughput is obtained with Design 2 with further, though proportionately much less, improvement with Design 3.

new liner design was proposed. Installing the second liner design in AG mill No. 1 and converting it to SAG mill increased the mill throughput by 18% (from 413 to 489 t/h), while the liner life showed a 7% increase. Measurement of the wear profiles of the second liner set indicate that the maximum wear occurs in the centre of the mill.

The relationship between comminution testwork results and the milling circuit that is subsequently selected is not a direct one and frequently involves recourse to databases of past test results. This in itself reflects the lack of a systematic engineering approach in the design process. This paper reviews comminution tests for SAG mill design in an attempt to identify where the essential ...

Single stage SAG Mills are very beneficial in reducing CAPEX for plants with a staged throughput approach. When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.

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).
