Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill liner design and development. 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 ...

Intermediate autogenous grinding can efficiently replace the rod mill and ball mill stage of a conventional grinding circuit. The need was shown for closed circuit operation of the last stage of crushing to control the top size of the mill feed. A reasonable rate ratio between media and total mill feed was established.

Anglo American Platinum employs numerous fully autogenous (AG) primary mills. All are under Neuro-Fuzzy control, applied in a manner suitably robust to perform in the non-linear, highly unmeasured environment of primary milling (Steyn et al., 2010).These mills have recently been fitted with model predictive controllers that enable real-time optimisation and …

The grinding process alone accounts for 80% of the energy consumption. It consists of pulverizing limestone blocks to obtain the calcium carbonate used as a mineral filler in paper pulp. Mills are the plant's main equipment: 5 x 355 kW autogenous mills operating without prior crushing; 20 electric mills of various powers between 250 and 355 kW.

This paper presents Fluors learnings from grinding design and optimisation work carried out over the last decade, which includes the design and construction of the worlds largest High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) based grinding circuits and the optimisation of Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill liner and grate design at a number of sites.

I-301 I-302 INTRODUCTION The Mount Isa Copper Concentrator grinding circuit currently consists of two 32' x 16' semi-autogenous (SAG) mills, each powered by two 3.2 MW motors, followed by two 16'6" x 20' ball mills powered by 2.6 (1) MW motors.

optimisation of pulp lifters affects not only the energy efficiency and throughput of autogenous grinding/semi-autogenous (AG/SAG) grinding mills, but also contributes other process benefits such as improved wear life and operator-friendly steady and smooth mill operation.

Grinding 20 kwh/t 100 $3.75/t 25 In the last 20 years grinding circuit design has undergone considerable change and has seen the rise in popularity of autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mills to the point where it is rare to find a comminution circuit where they are not used. This trend has enabled unit throughput size to increase

The Morrell method can be applied for the design and optimization of comminution circuits. The method essentially consists of two parts: • Part 1: Power draw modelling of equipment such as ball mills and autogenous grinding (AG) and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills. • Part 2: Using ore properties to assess the circuit specific energy.

In the mining sector, these losses can be particularly large. For example, a trained professional crew requires between 40 and 120 hours to replace the worn liner of a Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill with each hour costing between 30,000 to 200,000 USD and such maintenance can occur every six to nine months.

Northparkes installed and commissioned a secondary crushing circuit in 2010 to debottleneck the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill constrained grinding circuits. Following further improvements to the circuit (inclusion of a double deck vibrating screen), the project successfully delivered finer feed to the SAG mill. The result of this project was an increase in the milled …

Optimisation of auotgenous grinding 1347 A typical size distribution of pre-rounded rocks and water, with no fines, was used to simulate water flushing. The 1.8m ~rnill was operated for 8.4 minutes to compensate for the fact that the larger diameter mill generated more power per unit mass of rock.

Abstract Autogenous (AG) milling is utilised around the world for particle size reduction. The system exhibits highly non-linear behaviour in addition to being subject to unmeasured variability associated with most ore bodies. Anglo American Platinum aimed at improving online optimisation of the circuit by implementing industrial model predictive control …

This paper presents Fluor's learnings from grinding design and optimisation work carried out over the last decade, which includes the design and construction of the world's largest High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) based grinding circuits and the optimisation of Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill liner and grate design at a number of sites.

Autogenous grinding tests were run in a 10-ft x 4-ft Rockcyl mill. The principle of prepared feed and media was utilized to determine how coarse a feed could be commercially fed to a rock mill. Secondary rock milling was expanded toward the particle sizes of primary milling while still utilizing the practices of secondary milling.

Grinding is therefore considered a very beneficial target for optimization. It is critical in achieving a suitable ore feed size distribution in order to reach high grinding efficiency and throughput, especially in grinding circuits involving autogenous (AG) or semi-autogenous (SAG) mills.

Autogenous mills, or AG mills, can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening. Often used in grinding at modern mineral processing plants, AG mills reduce the material directly to the desired final size or prepare it for the following grinding stages.

The circuit is operated in a closed loop with a horizontal vibrating screen tted with 630 m polyurethane classi cation panels.

Semi-Autogenous Grinding mills can be optimized for maximum ore throughput or maximum grinding energy efficiency. In both cases, precise control of the mill weight is critical. Model predictive control provides an additional tool to improve the control oSemif -Autogenous Grindingmills and is often

autogenous grinding as well as to SAG mill primary grinding. In the SAG mill testwork when the steel is added the SAG product classification size and ore feed size distribution is varied. If necessary, pebble crushing or mill speed can also be investigated. All tests are evaluated on the basis of feed rate, power consumption and product size ...

Where in conventional rod and ball mill plants there are usually 3 to 4 stages of crushing followed by 1 to 3 stages of grinding, depending on ore fineness and hardness, primary autogenous plants require only one stage of crushing followed by 1 to 2 stages of grinding.
