Based on their higher throughput and coarser grind relative to AG mills, it is more common for SAG mills to be used as the primary stage of grinding, followed by a second stage of milling. AG/SAG circuits producing a fine grind (particularly single-stage grinding applications) are often closed with hydrocyclones.

A high-intensity blasting/two-stage HPGR/Vertimill circuit was testified for energy savings over 45 % compared with a conventional blasting/SABC circuit by JKMRC model on data from a base metal mine ... and the undersize proceeds to the downstream grinding circuit. The HPGR increase the −0.074 mm fraction from 8.03 % in the feed to …

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 …

In 1991 Dominion Mining Ltd and the Brodie-Hall Centre of Curtin University commenced a joint project at the Paddy's Flat gold plant, at Meekatharra, Western Australia, to develop and configure a control system for a two-stage grinding circuit. A low-cost DCS system had already been installed at that plant. [13] M~ 7.2/~.-.c 153 154 …

The design of such circuits is complicated by the typical power-based models used for conceptual design being calibrated to a two-stage circuit with AG or SAG mill product being passed to a pebble mill or ball mill stage for finished grinding. The two-stage circuit includes a "transfer size"
