Conventional mining process circuits use both Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) and Ball mills. It is very common that the SAG mills are operated with adjustable frequency drives (AFDs) and the Ball mills are operated at fixed speed [1]. Recently, however, adjustability of Ball mill speed has been given more consideration. Also, to maximize throughput, the …

mentioned some case studies of using good liner designs. For example, the initial SAG mill liner was installed using Hi-Hi with a 6. o . contact angle. Mill throughput increased by 11% after the face angle had been altered to a 17. o. angle and then to a 30. o. angle. Currently, the large face angle (typically 20. o . up to 30. o

Due to its strong lifting capacity and excellent grinding performance, the trapezoidal liner is widely used in the SAG mill. The structure of the trapezoidal liner is shown in Fig. 1, the main dimensions are: dip angle (tau), length of the top edge (L) and height (h).Dip angle (tau) determines the trajectory of the mediums in the SAG mill, …

grade materials are trucked close to the mill, in anticipation of possible future treatment. The concentrator is designed to treat 40,000 metric tons per day of ore to produce 400,000 metric tons per year of copper in concentrate product. It includes two 28' x 14' SAG mills and four 18' x 24' ball mills in closed circuit,

For instance, in a study conducted on a copper-gold orebody, it was found that the power consumption of an AG mill is 25% to 30% lower than that of a SAG mill for the same capacity. Lower power consumption in AG mills can result in significant cost savings, making them a preferred choice in many mining operations.

The test and study work showed that a single line 42 ft SAG mill circuit gave the most favorable project economics in comparison to an equivalently powered single line 40 ft SAG mill circuit. This paper does not address the process design or the project economics, but instead focuses on the key aspects of the SAG mill design, GMD design and the ...

Based on experience, mill-liner designs have moved toward more open-shell lifter spacing, increased pulp lifter volumetric capacity, and a grate design to facilitate maximizing both pebble-crushing circuit utilization and SAG mill capacity. As a guideline, mill throughput is maximized with shell lifters between ratios of 2.5:1 and 5.0:1.

general, the bigger the mill diameter, the lower are the mill operating and critical speeds. Thus, for larger mills the number of poles will increase. As a result, the number of poles can vary from 48 to 72 poles (Fig. 3.) with typical mill speed requirements of about 10 rpm for larger SAG mills and about 15 rpm for smaller ball mills. Figure 3.

2. Background. The SAG grinding process has been modeled by various authors, either generating explanatory models of the grinding process, with the aim of modeling, simulating, and optimizing the individual process, as well as integrating it into aggregate processes, such as the mine-to-mill (M2M) paradigm, a practice that has …

The HPGR-ball mill circuit was estimated to require 75% of the energy of a standard Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill circuit. Even with an anticipated greater capital cost, the HPGR-ball mill circuit was found to give significantly better financial returns in all cases investigated in the feasibility study ( Ballantyne et al., 2016 ).

ABC closed circuit, Autogenous-Ball-Mill-Crusher. Another similar technique is the ABC open circuit where the crusher product feeds the ball mill rather than the autogenous mill.

As the SAG model in JKSimMet does not take account of the variation in breakage rates at different mill loads, the SAG mill load for different A and b values (Table 5) is kept the same as in the base case (Table 4). Simulated throughput was compared with the base case and the results are presented in Table 6, Table 7).
