When the author ran the 5.5 ft (168 cm) diameter Pilot Plant SAG mill for Art MacPherson's new SAG mill design projects in 1964–1965, the standard loading was "2 in. (51 mm) below the lip of the feed trunnion", or 26% load (Rexnord, 1976). It was known then to be the best and proper load at which to run a
The Kidston plant was designed to process 7500 tpd fresh ore of average hardness; but to optimise profit during the first two years of operation when softer oxide ore will be treated, the process equipment was sized to handle a throughput of up to 14 000 tpd. Some of the equipment, therefore, will become standby units …

The LSTM network shows great results on predicting the relative operational hardness at 30 min time support. On SAG mill 1, using a lambda value of 0.5, the obtained accuracy was 77.3% while increasing the lambda to 1.5 led to an increase in accuracy of 93.1%. Similar results were found on the second SAG mill.
The traditional operation of SAG mills relies on the operator to adjust the manipulated variables to maintain the target mill load and power draw. Changes to the ore hardness, …
Online SAG Mill Grinding Pulse Measurement and Optimization. Current semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) and ball mills are inherently inefficient, using less than 1 percent of the energy input required for size reduction. Grinding mills also consume tons of steel balls and liners. Proper monitoring and optimization of the operating conditions can ...
SAG mills contain balls of up to 150mm in diameter that occupy 5%-18% of mill chamber volume. Ball mills, conversely, contain grinding media up to 50mm in diameter, occupying between 25% - 40% of mill chamber volume. To effectively reduce material size, each type of mill needs to generate different charge load actions, or the type of motion ...
In the current project, ... The product from the SAG mill is further reduced in size using pebble crushers and ball mills. Hence, typical gold or copper ore requires between 2.0 and 7.5 kWh per ton of energy to reduce the particle size. Considering a typical mining operation processes 10,000 to 100,000 tons per day the energy expenditure in ...
ABSTRACT. In 2010 Newmont made the decision to purchase a 42 foot (ft) Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill from and a 28 Mega-Watt (MW) Gearless Mill …
A 42-ft SAG mill was designed and built for Minas Congas mine in Peru, but never installed. "The rise from 34- to 40-ft-dia. SAG mills was quick, but then stalled," Filidore explained. "Today, we're seeing a lot of 28-ft ball mills. Last month, we sold six 28-ft ball mills and six 40-ft SAG mills.
SAG Mill Charge. Defining the charge weight and height for fully autogenous grinding mill requires allowance for the ore specific gravity (and its variations) and …
The main grinding circuit at Les Mines Selbaie consists of two mills, one SAG mill in closed circuit with an 8' x 20' vibrating screen with 700 micron deck, and one ball mill. The SAG mill is 8.23m (27') diameter x 3.75m (12.3') long. The Holt-McDermott grinding circuit uses a large primary SAG mill which is 5.03m (16.5') diameter x
I try to size and select two ball mills, which the first is in open circuit with feed rate of 125 t/h and its discharge goes to the sump of hydrocyclone and together with discharge of second ball mill, enters to the cyclone for classification. the se... SmartDog. Simple answer: yes 125 x …
Based on tried-and-true technology, this high-capacity SAG mill will be among the biggest gear-driven mills erected in Africa. It has a Polymer Hydrostatic Shoe Bearing (HSB) system, which greatly extends the life and dependability of radial and axial bearings, and an efficient LSS drive. ... Buckreef Gold Mine Project in Tanzania Prepared for ...
The steel dischargers on the SAG mill comprised 187 pieces. Not unsurprisingly, this led to lengthy downtimes for component replacement. Making the situation worse: the discharger service life was a relatively short 12 months. Inadequate liner service life. The SAG mill's steel liners were failing to meet the required service life.
This paper presents the technical details of the world's first 42 foot diameter 28 MW gearless SAG mill, installed at the Conga copper-gold project in Peru. It explains the challenges and solutions for designing and operating such a large mill, and how it delivers high efficiency and low maintenance costs.
AG/SAG mill is inefficient in grinding particles of a certain size, typically in the range of 25-55 mm, i.e., pebbles. Therefore, cone crushers are often used as pebble crushers and integrated into AG/SAG mill circuits to break the critical size particles that accumulate in the mill and to increase the performance of the primary grinding circuits.
mill feed instead of the AG/SAG mill. It boosts the throughput of the AG/SAG mill (because there is no recycle), but loads the ball mills instead. Often an existing plant that observes their SAG mill is limiting throughput, but the ball mills are under-loaded can open-circuit the primary mill to better balance the grinding load

In a large-scale operation, feed ores are introduced into the AG/SAG mill in a continuous mode at a given flow rate to replace the discharging slurry. Nonetheless, the variations in the feed characteristics, typically hardness and size distribution, could cause sudden disruption to the mill operation. This would be challenging to detect in practice, …
