SAG Mill Control . SAG mills can be optimized for maximum ore throughput or maximum grinding energy efficiency. In both cases, precise control of the mill filling percentage is critical (Wills and Napier-Munn, 2006). Maintaining constant mill weight, as indicated by bearing pressure, is one approach to stabilize the mill filling percentage.

The grinding process of the ball mill is an essential operation in metallurgical concentration plants. Generally, the model of the process is established as a multivariable system characterized with strong coupling and time delay. In previous research, a two-input-two-output model was applied to describe the system, in which some key indicators of the process were ignored.
In this study the performance of a fixed speed SAG mill was assessed and optimised by employing mill trajectory models and using the JKMRC power model to calculate percent total mill filling. Power Curves, which correlate ball filling, mill filling and mill power, were also developed. The Power Curves, with additional knowledge from the ...
1. SAG mill is the primary tool for grinding. SAG mill is used before the other mills. Ball mill is a secondary, and it is used after the SAG mill. 2. SAG mill breaks the raw material into pieces for the further grinding. Ball mill is used to grind the pieces of raw material into. powder-like structures. 3.

There are two lines consisting of this SAG - ball mill combination where the SAGs are denoted as SAG1 and SAG2. Note: Each SAG mill is operated in a closed circuit manner in conjunction with a typical trommel screen and pebble crushing circuit. The ball mills are also operated in a closed circuit employing two hydrocyclone separators. The

The results obtained from this work show, the ball filling percentage variation is between 1.2– 3.7% which is lower than mill ball filling percentage, according to the designed conditions (15%). In addition, acquired load samplings result for mill ball filling was 1.3%
Difference between Rod mill and Ball mill . The main difference between the two is the difference in grinding bodies The ball of ball mill is in point contact with each other and the rod of rod mill is in line contact with each other so their working characteristics are obviously different 4 Media filling rate The medium filling rate refers to the percentage of the grinding media

According to the need of customers, ball mills can realize both wet and dry production Ball mills have been designed in standard sizes of the final products between 0074 mm and 04 mm in diameter Feed particle size: less than 30mm Production capacity: 22250 tons / hour.
The U.S. mining industry operates approximately 80 semi-autogenesis grinding mills (SAG) throughout the United States. Depending on the mill size the SAG mills draws between 2 MW and 17 MW. The product from the SAG mill is further reduced in …
The ball charge is a function of the bulk fraction of the SAG mill volume (Jb) occupied by balls; the ore retained in the mill is the result of the volumetric filling which depends on the ore size distribution (specially the % +6″ and the % −6″ +1″), on the rotational speed (N/Nc) and on the solid concentration by weight fraction inside ...
The aim of this research work was to investigate on the ball filling estimation of Miduk semi-autogenous (SAG) Mill via an utilized method. Miduk copper concentrator is located in Kerman Province, Iran, and its size reduction stage includes one gyratory crusher which feeds one SAG mill (9.75 dia.(m)*3.88 length(m)) following two parallel ball mills (5dia.(m)*7lenght(m)).
For overflow ball mills, the charge should not exceed 45% of the mill volume . For grate discharge mills, the charge should occupy about 50% of the mill volume . Bond developed a relationship that can be used to determine the percent charge by volume as a function of the vertical height above the charge, He, and the radius of the mill, R, i.e.,
