SAG and AG Mills operate by lifting ore/grinding media and dropping it on the operating bed of the mill charge High impacts from lifting ore and media promote impact breakage which is the primary mechanism for size reduction in the mill Via the use of sophisticated instruments and software we closely monitor the mill impact location to boost the grinding efficiency of your operation
SAG mill optimisation and increasing throughput at the Phu Kham Copper-Gold Operation – a success story in Proceedings 14th AusIMM Mill Operators' Conference 2018 pp 113–128 (The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Melbourne)
Introduction This tutorial describes how to set-up and analyze a SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mill simulation There are 14 short steps that will guide you throughout the tutorial The SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mill is a machine designed to to grind smaller particles and break larger rocks Particle breakage will not take place during this simulation The main focus is on []
The SAG mill is currently not the circuit bottleneck achieving the design capacity at a finer than design grindsize Under the current conditions ball consumption and energy efficiency has been optimised at the target plant capacity with flow on effects in downstream processing recovery benefits
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 that are critical to good SAG mill performance i e the impact of shell liners on the grinding action and of grates
difference between sag mill and ball mill SAG Mill - Semi-Autogenous Grinding Mill - Repair | FAB 3R A semi-autogenous grinding mill or Sag mill is responsible for grinding materials from large chunks into small usable pieces for processing

Optimizing your SAG mill operation Posted by Matrix on 21st March 2007 Sanjeev Latchireddi Chief Process Engineer – Grinding Americas Outokumpu Technology looks at the shift from ball mills to SAG mills Nowadays the more successful plants are those that have adopted effective and efficient strategies to optimize their plant operation As the 'heart of the plant' could be viewed as
BrainWave is ideally suited to stabilize the operation of SAG mills Effective grinding in a SAG mill depends largely on how it is loaded A mill containing too much material does not allow for adequate movement of the ore and balls A mill that does not contain enough material does not take advantage of the autogenous grinding mechanism In either case grinding effectiveness is suboptimal
SAG Mill - Semi-Autogenous Grinding Mill A semi-autogenous grinding mill or Sag mill is responsible for grinding materials from large chunks into small usable pieces for processing The Sag mill is usually part of the primary stage in the grinding process Pieces of raw or fairly reduced materials are ground into smaller pieces for further processing or sorting These machines are typically

A SAG mill is characterized by its large diameter and short length It rotates tumbling its contents violently causing a breaking action The mill is lined with wear resistant steel liners which are fitted with lifters to assist with raising the load The liners are replaced as they wear and the lifting action has degraded The load - dry ore steel balls and water - occupies approximately
