SAG mills use a combination of steel balls and rock particles as grinding media, while AG mills use only the ore itself. Both types of mills are used for grinding ore in mineral processing operations, but SAG mills are larger in size and can grind larger quantities of ore. AG mills, on the other hand, are smaller and are typically used for ...
When operating a grinding circuit (at Granny Smith) under a wide range of conditions: campaigning very competent underground ore followed by soft oxide, primary versus secondary crushed feed and finally single-stage SAG and conventional SAG, ball mill and pebble crusher (SABC) configurations. Economics changed and a review of the …
In a SAG mill, balls of up to 150mm in diameter occupy 5%-18% of the mill chamber volume. In contrast, a ball mill contains grinding media up to 50mm in diameter, occupying between 25% - 40% of the mill chamber volume. Another difference is the type of grinding media used. Ball mills typically use steel rods, steel balls, or similar media to ...
Rely on our proven track record of AG and SAG Mill superiority. Since the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and …
Autogenous grinding (AG) and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills use the material to be ground as the grinding media. Autogenous grinding mills use larger rocks to impact and break smaller rocks as the mill rotates. Semi-autogenous mills are basically the same autogenous mills, but with the addition of balls, similar to those in ball mills.

1. Feature: 1) High Hardness grinding media for ball mill: Surface hardness of grinding media is to 60-68 HRC and volume hardness of grinding ball is to 60-65 HRC; 2) High Impact Toughness: The impact toughness is more than 15 J/cm2; 3) Low Broken Rate: The actual broken rate is not higher than 1%; 4) Even Wear-resistance: The wear rate of cast ...
ME Super SAG® forged steel balls are designed for SAG mill applications and manufactured in four models according to each requirement: HH (High Hardness), S (Standard), T (Tough) and HC (High Carbon). They are available in diameters ranging from approximately 4.0" to 6.25" (100-160 mm). ME Super SAG® balls must pass strict …
Working Principle of a SAG Mill. The rock and grinding media are placed in the mill and rotated, causing the grinding media to tumble and crush the rock into smaller pieces. The mill operates in a closed circuit with screens that size the ore and send it back to the mill for further grinding. The product from the mill is then sent to a cyclone ...
The capital cost of a ball mill can vary significantly based on its size and operational requirements. Similarly, SAG mill configuration and size will also affect its total cost of ownership. Generally, the construction costs associated with SAG mills tend to fall in a wider range than for a ball mill due to the: complexity of process; detailed ...

Detecting SAG & Ball Mill Labyrinth Seal leaks. * New installations should utilize Pall's latest generation WS08 Water Sensor as pictured below. The mine installed Pall WS03 Water Sensors into the Feed and Discharge end of their SAG Mill and into the Feed end of their Ball Mill lube oil return lines. Each monitor was connected via the WS03 ...
The SAG Mill has a "small" circulation load of oversize given be the 3/8″ trommel screen and the 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ discharge grates. The load of 4″ balls in this SAG is "good" but un-measured. SAG Ball consumption is "average" at 400 g/t while Ball Mill grinding media (3″ balls) usage in 550 g/t. Yet, you add steel and nothing ...
This is a matter of equity. 7. Best practice ore hardness measurement requires measuring the SAG hardness to grind the ore from a feed size F 80 of 152 mm to a transfer size T 80 of 1.7 mm, using the most accurate test available, in kWh/t and measuring the Bond Ball Mill Work Index on SAG ground ore.
The pairing mill combination of a SAG/Ball mill is common in copper/gold mines for that reason. This combination can aim for a fine product sizes are around typically 100-200 micron whereas a Vertimill or ISAMill are finer at 20-40 micron or smaller.
Molycop's SAG milling product range is specifically designed for today's high-impact SAG milling environments. Our innovative manufacturing process results in SAG balls with …
Objectives. At the end of this lesson students should be able to: Explain the grinding process. Distinguish between crushing and grinding. Compare and contrast different type of equipment and their components used for …
The Dugbe gold project is located in south-eastern Liberia, approximately 240km south-east of the capital city of Monrovia and 76km east of Greenville. ... be fed to the primary crusher and the crushed ore will be sent to the stockpile before it undergoes processing in the SAG and ball milling circuit. The material will be sent to a pre-leach ...
The SAG mill feeds two FL ball mills each 26 ft. in diameter × 40 ft. long (EGL), each driven by a 16,400 kW drive. The SAG mill is one of the largest volumetric capacity SAG mills in the world and represented the first 40 ft. SAG mill in Peru (Garcia & Villanueva, 2013 [1]). Antapaccay's flow sheet is shown in Figure 1 below.
Since saggy balls come with aging, there's not much you can do about it, other than living a healthy lifestyle which slows the aging process of your body overall. That means avoiding alcohol and ...
The SAG ball series is used primarily for SAG ore grinding operations in which high impact breakage resistance and high wear resistance are the main ball attributes required. Supply and Quality Guarantee Long established strategic relationships with local and foreign raw material suppliers allow us to ensure all balls supplied to our

Go gearless to meet your business objetives by exceeding standard availability targets in your grinding operations. ABB's GMD is the most powerful mill drive system in the market to power semiautogenous (SAG), ball and autogenous (AG) mills, This 'workhorse' for grinding operations combines a robust, service-friendly and fit for purpose ...
Typically bigger balls give you more. crushing action and less attrition/abrasion action. Bigger balls are more efficient against rock has high impact/rod work index and lower ball work index values. Or, if you are Chilean, then you install huge mills that need huge 6″ balls because, well, everything is huge.
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.

Ball mill： Ball mills are the most widely used one. Rod mill： The rod mill has the highest efficiency when the feed size is <30mm and the discharge size is about 3mm with uniform particle size and light overcrushing phenomenon. SAG mill: When the weight of the SAG mill is more than 75%, the output is high and the energy consumption …
SAG and Ball Mill Liner system serves two purposes: Protect the mill shell from wear caused by the impact and abrasion of the mill charge, and to elevate and tumble the mill contents in the necessary manner to create a grinding action. To achieve this, the mill liner profile must be constructed from high wear resistant materials and incorporate correct …
