WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In this presentation an historical perspective of the origins of MinetoMill is described and is followed by a discussion of how AG/SAG feed size affects throughput and specific energy and the factors that in turn influence AG/SAG feed size, such as ore hardness, Run of Mine (RoM) size distribution and crusher operation (both primary and secondary).
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Analysis of the recorded mill acoustic response using statistical root mean square (RMS) and mill discharge sizes showed that the introduction of fresh feed with varying hardness and size distribution considerably altered the mill product undersize of −150 μm and acoustic emission.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Based on experience, millliner designs have moved toward more openshell lifter spacing, increased pulp lifter volumetric capacity, and a grate design to facilitate maximizing both pebblecrushing circuit utilization and SAG mill capacity. As a guideline, mill throughput is maximized with shell lifters between ratios of :1 and :1.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377When the feed size of a SAG mill becomes coarser, α r increases, the energy required to break the ore increases, φ r and φ f increases (Morrell et al., 1996; Morrell and Valery, 2001 ...

Following a benchmarking study of all blasting, crushing and grinding practices in January 2009, PTI recommended changes in both blasting and crushing conditions in order to generate a finer feed size to the SAG mill.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The purpose of the primary crusher is to reduce the ROM ore to a size amenable for feeding the secondary crusher or the SAG mill grinding circuit. The ratio of reduction through a primary crusher can be up to about 8:1. Feed: ROM up to m. Product: 300mm (for transport) to 200mm (for SAG mill) Feed Rate:
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Over a relatively short time period taking a belt cut and sieving the material is the most accurate method of determining the size distribution of the ag/sag mill feed. However, fluctuations in feed size make such sizings valuable only if they can be done very frequently, which is clearly impracticable in a production environment.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The Importance of Understanding Feed Size as well as Hardness in SAG Mill Performance. This presentation explores how current grinding circuit design methods ignore the importance of feed size and focus entirely on feed hardness. In fact, the measurement of hardness is dependent on the size of material so, in fact, hardness and particle size ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377SAG mill acoustics can serve as online proxy tool for providing more insight into different feed size fractions in the mill. The practical implication of the study could be beneficial to SAG mill operators by predicting a sudden change in feed size in realtime. Abstract
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377To collect reliable data, the plant comminution circuit was initially investigated and it was decided to take samples from the SAG mill feed, discharge and screen overflow. The sampling from the SAG mill discharge was made by a sampling cutter as shown in Fig. 2a. The discharge cutter was a pipe with a 50 cm diameter, m length and closed end.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The capacity of the SAG mill is related to lots of factors such as feed size, size distribution, discharge size and grindability, etc., and it should be confirmed according to the actual situation. SM40*14'——means it is a dry mill.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Common convention generally refers to highaspect ratio mills as SAG mills (with diameter to effective grinding length ratios of 3:1 to 1:1), lowaspect ratio mills (generally, a mill with a significantly longer length than diameter) are also worth noting.
