& Mainza, A.N. 2009). However, SAG mill weight is difficult to control as the dynamic response changes as the mill approaches maximum capacity. Near maximum capacity, the weight response exhibits integrating behavior, and the mill can overload quickly. This situation is complicated by the transport delays in the feed system, so it is important that the control system can detect the imminent ...
Nowadays, experimental semi-autogenous (SAG) mill and drop-weight test are used for evaluation of grinding circuit regarding changes in feed particle size distribution, size of the ball, speed of mill, prediction of energy required, and product size distribution for complete grinding in AG and SAG mills.
mill, followed by a wide variety of rod and ball mills. Circuit configurations, including AG, SAG, ABC or SABC, are evaluated easily. The circuit employs an integrated Distributive Control System (DCS) for monitoring plant conditions. Feed rate, mill speed, power, mill load, particle size distribution and other data are updated,
size distributions in AG/SAG mills. The existing models and understanding of grate discharge and classification are known to be flawed and have been identified as one of the key limitations in AG/SAG modelling. The aim of this thesis is to improve on the current understanding of discharge in the SAG/AG model. It focuses on the present limitations of the JK AG/SAG model in predicting accurate ...

SAG mills, Morrell (1993). The mill with scats had a considerably finer size distribution, and notably lacks ball in the 40mm to 60mm size range. This is the size at which the porosity is exposed, and they suddenly become smaller and non-spherical. For a normal finer ball size distribution a finer grind and lower throughput would be expected.

distribution affects the SAG mill load and the load affects directly the mill power and the efficiency of the mill operation (Van Nierop and Moys, 2001). If a SAG mill has been designed with a conventional power or specific energy model which do not con-sider the projected feed size distribution it is likely that this mill
The particle-size distribution (PSD) of a powder, or granular material, or particles dispersed in fluid, is a list of values or a mathematical function that defines the relative amount, typically by mass, of particles present according to size. Significant energy is usually required to disintegrate soil, etc. particles into the PSD that is then called a grain size distribution.
MILL VIBRATION ANALYSIS "Looking Inside Your Mill" MillSlicer lets you "see" what is happening inside your operating mill, so there is no need to run blind! Overview. MillSlicer has been developed for the mining industry, specifically for use on SAG/AG mills. The MillSlicer utilises vibration sensors and digital signal processing ...
SAG mill is an investment that can produce handsome returns if extra production is needed or simply to give the mine the option to mill the hardest ores at design throughput rates. Typical tests required to define a hardness variability function, are given below in Figure 1.
* SAG mills are the machines with the highest reduction rate which performs crushing, grinding and washing together. It offers a much higher reduction ratio than 3-stage crushing and screening system. * Feeding material in the dimension of 200-300 mm, is reduced to d100: 2 mm and below. This capability increases the efficiency of the ball mill ...

12.12.2016 · The ball mill motor power requirement calculated above as 1400 HP is the power that must be applied at the mill drive in order to grind the tonnage of feed from one size distribution. The ...
The feed size distribution together with the ore characteristics (hardness, lithology, alterations, etc.) are the most important factors affecting the SAG mills performance.
The ability to simulate the Bond work index test also allows examination of truncated ball mill feed size distributions on the work index. For grinding circuits where the feed to a ball mill is sent directly to the classifier and the cyclone underflow feeds the ball mill (see Figure 3.10), a question arises as to whether this practice will alter the ball mill work index (BW i) of the material ...
The ROM SAG mill circuit—a brief description The typical ROM SAG mill circuit is depicted in Figure 1. The circuit is usually closed with either a screen or, more commonly, a cyclone for product size classification. The focus of control can be divided into two parts, viz. the mill and the cyclone. The importance of cyclone performance should ...

The 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 1.5 m; Product: -300mm (for transport) to -200mm (for SAG mill) Feed Rate: 160 to 13,000 tph

the ball mill is less energy efficient than a crusher and has to input more energy to do the same amount of size reduction). Hence from equation 7, to crush to the ball mill circuit feed size (x. 2) in open circuit requires specific energy equivalent to: f x f x 2. 1 W c ic. 1.19* 4 .
Feed particle size and poultry: A.M. Amerah et al. accurate descriptor of particle size distribution only when log particle size is normally distributed (Lucas, 2004) and as the hammer mill grinding produces a greater amount of fine particles (Reece et al., 1985), which may confound results.
