Analysis of the Effects of Blasting on Comminution Using ...

Blasted ore is further reduced in size by primary crushers, semiautogenous (SAG) and autogenous (AG) mills. SAG mills have special requirements on feed size distribution, which is influenced by the size distribution of the blasted rock (Esen 2013).The 80% passing size, x 80, is regularly used to evaluate the energy draw in size reduction (Workman and …

Production improvement opportunities in comminution circuits

Application of High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGRs) and implementing hybrid comminution circuits (ie, HPGR-SAG mill) requires proactive control of the feed size distribution to each unit. Application of Vertical Tower Mills (VTMs) and other fine grinding equipment to achieve a finer grind size, while maintaining the throughput, requires ...

Size does matter - SAGMILLING

The CI measurement is not used directly in the power modelling; it is used to predict the particle size distribution (F 80 and F 50) sizes of the SAG mill feed. The net effect of adjusting the particle size distribution is similar to what is observed in the Bond/Barratt model by adjusting the crushing work index which dictates the hardness of ...

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

How HPGRs compare to conventional milling

As a result, ball mills produce a rather wide particle-size distribution (PSD), requiring additional work downstream, while rod mills achieve a lower PSD but produce a coarser product. By comparison the inter-particle compression in a High Pressure Grinding Roll has a more even effect on the entire feed, resulting in a high ratio of fines ...

Effects of ore characteristics on product shape properties ...

Moreover, an increase in ore hardness corresponds to an increase in feed size. Hard ore grinding in the SAG mill resulted in finer products compared to the soft ore milling. In addition, it was found that the products of the soft ore milling were more elongated, angular and less rounded than those of the hard ore milling.

STARTLING EFFECT OF BALL SCATS REMOVAL ON SAG …

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.
