autogenous grinding (SAG) mill and a 5.2 meters(17 foot) diameter x 9.4 meters (31 foot) long gear-driven ball mill. Current planning 1foresees installation and operation of the grinding mills in a SABC configuration. The grinding mills have a capacity of processing up to 176.6 dry tonnes per hour, or 3,900 tonnes per day based on 92% availability.
a "SAG Mill limiting" condition, i.e., harder ore, or a "Ball Mill limiting" condition, i.e., softer ore exists. For example, a ratio of 1:1.5 or up to 1:2 would indicate a trend away from processing harder ore types and an increasing bias toward processing softer ore types, whereas a ratio of 1:1 or higher would indicate a bias

The running largest SAG mill is more than 13 meters in diameter, the full automatic control of the SAG mill has already been developed and applied, and now it is being gradually accepted and used in gold industry. Technical Parameters of SAG Mill
Ore and quick lime added to the ore conveyor is fed to the SAG mill at a rate of 350 tph to 480 tph. The SAG mill (Morgardshammer, 8.0 m x 3.95 m, 3.8 MW, fixed speed) uses 125 mm diameter balls as grinding media at an average 10% to 12% charge volume. Water is added to the mill to keep a charge density of 60% to 85%.

The 42ft diameter SAG mill is the world's largest and the first of its kind. The Conga project is at its feasibility stage, and with the engineering and release for fabrication of these mills, Newmont seeks to maintain the option of proceeding with the Conga project with an accelerated schedule.
diameter applications In mining and mineral processing, disman - tling large scale machinery for the replace - ment of seals is time consuming and related downtime costs are considerable. ... SAG mills and their size provide a challeng - ing dilemma. The seal must provide superior
Various ball mill machines, vertical roller mills and sag mills are widely used in the mining industry. Grate ball mills and raw mills are mostly used for mineral processing in some enterprises of mining industries. Wet ball mill and rod mill are commonly used in mineral processing production line, to grind various hardness ore materials.
In this case, an AG or SAG mill may be appropriate. For smaller throughput scenarios, a three-stage crushing plus rod mill plus Vertimill may make the most sense. It all depends on the ore ...
For example, a large 40 foot diameter SAG mill without liners weighs in excess of 3.6 million lbs (1.6 million kg), making it impossible to make, ship, or lift this equipment in one piece. Smaller segments can be assembled at the mine site either through field welding or through bolting.
SAG mills are commonly used in mining fields. From mined coal, it separates out some precious metals. In the mining, some precious metals found are like gold, silver, nickel, and copper etc. Ball Mills: Ball mill is a fine grinder. A horizontal or vertical rotating cylinder which is filled partially with the balls of ceramics, small rocks and ...
As a result, ABB developed three of the largest diameter and most powerful drive systems for a SAG and two ball mills installed at the highest altitude to date. The fully integrated and optimized solution for the grinding circuit consists of: 1 x 28 MW GMD to power the 40 ft SAG mill. 2 x 22 MW GMDs to power two 28 ft ball mills.
CITIC HIC manufacture a full range of Grinding Mills for the Mining Sector. Our largest mills has been delivered to SINO Site to date are Ø12.2m x 11m 28MW Gearless Drive AG Mills and Ø7.9m x 13.6m 2x8 MW Twin Pinion Drive Ball Mills. These mills are scheduled of start up on 2012. Our market share in China exceeds 80% with the largest mills ...
The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
Figure 4 - Conceptual model of a SAG mill The model utilises the concept that breakage within a mill is dependent upon specific breakage energy. This in turn is related to the mill dimension and a grinding medium size which is a characteristic of the ball charge (if any) and rock charge. The relationship between specific breakage energy and the ...
The order comprises a 22-foot diameter by 8-foot effective grinding length (egl) SAG mill and 14.5-foot diameter by 19.5-foot effective grinding length ball mill. Both mills will be driven by 2000 KW, low speed synchronous motors at 78% critical speed.
SAG mill. SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. The largest SAG mill is 42' (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor.
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
Jervois Mining has appointed Outotec to undertake engineering and fabrication of a SAG mill for its Idaho Cobalt Operations (ICO) in Idaho, USA, which remains on track for first production from mid-2022. Jervois awarded a contract for the design, fabrication and delivery of a 4.7-m-diameter and 2.5-m-long 750 kW SAG mill.
In a mining plant or processing mill, they have a big grinding circuit for crushing raw material, these are usually Ball or SAG mills. Inside these Sag/Ball mill are big steel balls that grind ore via an impact process. In simple terms, these hard metal steel balls get to the top of the rotating chamber and fall down crushing the ore being ...
Working with a 7.32 m diameter and 3.66 m long mill Napier-Munn et al [4] observed that the breakage rate for the finer size fractions of ore (say 0.1 mm) at lower speeds (eg. 55% of the critical speed), were higher than that observed at higher speeds (eg. 70% of the critical speed).
