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.

AG/SAG and ball mill circuit data is also very poor. Use of equation 2 shows a very different picture, the results being illustrated in Figure 7. This shows that on average the "M" operating work indices of AG/SAG and ball mill circuits are very similar and hence energy utilisation efficiencies are similar. Also

Our team of product engineers continually improves SAG/AG Mill designs in order to provide the most robust, safe, and efficient grinding ...

Further, the SAG mill circuit was characterized by fluctuating feed size of between x. F, 80 =102 to 185 mm. A need for control of the feed size as well as blending ratios was recommended for an efficient operation in terms of throughput and final product size. This could be achieved through closer monitoring of

Closing the primary mill may result in an improvement in ... rod mill ball mill ball mill SAG mill SAG mill and pebble crush AG mill and pebble crush rock mill (with pebble crush) Secondary Milling ball mill

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 ...
