When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW. Our team of product engineers continually improves SAG/AG Mill designs in order to provide the most robust, safe, and efficient ...
In order to obtain the optimal operation parameters of a SAG mill, in this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate the breakage process of the particles by controlling three ...
To a more significant degree than in other comminution devices, SAG Mill Liner Design and Configuration can have a substantial effect mill performance. In general terms, lifter spacing and angle, grate open area and aperture size, and pulp lifter design and capacity must be considered. Each of these topics has had a considerable amount of …

The minus ½ in. fraction of mill discharge is recycled to the SAG mill through a classifier. The circuit is called SACB: Semi autogenous/ Crusher/Ball mill. In both cases a 7% ball charge volume was used in the mill.
ITP Mining: Three-Dimensional Simulation of Charge Motion in Semiautogenous Grinding (SAG) and Ball Mills for Energy Efficiency Subject: The throughput of grinding mills depends on the motion of the charge within the mills, which in turn, depends on the lifter design and mill speed.

The SAG mill model by proposed by Leonard Austin (1990) was largely based on modifications of earlier tumbling mill models by Hogg & Fuerstenau and F. Bond. The model uses a kinetic-potential energy balance to describe the power draw of a mill charge. ... ε B is the porosity of the rock and ball load (use 0.3) w C is the charge %solids ...
SAG Mill process control classically maintains the SAG mill volumetric filling within a set operating range.
