Tumbling mills of any kind (ball, rod, AG, SAG, planetary, vibratory, nutating mill, etc.) are used in the mineral industry for size reduction. The process of size reduction in itself is highly energy intensive. For example, a typical 5-m diameter ball mill and a 10-m diameter SAG mill consume around 3–4 MW and 7–8 MW power, respectively.
