In the mineral processing sector, a common approach to expanding a SAG mill circuit is the addition of secondary or tertiary crushing to reduce the size of the mill feed. The addition of pre-crushing can increase the throughput of an existing SAG mill circuit by 10% to 30% or more, depending on the nature of the ore and the crushing

Energy Efficient Ball Mill Circuit – Equipment Sizing

BALL MILL CIRCUIT SIZING METHODS The basis for ball mill circuit sizing is still Bond's methodology (Bond, 1962). The Bond ball and rod mill tests are used to determine specific energy consumption (kWh/t) to grind from a given feed 80% passing size (F80) to 80% passing size product (P80). Variations in the original Bond methodology

12th AusIMM Mill Operators' Conference 2014 …

if the ball mill circuit is receiving 500 t/h of ore containing 20 per cent fines and produces 500 t/h of circuit product (eg cyclone overflow) containing 80 per cent fines, the circuit production rate of new fines is: 500 × (80 per cent – 20 per cent), or 300 t/h. Mill power draw (MP) Ball mill power draw is measured during a circuit survey

Ball Mill Design/Power Calculation

The basic parameters used in ball mill design (power calculations), rod mill or any tumbling mill sizing are; material to be ground, characteristics, Bond Work Index, bulk density, specific density, desired mill tonnage capacity DTPH, operating % solids or pulp density, feed size as F80 and maximum 'chunk size', product size as P80 and …

Secrets of the Bond Ball mill grindability test

According to GMG (2021), the feed preparation for the ball mill grindability test should be as follows: Stage crush the ball mill test feed sample and screen through a 3.36 mm (6 Tyler mesh) screen. Avoid over-crushing by screening, then crushing the oversize successively until it all passes the 3.36 mm screen.

Comminution Circuits for Gold Ore Processing

A large example of such a mill was converted from a single-stage milling application to a semiautogenous-ball-mill-crushing (SABC) circuit, and the application is well described (Mainza et al., 2012). This section refers to high-aspect AG/SAG mills.
