Measurement of Steel Ball Impacts Inside a SAG Mill

These mills use steel balls that go up to 6.5" in diameter and have a high risk of fracturing the internal linings of the mill. Potential impacts of the steel balls against the mill lining will be generated if the rotational speed of the mill is greater than that required for the ball to fall on the ore rock and fracture it.

Customised liner solution boosts SAG mill throughput and …

The steel dischargers on the SAG mill comprised 187 pieces. Not unsurprisingly, this led to lengthy downtimes for component replacement. Making the situation worse: the discharger service life was a relatively short 12 months. Inadequate liner service life. The SAG mill's steel liners were failing to meet the required service life.

AG – Autogenous & SAG Semi-Autogenous Mill Design Calculations

The ore charge contained within the conical ends of course must also be considered in calculating the total charge weight. Figures 3a and b, and 4a and b show a typical print-out of mill cylinder and cone charge weight for an autogenous and semi-autogenous mill. The total charge weight is the sum of cylinder and conical charge …
