The model is equally applicable to ball-, semi-autogenous and autogenous mills and contains a description of the power draw of both the cylindrical section and the cone-ends. Differences between ...
Rely on our proven track record of AG and SAG Mill superiority. Since the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and Autogenous Mill (AG Mill) under the …
The semi-autogenous mill is a new type of grinding equipment with both crushing and grinding functions. It has the advantages of simple process flow, small investment, short construction cycle, and easy operation. It can directly grind raw materials or coarsely crushed materials to 0.074mm.
When an ore is hard and competent, there is always the possibility that it would make good "pebbles" which could be used for fine grinding media. Different methods that have been tried using combinations of autogenous, semi-autogenous, pebble and/or ball mills. The flowsheets …
In this paper, we develop a state space model of semi-autogenous (SAG) mill systems, which is of great significance to the mineral processing control. According to the practical enterprise ...
This paper investigates the implementation of a model-based predictive control (MPC) strategy to improve the performance of a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill in a uranium mineral processing plant.

Predicting the Specific Energy of Autogenous and Semi-autogenous Mills from Small Diameter Drill Core Samples S.Morrell SMCC Pty Ltd E-mail: steve@smccx ABSTRACT A rock breakage test has been developed that can help predict autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mill performance in situations where only limited …
Semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are widely used grinding equipment, but some ore with critical particle sizes cannot be effectively processed by SAG mills and turned into pebbles. This research aims ...
Mill powers of the semi-autogenous mill have an effective influence on the mill performance. In this study, the mill power model was developed for the full-scale …
The successful application of modelling and simulation in design and optimisation rests heavily on having a model which is lifelike. In the case of autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mills this has provided a significant challenge to modellers, due in part to the interaction between feed characteristics and mill …
The harsh and hostile internal environment of semi-autogenous (SAG) mills renders real-time monitoring of some critical variables practically unmeasured. Typically, feed size fractions are known to cause mill fluctuations and impede the consistent processing behaviour of ores. There is, therefore, the need for continuous monitoring of …
A milling circuit consists of a primary SAG (semi-autogenous grinding) mill that is in open circuit. The product from the SAG mill is fed to the ball mill, with the product from the ball mills being classified in cyclones. The underflow from the cyclones is recycled, with the overflow forming the feed to the flotation circuit.The milling circuit
SAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., …

Close circuiting autogenous and semi-autogenous mills is an energy efficient way of grinding and a number of operations have utilised this in the design of their comminution circuits. Owing to the large flow of slurry through the mill that results from operating this way the grates and pulp lifters have to be designed to cope. However, the literature has …
Large-diameter autogenous and semi-autogenous grinding mills represent the primary thrust of the expanding grinding technology. In spite of initial difficulties, large autogenous and semiautogenous mills have reached an acceptable level of technology that provides the mineral engineer with a reliable, low cost means of ore comminution.A successful …
In modern mineral processing, semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are important grinding equipment. A SAG mill has the advantages of high operation rate, large output, and large crushing ratio, which makes …
Semi-autogenous mill has flexible loop, is highly adaptable to ore, and can process soft, hard, wet, viscous, dense, or loose ore. Compared with conventional grinding loop, semi-autogenous mill has the advantages such as lower investment, slightly lower production cost, simple process, use of large equipment, less need for manpower, and low ...
This paper discusses, and is centered on the Appendix of this paper that compiles all Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous mill …
Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter. These

Mill Sizing: After laboratory and pilot plant testing confirm the feasibility of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding, it can be used to establish the exact grinding circuit and mill size.In the pilot plant tests, the tare power of the pilot plant mills should be determined before and after each test run. The tare power should be for the empty mill.
