small charge of steel balls may be added to aid the process — the mill is then called a semi-autogenous (SAG) mill. AG/SAG mills are often used as the first stage in a two- or ple-stage grinding process, where the second stage is carried out by the ball mill, but they can also be used as a one-stage grinder.

Different configurations of SAG, ball and rod mill occur but in general a SAG mill can be considered an intermediate stage in breaking down rock from the crushing plant, and feeding to ball or rod mills for further size reduction.

OPTIMIZATION OF THE MAKE-UP BALL CHARGE IN A GRINDING MILL 239 CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions may be drawn from the present work: ( 1 ) The joint solution of the grinding and ball wear models leads to the con- struction of a graph (Fig. 1 ) showing the performance index (circuit ca- pacity) versus the restriction (steel consumption by ...

Mine-to-mill optimisation: effect of feed size on mill throughput No. 48 SRK Consulting's International Newsletter One of the most valuable aspects of blasting is the generation of very fine particles (e.g., smaller than 12mm) that will pass through the primary mills and onto the secondary ball mill circuits, alleviating a common bottleneck.

Ball Size as Initial Charge. Commercial ball sizes 10 – 150 mm; Number, size and mass of each ball size depends on mill load and whether or not the media is being added as the initial charge. For the initial chargin of a mill, Coghill and DeVaney (1937) defined the ball size as a function of the top size of the feed, i.e., d↓V = 0.40 K√F

STARTLING EFFECT OF BALL SCATS REMOVAL ON SAG MILL PERFORMANCE Malcolm Powell Head Comminution Group, Mineral Processing Research Unit, ... the ball scats from a single-stage SAG mill. These scats are non- ... This work highlights the importance of maintaining a competent ball charge in a mill.
stresses in large SAG mills helped to drive the development of greatly improved liner materials. However, this cost engineering approach ignored the mill performance and overlooked the other key function of mill liners. The second primary function of a liner is to transfer rotary motion of the mill to the grinding media and charge.

Roller press with Ball mill. Ball Mill Ball mills with high efficiency separators have been used for raw material and cement grinding in cement plants all these years. Ball mill is a cylinder rotating at about 70-80% of critical speed on two trunnions in white metal bearings or slide shoe bearings for .
Abstract. An increase of over 10 % in mill throughput was achieved by removing the ball scats from a single-stage SAG mill. These scats are non-spherical ball fragments resulting from uneven wear of balls with included porosity. 30t of scats were removed from a total charge load of 70t.
steel balls in a ball mill, or large lumps of ore in an autogenous mill or a mixture in a semi-autogenous mill, as well as the slurry that makes up the operating charge. Let Jt be the fraction of the mill volume that is occupied by the total charge, Jb the fraction of the mill volume that is occupied by steel balls and E the voidage of the balls
Sep 01, 2012 · Semi-autogenous (SAG) mill performance is influenced by ball charge, feed properties, shell, grate, and pulp lifter design. In the performance study of SAG mill, based on the results obtained it can be observed that SAG mill performed better at feed size .

Ball and ore particles follow Newton's laws of motion. 1. A mill speed approaching 80% of critical can optimize grinding action and reduce wear. A charge with a increased trajectory does less work and more damage as grinding balls are flung against the opposite side of the shell instead of falling down on top of the central mass. 2.
