I-301 I-302 INTRODUCTION The Mount Isa Copper Concentrator grinding circuit currently consists of two 32' x 16' semi-autogenous (SAG) mills, each powered by two 3.2 MW motors, followed by two 16'6" x 20' ball mills powered by 2.6 (1) MW motors.
Accurate measurement of the internal parameters of ball mill is crucial and indispensable for optimization and control of grinding process. In this paper, a novel tri-sensor measurement method was used to measure the external signals (i.e., bearing pressure, sound intensity and power consumption) of ball mill.
8.1 Grinding 8.1.1 Grinding action Industrial grinding machines used in the mineral processing industries are mostly of the tumbling mill type. These mills exist in a variety of types - rod, ball, pebble autogenous and semi-autogenous. The grinding action is induced by relative motion between the particles of media - the rods, balls or pebbles ...
Autogenous grinding tests were run in a 10-ft x 4-ft Rockcyl mill. The principle of prepared feed and media was utilized to determine how coarse a feed could be commercially fed to a rock mill. Secondary rock milling was expanded toward the particle sizes of primary milling while still utilizing the practices of secondary milling.

Abstract The authors analyze the influence of the semi-autogenous (SAG) mill parameters on the mill grinding efficiency, energy consumption and the tangential cumulative contact energy. This paper provides a new liner parameter design and optimization method, which offers theoretical guidance for the optimization design of liner parameters.
a primary crushing stage with a gyratory crusher and a two grinding circuits using a Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill and a ball mill. The SAG mill circuit also includes a single-deck screen and a cone crusher while the ball mill circuit utilizes hydrocyclones.
optimisation of pulp lifters affects not only the energy efficiency and throughput of autogenous grinding/semi-autogenous (AG/SAG) grinding mills, but also contributes other process benefits such as improved wear life and operator-friendly steady and smooth mill operation.
Where in conventional rod and ball mill plants there are usually 3 to 4 stages of crushing followed by 1 to 3 stages of grinding, depending on ore fineness and hardness, primary autogenous plants require only one stage of crushing followed by 1 to 2 stages of grinding.
Semi Autogenous Grinding Mill An Overview A sag mill of diameter 9.0 m and width 6.0 m was charged to 40 of the mill volume with ore of sg 3.2 when the porosity was 38. with grinding time the ball load changed from 10 to 5 and the bed porosity to 12. estimate the change in power due to the change in mill conditions. the mill was run ...
Northparkes installed and commissioned a secondary crushing circuit in 2010 to debottleneck the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill constrained grinding circuits. Following further improvements to the circuit (inclusion of a double deck vibrating screen), the project successfully delivered finer feed to the SAG mill. The result of this project was an increase in the milled …

Intermediate autogenous grinding can efficiently replace the rod mill and ball mill stage of a conventional grinding circuit. The need was shown for closed circuit operation of the last stage of crushing to control the top size of the mill feed. A reasonable rate ratio between media and total mill feed was established.
Grinding 20 kwh/t 100 $3.75/t 25 In the last 20 years grinding circuit design has undergone considerable change and has seen the rise in popularity of autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mills to the point where it is rare to find a comminution circuit where they are not used. This trend has enabled unit throughput size to increase
