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.,
SAG mills usually have a larger diameter than length and are used to reduce large feed size ore (typically ~300mm) down to ~3mm, often for further grinding in a secondary process. Ball mills are smaller in diameter than length and can be used in either primary, secondary or tertiary grinding applications to reduce material from ~20mm to very ...

SAG mills, rod mills and ball mills are the classical pieces of grinding equipment employed in gold recovery plants. There is an increasing trend to employ SAG mills (semiautogenous mills) in place of secondary and tertiary crushing and primary grinding. The most common type of rod mill is the overflow mill. There are two typed of ball mills used.
Minding the Grind: Maintenance Options to Keep SAG Mills Turning. Purpose-built structures such as the Skyway system from Russell Mineral Equipment can provide a stable, safe and efficient platform for mill liner bolt removal when compared with the common approach of hanging jackhammers and impact wrenches from a chain hoist.
A Sag mill is most often used in the mining fields, particularly in the mining of precious metals such as gold, copper, silver, and nickel. The sag mill serves in the line of industrial mining equipment designed to process, crush, separate, or locate precious metals from mined coal. The Sag mill is one of the large mining equipment pieces, and ...
SAG mills are characterized by their large diameter and short length as compared to ball mills. The inside of the mill is lined with lifting plates to lift the material inside the mill, where it then falls off the plates onto the rest of the ore charge.
Ball mill: When the particle size of the product is less than 0.5mm, the grinding effect of the ball mill is greater than that of a rod mill of the same specification. SAG mill: The SAG mill has a wide range of feeding particle sizes and can process larger minerals, but at the same time, its output particle size is relatively larger.
Further, the grinding mills can be categorized into three major types — rod mills, ball mills, and SAG mills. So, which one is for you? …
The paper will show how energy measurements from inside an operating SAG mill are now a reality. The paper discusses how the measurements effect and enhance ...
Single stage SAG Mills are very beneficial in reducing CAPEX for plants with a staged throughput approach. When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.
SAG mill control fundamentally means managing the load in the mill by adjusting the feed rate of ore to the mill and/or manipulating the rotational speed of the mill. The best way to measure load is to mount the mill on load cells. The load cells are calibrated to measure the total weight of water, grinding media (balls) and ore in the mill ...
• Increased SAG mill throughput by 13.5% and reduced energy consumption per tonne by 9.3% Location: Minera Los Pelambres Mine • Reduced feed variability by 5.6% • Increased SAG mill throughput by 5.9% and reduced energy consumption per tonne by 5.4% SAG Mill ACE BENEFITS • Automatically account for changes in variation
The crushed pebbles fall directly onto the SAG mill feed belt and return to the SAG mill. SAG mill product feeds two parallel ball mills of 6.6 m×11.1 m (internal diameter×length), each with a 9.7 MW twin pinion drive. The ball mills are operated at a ball charge volume of 30–32% and 78.5% critical speed.
Up until now, tumbling mills such as AG/SAG mills and ball mills have had a dominant bearing on the design and economics of comminution circuits. However, it is commonly agreed that the majority of employed comminution processes are energy intensive and energy inefficient, accounting for up to 80% of overall process plant energy consumption and ...
The grinding process reduces the rock to a slurry. The SAG mill is a large revolving cylinder. Rock is ground by the turning action of the mill, and impact from the hardened steel balls and the rock itself. In order to ensure that the rock is ground finely enough the SAG mill has a trommel screen (5), which acts like a large sieve.

Mill drive arrangement. Mill drives are generally located on the outside of the mill to facilitate maintenance. • Mill discharge arrangement. If the SAG and ball mills feed separate pump systems this is not an issue. If the two stages feed the same pump system, the SAG mill usually drives the discharge arrangement.
AG/SAG mills are often used as the first stage in a two- or multiple-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. The absence of, or reduction in the number of, balls means they can be less costly to operate than ball mills. SAG mills of over 40-foot diameter ...
Control of -SemiAutogenous Grinding(SAG) mill weight is an example of an important process that exhibits many of these aspects. Maintaining the SAG mill weight at the optimum value is critical for achieving maximum grind rate efficiency and mill production (Powell, M.S., van der Westhuizen, A.P., & Mainza, A.N. 2009).

The application. Industrial milling of mined ore – from large rocks and boulders to fine particles – is a demanding process. Massive semiautogenous mills – commonly known as SAG mills – use milling balls, as well as the weight of the ore itself, to break down the ore into smaller particles – a process known as comminution.
