To achieve SAG mill equipment optimization, you should combine practical experiencewith pass-or-fail evaluation studies that modulate project resources or operational conditions. We do not recommend that you carry out a project only with in-the-field trial- and-error-testing.

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.
The Grinding Circuit Optimization Challenge. The Ball Charge in SAG and Ball Mills, in other words, the fraction of the mill volume constituted by balls, has a significant impact on the performance of a mill and the greater Grinding circuit. Running at the wrong Ball Charge adversely impacts not only throughput but the consistency of the ...
If the mill feed setpoint is changed, then the actual feed rate needs to stabilise at the new target in a short period of time. The feed rate setpoint can then be tied into a SAG mill power optimisation strategy. SAG mill discharge control is quite involved due to few interactive variables, such as mill discharge sump level, classification ...
Predictive Optimization of SAG Mill Wear Using Rocky Rocky DEM helps predict liner wear and fine-tuning optimum conditions for SAG mill operation . Share this No one in industry is happy with downtime losses incurred due to a machine that won't operate. In the mining sector, these losses can be particularly large.
Optimization of mill performance by using online ball and pulp measurements Soon after a stop, a mill is a dangerous place to enter for the personnel tasked with taking measurements or samples. Crash stops are difficult to handle. The mill and all feed streams should be stopped simultaneously but, often, they are stopped around about the same time.
support and optimisation for the SAG mill on site. In 2016 Tritton treated 220 tph, with a feed grade of approximately 1.67% copper. The challenge In coversation with the Tritton team in 2017 the Minerals team learnt that the site was ready to increase the efficiency of the SAG mill even further. Tritton tasked the Minerals mill

The operation of AG/SAG mills is sensitive to mill filling, therefore developing grindcurves to relate mill filling to performance indicators such as throughput, power draw, and product size can assist in achieving optimal mill operations. The throughput, power draw, and product size have been shown to peak at different mill filling levels.
GrindingExpert™ SAG Mill The GrindingExpert solution will automatically adjust feed rate, mill speed and water addition to reduce upsets, eliminate grind-outs and increase tonnage in SAG / ball mills. Secondary grinding can be optimised as well with automation on cyclones and pumps. This grinding expert solution is an add on to LoadIQ. Benefits
SAG mill optimization insights by measuring inside the mill *P. Shelley, I. Molina, D. Patsikatheodorou Presented at Procemin GEOMET 2019 ABSTRACT The paper shows how measurements from inside an operating SAG mill are now a reality. The paper discusses how the measurements might affect and enhance energy efficient mill optimisation.
This paper is based on the kinetic theory of ore and steel balls in the SAG Mill and theoretical research of power consumption. Orthogonal method is taken to design experimental plan while effective power of the SAG Mill, collision times between steel balls and the SAG Mill and collision times between steel balls and ore are designed as optimal objectives.

Before the change, the SAG mill power utilisation was about 65.1%. This increased to 72.4% post the grate change. An analysis of production data following the change in 2016 showed 80% SAG mill power utilisation. Comparing pre and post optimisation production datasets, the impact of the changes became apparent.

As a result, mines have shifted their emphasis in optimization from ball mills to SAG mills. The rock load in the mill essentially depends on ore characteristics and the discharge rate of broken particles through the discharge end. The discharge rate depends on how efficiently the discharge pump (grate and pulp lifters) operates.

Fig. 3 illustrates the expected throughput response of a generic SAG mill based on simulations conducted by Morrell (Powell et al., 2001) for a range of ore hardness, AG/SAG operation, open circuit (oc) and closed circuit (cc) operation.These curves show how the mill response and operation is sensitive to the ore type and ball loading conditions. Clearly this …
Figure 6: Mill Optimisation Control Strategy. MillSTAR. THROUGHPUT OPTIMISATION. SEGREGATED ORE FEED CONTROL (Feed Ratio Optimisation) On milling plants fed by a segregated feed supply, such as a stockpile, the varying size and hardness of the mill feed material affects the residence time in the mill and the power drawn.
After closed-circuit secondary crushing, the SAG mill feed 80% passing (F80) size was 25 mm to 30 mm. Installed grinding power is split equally between the two mills with the SAG mill fitted with a variable speed drive (VSD). SAG discharge screen oversize ('pebbles' or 'scats') was recycled through an 185 kW pebble crusher.
