29 kWh/t of SAG pinion energy to achieve 1.7mm T80) represented the correct design hardness for the NICO project mills. And whether the total pinion energy (SAG plus ball mill) was sorted by increasing SAG, or by increasing total pinion energy, the result was the same.

The design of such circuits is complicated by the typical power-based models used for conceptual design being calibrated to a two-stage circuit with AG or SAG mill product being passed to a pebble mill or ball mill stage for finished grinding. The two-stage circuit includes a "transfer size"

This new method was developed to allow design engineers to create meaningful grinding circuit designs early in the project development cycle at or before the feasibility study stage so that any problems or uncertainties could be addressed as part of the feasibility study.

crushers to SAG circuits, on both greenfield and retrofit projects, to increase feed rate to the SAG mill. In other words, crushing plants, from primary to quaternary circuits, are here to stay. There are three main steps in designing a good crushing …

mills in the older plants that had many mills in parallel. In fact this is generally still the case in the multi-stream plants, where mill liner design and selection is only tackled on a cost consumables basis. However, the gains to be had through good liner design and selection are just as great as on the large SAG mills.

other and how they can be used to obtain an accurate design for the grinding mills required for the Tenke Project. This is the first published direct comparison between JK Drop Weight, standard bond work indices, and SAGDesign test results. The SAGDesign test includes a SAG test followed by a Bond BM Wi test done on SAG ground material ...

The discharge grates of the SAG mill were identified as a key component in the SABC circuit, and their design is a crucial factor in the mill's performance [17,18,19,20,21]. The initial design of the grate section caused a serious accumulation of pebbles within the SAG mill which contributed to a decreased grinding efficiency.

Table 4 – SAG Mill Simulation Results Design Throughput (t/hr) P80(mm) P50(mm) Power(kW) kWh/t 1 1250 3.21 0.69 12750 10.2 2 1420 3.13 0.65 12755 9.0 3 1480 3.11 0.63 12749 8.6 As can be seen a significant increase in throughput is obtained with Design 2 with further, though proportionately much less, improvement with Design 3.

Geometric design for transportation facilities includes the design of geometric cross sections, horizontal alignment, vertical alignment, intersections, and various design details. These basic elements are common to all linear facilities, such as roadways, railways, and airport runways and taxiways. Although the details of design standards

The mill has an unfavourably close liner spacing, with 40 rows of liners in an 18ft mill. The SAG mill drilling would conventionally be 34 rows, and this is too many ( Powell et al, 2006). These ...

Step 2: SAG Mill Rock Charge The SAG mill rock charge properties (SMRC) and size distribution (smrc) are estimated by the reverse-

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 selection of SAG and ball milling sizes and configurations for new projects is complicated by limited grinding characterisation data. When the difference between design methods used by different consultants reaches a factor of 2, it is time to stop and review the techniques used. This paper will examine new information that is relevant to designing and maximizing the …

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., the impact of shell liners on the …

Air-swept mill and single-compartment mill These mills are used to grind very moist materials that need to be dried using low-temperature air. If the relevant explosion-protection equipment is used, air-swept mills are optimally suited for grinding solid fuels, such as coal or petcoke. Single-compartment mills are of a similar design to air-swept

Wills and Napier-Munn (2006) describe the design and operation of SAG mills. SAG mills are currently the technology of choice in hard rock milling operations for reducing primary-crushed ore to ball mill feed. In recent years, the trend has been towards larger-sized SAG mills with diameters of 10.4 m

SAG MILL DISCHARGE SCREENS-TROMMEL vs. VIBRATING Tony Moon, RTZ What I'd like to talk about is probably one of the nastiest bits of mill design for a grinding circuit, and that is the choice of what do you use on a SAG mill discharge? Do you use vibrating screens or trommel screens? What many of you probably don't realize is that at

Developments in SAG Mill Design and Operation Over the last few years, SAG mill manufacturing technology has advanced rapidly. The bounds of mill size have been pushed from two directions. Firstly, the advent of ring motors has removed the constraint applied by the power that a single pinion gear was able to transmit.

Figures 8 and 9 on the right show results from a gold plant's SAG mill achieved with MillStar's Segregated Ore Feed Controller combined with the Power Optimiser: • The standard deviation of the mill feed control is greatly reduced. • The cyclone feed …

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).

As typically operated in RSA. 6 SAG mill (configurations 3, and 5 ) with recycle crusher Competent ores, better suited to coarse grind sizes as circulating loads can be high 7 SAG mills treating partially or fully

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.

Involve us during design stage to optimize cost and performance in component design. Engineering changes can be costly. While stamping offers precision and good reproducibility, consideration must be given to the amortization of tooling costs over the lifespan of production. Larger quantities typically justify more sophisticated tooling. Blanking:

• autogenous, SAG, rod and ball mills • screens • hydrocyclones. To achieve valid results, the user must test the model against available plant data. Once the model has been tested and has been found satisfactory, it can be used to optimize a particular design or operation. JKSimMet has been in wide commercial use for 15 years.
