How an issue with SAG mill dischargers become a nine-year-and-counting collaboration. 3 January 2021. With its two SAG mills suffering a range of performance issues, a polymetallic mine in Mexico invited us in to assess the situation. Nine years later and our partnership with the mine had yielded a range of solutions that have significantly ...

The SAG mill power draw model of Austin (using the cali-bration by Doll, 2013) is used to predict the process power draw at the mill shell, Pshell, and the efficiency losses for the drive's mechanical components based on Doll (2012) are used to determine the motor output power, P. The effect of varying the mill speed as a fraction of the critical

45 th ©Annual Canadian Mineral Processors Operators Conference, Ottawa, Ontario, January 22 -24, 2013 INTRODUCTION 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.

AG/SAG mills can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or stages of crushing and screening, a rod mill, and some or all of the work done by a ball mill. All because of the range of mill sizes available, AG/SAG milling extends itself to many applications. Benefits. Circuit Design While the optimum circuit design should be determined ...

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.

a 38' SAG-Mill. The measurements resulted in a modal analysis detecting the real natural frequencies of the Ring Motor. 5.1 Measurement Layout The design engineers defined forty locations of measure-ment points in the stator of the Ring Motor. They designed a mechanical shaker to inject forces and movements to the stator housing.

Mechanical engineers calculate those forces and material scientists how materials deform (elongate, compress, twist) or break as a function of applied load, time, temperature, and other conditions. Materials scientists learn about these mechanical properties by testing materials.

mill speed was not taken into consideration.31 Based on the kinematic characteristics of the steel balls, the colli-sion energy was restudied and recalculated while taking the relative tangential velocity into account. Liu32 Figure 1. Sketch of SAG. Figure 2. Photo of the largest SAG mill (10.37m35.19m). 2 Advances in Mechanical Engineering

SAG mills mimic the same shortcoming. It follows that in order to obtain the specifi c energy (SE) to achieve a certain transfer size, based on the 80 per cent passing value, an ineffi ciency factor must be applied to the SE of single stage ball mills, rod mills or AG/SAG mills when calculating power according to the Bond Third Theory method.

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

sulfite pulp mills because it resists sulfuric acid compounds. Its use has been broadened, however, to handling many chemicals in the process industries. Type 317 contains 3-4% molybdenum (higher levels are also available in this series) and more chromium than Type 316 for even better resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion.

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.

Based on design criticality, past experience and previous failure ... consist of a crusher followed by a SAG mill followed by a ball mill. In this context, the SAG mill and ball mill are considered grinders rather than crushers. Crushers may be used to reduce the size, or change the form, of waste materials so they

could not live anymore without it for SAG mills. Because of economies of scale, and also because of the technological advances in this area, the mill diameter rose up to 40 feet with a drive power of 28 MW. A design of up to 44 feet with a maximum power of 36MW is already available but not yet realized.

SAG mills walk a tightrope of loading efficiency. On the one side, overloaded mills mean inefficient ore reduction, naturally leading to increased energy consumption. On the other side, an underloaded SAG mill leads to an increase in critical impacts, causing damage to critical media and mill liners, and resulting in costly repairs and downtime.

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
