Adoption of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding (AG/SAG) would lead to a significant simplification alternative to such plants. Within the scope of AG/SAG grinding, several approaches can be used in size reduction. For instance, the mill may be operated in the absence of steel grinding media (AG) or with steel balls (SAG) (Gupta and Yan, 2016).

In semi-autogenous grinding (SAG), the grinding mill inventory, (i.e. volume of total charge, volume of ball charge, etc.) is important in determining the optimum operating condition for maximum production (tph), minimum specific energy (kwh/t) or lowest cost ($/t). A two-dimensional graphical method is presented for determining the actual ball charge within the …

Coarse Grind – Coarser than 80% passing 106 µm. If determined to be reasonably power-efficient, single stage SAG milling is likely to be the most profitable grinding circuit design. 2. Medium Grind – 80% passing size between 106 and 75 µm. To mill in single stage SAG configuration, the feed must be consistent, not too coarse or too fine. The

Since the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and Autogenous Mill (AG Mill) under the Fuller-Traylor brand. Semi-autogenous grinding uses a minimal ball charge in the range of 6-15% while autogenous grinding uses ore only. SAG and AG Mills operate by lifting ore/grinding media and dropping it on ...
