Read OnThe SAG mill had a 6–8% ball charge and the power consumption was 8 kWh/t, which agreed well with the expected value. 9.6. Problems. 9.1. In an SAG mill the dimensions of the mill were 9.75 m × 3.5 m and the specific gravities of the mineral and that of the balls charged were 4.1 and 7.9, respectively.
Read OnA new ag/sag mill model has been developed which is based on the dynamics of the grinding charge as well as its size distribution and composition. The effects of changes in such operating conditions as feedsize distribution and ball charge level are inherently described within the model as is the effect of changes to the height and shape of the ...

Read OnThe modeling and simulation of semiautogenous (SAG) mills have been widely used in the design and optimization of mill performance in terms of its power draw, processing capacity and product size distribution. However, these models are solved under steady approximation and do not provide any information on mill charge distribution in real time. This paper attempts to …
Read OnAustin SAG Model The SAG mill model by proposed by Leonard Austin (1990) was largely based on modifications of earlier tumbling mill models by Hogg & Fuerstenau and F. Bond. The model is loosely structured as a kinetic and potential energy balance to describe the power draw of a mill charge. The power
