The combined power draw of the SAG mill and ball mill was 8658 kW, which caused partial over-grinding. From experience in processing plants outside of China, the power rating of the ball mill should be higher than that of the SAG mill [5]. The pebble crusher had an over-powered configuration. The installed power draw of 630 kW
Read OnSAG Mill power draw models are used in mill design and grinding circuit modelling to predict how much power will be consumed by a particular mill geometry and operating configuration. This paper will compare SAG mill models by Morrell, Loveday (using "Power Numbers" published by Barratt) and Austin against several published mill surveys.
Read OnA further explanation is required to explain the importance of designing the SAG mill chamber to draw required power at optimum operating conditions of 75% critical speed and less than 30% by volume load. Recent studies in the three-foot diameter SAG mill are instructive. The following graph shows the relevant facts as Figure 2.
Read OnThe 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
Read OnWAG/SAG, WBM are the respective power draw of AG/SAG and ball mills. Note that the ball mill operating work index is applied only on the portion that needs the additional grinding (Q2), which renders to the AG/SAG mill the credit for the fraction of the material that had been already ground to final product (Q1).
Read OnIt is imperative to ensure the efficient removal of both slurry and coarse pebbles (critical size) in order to ensure the efficient operation of AG/SAG mills. Elimination of the above mentioned material transport problems will allow the mill to respond truly in terms of power draw for changes in mill load which depends on feed ore characteristics.
