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 the impact of shell liners on the

The accurate prediction of the outcomes in SAG grinding has been a great challenge to researchers and process operators The use of Discrete Element Methods for modelling charge motion in tumbling
Early work on ball mills by Rajamani 1992 1994 has been followed by Cleary 1998Cleary 2001a and Cleary and Sawley 2002 Similarly SAG mills were modelled by Rajamani and Mishra 1996
Metso has been selected to design and supply a 42 ft x 25 ft x 28 MW gearless SAG mill plus two 26 ft x 42 ft x MW ball mills and two VTM 1500 WB VERTIMILLS ® for Newmont Mining Corporation s Yanacocha Conga copper gold project in Peru The 42 ft diameter SAG mill is the world s largest and is the first of its kind

Sulphide ore was treated through the 32ft SAG mill until August 2011 The SAG mill has treated Mixed ore on two long spells; first from September 2011 to April 2012 and the second recently from June 2014 until July 2015 The liner change was in January 2013 which makes possible to compare the mill it
The mine is closed and now you need to know how to put the SAG or Large Ball Mill in care and maintenance does not have to be complicated to the point where you need bridge erection equipment for lifting a Mill AG/SAG/Rod/Ball You actually need to lift a car higher than a mill All you need to do is jack the mill up about 1/2″
One aim of this work is to investigate how breakage variability may affect SAG mill performance through running several simulations using the JKSimMet software This approach has the potential to characterise comminution characteristics of complex orebodies and transition ore domains that by nature impose large uncertainty on process design and
where m p is in kW; D is internal mill diameter meters L is internal mill length meters ; J is total fractional charge loading of the mill; J B is the fractional mill filling by balls; ε B is the effective porosity of the charge taken as ; ρ s and ρ b are true densities of rock and balls tons per cubic meter respectively; w c is the weight fraction of rock in water and rock in
SAG Mill process control classically maintains the SAG mill volumetric filling within a set operating range Typically a SAG mill weight measurement by either bearing pressure transducers or load cells is used as an inferred measurement of volumetric filling To maintain volumetric filling within a set operating range the SAG weight setpoint use for process control requires regular review
Similar to the impeller design affecting pump capacity the pulp lifter design affects the discharge capacity or mill throughput of AG and SAG grinding mills Generally the discharge from AG/SAG mills consists of one or both of the following components slurry water and finer particles and pebbles 20 100 mm Single stage AG/SAG mills
The SAG mill is often one of the largest pieces of mining equipment and is key for operations Often used in the mining process of precious metals the SAG mills break up solid ore into small pieces for processing We understand the importance of the SAG mill and have the proper tools to accurately monitor the temperature of the mill s motor
As an example Fig 3 shows the relationship between the capital cost and operating cost versus power of the SAG mill Also the following equations show the capital and operating costs for SAG
SAG mill base power was estimated from pilot plant data at kWh/t the basis was a SABC circuit of 8% ball charge Maximum SAG mill power was determined by deducting the installed ball mill pinion power of kWh/t from the maximum overall circuit power of kWh/t to give

Abstract The authors analyze the influence of the semi autogenous SAG mill parameters on the mill grinding efficiency energy consumption and the tangential cumulative contact energy This paper provides a new liner parameter design and optimization method which offers theoretical guidance for the optimization design of liner parameters
An increase of over 10% in mill throughput was achieved by removing the ball scats from a single stage SAG mill These scats are non spherical ball fragments resulting from uneven wear of balls
