WhatsApp: +86 18203695377A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. The largest SAG mill is 42' () in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor. A SAG mill with a 44' () diameter and a power of 35 MW (47,000 HP) has been designed. Attrition between grinding balls and ore particles causes grinding of ...

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.

There are reasonable correlations between all the tests' data that generally allow any or all of the data to be used to design a SAG mill based grinding circuit for 'typical' ores of a moderate competence range. Issues have arisen where the expected SAG mill specific energy is greater than 10 kWh/t.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The correlation between the AG/SAG and ball mill circuit data is also very poor. Use of equation 2 shows a very different picture, the results being illustrated in Figure 7. This shows that on average the "M" operating work indices of AG/SAG and ball mill circuits are very similar and hence energy utilisation efficiencies are similar. Also
