• Increase SAG mill throughput The Solution The operations implemented the Split-ShovelCam, Split-TruckCam and Split-ShovelCam to measure the rock fragmentation from post-blast product to the SAG mill feed. Blast designs were adjusted to measure the changes in rock fragmentation, equipment efficiency, mill efficiency and throughput.

APPLICATION ENVIRONMENT For SAG milling applications, the diameter of the balls, mill and throw action of the charge provide for a high impact environment - therefore a balance must be achieved between abrasion resistance and impact resistance in SAG balls to avoid excessive breakage. ... maximize throughput and increase ...
Read MoreThere is a type of plant where the constant throughput SAG mill is sensible. If the SAG mill is not intended to be the rate-limiting step in a process plant, then it is best to adjust the SAG load (and power) to hold a constant tonnage to satisfy another constraint elsewhere.
Read MoreBy way of example, Craig et al. (1992) developed a throughput-optimizer based on the grind curves of an industrial single-stage closed semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill circuit. It was observed that the maximum throughput occurred at a slightly lower mill filling than where maximum power is drawn.
Read MoreSAG Mill Grinding Circuit Design 911metallurgist. 06/06/2016 Rather than design the SAG circuit with an arbitrary fraction of total circuit power, it is more useful to base the required SAG mill size on the product of the unit power requirement for the ore and the desired throughput.

Read MoreHowever, open circuiting the SAG mill by feeding crushed pebbles directly to a ball-mill circuit is often considered as a technique to increase SAG throughput.
Read MoreTo achieve best performance of downstream processes with the finer ROM, a number of changes and adjustments were made to the crusher, SAG and ball mill circuits. The resulting mill throughput averaged 4,100 mt/h for the three trial blasts and plant throughput above 4,500 mt/h was achieved for several hours during these trials.

Read MoreOptimization has thusly been achieved (McIvor et al., 2000). For media sizing, maximizing the mill grinding rate on a given ore is equivalent to maximizing the mill grinding efficiency. Ores of different grindability will be part of the discussion. As shown below, "mill energy specific cumulative grinding rates" can be calculated. SAG Mill ...
Read MoreWhy the Need to Develop a new SAG Ball? Newer SAG mills are becoming larger and many mills are being operated more aggressively to maximize throughput. Traditional SAG grinding media, when used in these environments can experience higher levels of breakage and spalling. Operators of high-impact SAG mills require tougher SAG balls.
