Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter.

With the appropriate feed, the AG mill can reduce or eliminate the need for grinding media costs and ...
Read MoreSemi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill. Wet or dry; Higher capacity than A-G mill grinding; Primary, coarse grinding (up to 400 mm feed size) Grinding media is grinding feed plus 4-12% ball charge (ball dia.100- 125 mm) High capacity (short retention time) Less sensitive to feed composition (critical size material) Semi-Autogenous Mill
Read MoreThe feed material is lifted by the shell lining of the mill during rotation. Because of the gravity the material falls down and breaks as a result of the material impact. If the material is very hard or if the crushing is to be accelerated, grinding media can be added to the autogenous mill. In this case we speak of semi-autogenous mills.

Read MoreAn autogenous or semiautogenous circuit, as the name implies, uses the ore itself to assist in the grinding process. In this type of circuit, the ore must be competent so large chunks of ore can be used to grind smaller chunks of ore. https://
Read MoreSemi-autogenous grinding of ore plays a vital role in a mineral processing plant. Since all ores have to be ground before any other process is carried on, any stop of the mill will shut down all downstream processes. Consequently, it will impose a …

Read MoreRely on our proven track record of AG and SAG Mill superiority. Since the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and Autogenous Mill (AG Mill) under the Fuller-Traylor brand. Semi-autogenous grinding uses a minimal ball charge in the range of 6-15% while autogenous grinding uses ore only.

Read MoreSemi Autogenous Grinding Mill an overview. As mined ore is typically less than 0.25 m in size. It is ground to a particle size of 80% passing 100 μm in a semi-autogenous grinding mill then sent on to leaching using sulfuric acid and sulfur dioxide under atmospheric conditions. A schematic flowsheet of this part of the process is shown in ...
Read MoreA new large concentrator unit typically consists of a semi-autogenous grinding mill, high pressure grinding rolls, two ball mills, and a flotation circuit. It can treat up to 170 000 tonnes of ore per day ( Sartain, 2010 ). Larger concentrators consist of …
Read MoreSemi-autogenous Outotec SAG mills, as they are often called, can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening. Often used in grinding at modern mineral processing plants, SAG mills reduce the material directly to the desired final size or prepare it for the following grinding stages.

Read MoreThese mills typically grind ROM ore in a single stage. A large example of such a mill was converted from a single-stage milling application to a semi autogenous ball-mill-crushing circuit, and the application is well described. This refers to high-aspect AG/SAG mills.
Read MoreSAG 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, i.e., the impact of shell liners on the …
Read MoreSAG mills (semi-autogenous milling) is a type of grinding carried out with a small amount of ball charge and with the help of bigger parts crumbling the smaller parts of ore. In addition to being preferred in gold, copper, platinum and silver mines, SAG MILLS are preferred in mines such as lead, zinc, alumina and nickel.
Read MoreTumbling mills are main equipment of mineral industries. These mills with a giant cylindrical configuration with the diameter of 10–12 m are used for the grinding of ores. Semi-autogenous grinding of ore plays a vital role in a mineral processing plant.
Read MoreOver the years the design and operation of single stage autogenous and semi autogenous grinding mills has been a rather hit and miss affair, with some great successes and some dismal failures, with the majority of installation somewhere between. Yet the simplicity, low capital and seemingly simple operation make this a circuit of choice for many.
Read MoreBoth the autogenous grinding mill and the ball mill feed parts are welded with groove and embedded inner wear-resistant lining plate. As the sag mill does not contain grinding medium, the abrasion and impact on the equipment are relatively small. The feed of the ball mill contains grinding balls.
