The design of mill liners and SAG mill discharge grates will have a large effect on how efficiently the mill operates and the circuit throughput. All models generally assume that a mill is fitted with "efficient" liners and that the grate design neither limits passage of pebbles (and pulp) nor permits re-circulation of pulp back into the mill.

Read MoreThe mill product can either be finished size ready for processing, or an intermediate size ready for final grinding in a rod mill, ball mill or pebble mill. AG/SAG mills can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening, a rod mill, and some or all of the work of a ball mill.
Read MorePebble mills use rock pebbles as the grinding media to cause friction and attrition between the pebbles and ore material. Pebble mills may be used when metal balls must be avoided. Autogenous grinding (AG) and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills use the material to be ground as the grinding media. Autogenous grinding mills use larger rocks to ...
Read MoreThe smaller the crush size, the more rapidly the pebble load will be reduced, so we recommend using a heavy, robust crusher, such as the ® TC series, to achieve higher throughput rates in the milling circuit. * McIvor, R. & Greenwood, B.

Read MoreA pebble crusher will receive scats from the SAG mill, crush them and return them to the SAG for further grinding. The process will include a conventional single-line SAG mill circuit (Semi-Autogenous Ball Mill Crushing, or SABC) followed by conventional flotation to produce concentrate for sale.
Read MoreA semi-autogenous (SAG) or autogenous mills (AG) circuit commonly comprises a pebble (cone) crusher to deal with the critical size particles. The pebbles crusher is often oversized, and thus not fully utilized.

Read MorePebble crushing is very topical: as we dig deeper into mines, the ore is getting harder and ore grades are declining, causing the build-up of pebbles in mills to become a greater concern. If pebbles are not dealt with appropriately, they start to occupy a large part of the mill and reduce its processing capacity.
