A guide to SAG Mill management
A SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mill is a giant rotating cylinder filled with grinding media and the ore being reduced. As the mill rotates, the grinding media lifts and the impact crushes the feed material. SAG mill control refers to the practice of managing the mill load, which is the amount of material inside the mill at any given time.
Wear ofgrinding media in the mineral processing …
wear.Azzaroni (1987) tested differentsize ballsinproduction SAG mills and calculated the wear rate exponent to be 2.8. This implies that SAG balls wear fastest at their full size and wear progressively slower as their mass is decreased. Accepting a wear exponent of 2.8 for SAG mills is valid when describingthe ball's wear when the ball ...
