Material is discharged from a semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill using pulp lifters that can also control the charge level in the mill. Installed at the discharge end of the mill, pulp lifters are a radial array of channels separated by channel walls also known as vanes. Each channel is open to the mill at the outer end to allow material inflow ...
Inferential measurements of SAG mill discharge and feed streams and mill rock and ball charge levels are obtained utilising process measurements and recognised process simulation models.
Conventional straight-radial semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill pulp lifters suffer from incomplete discharge of the rockportion of the charge.
and Slurry Flow in Plant-Scale SAG Mills - Reducing Energy Consumption The U.S. mining industry operates approximately 80 semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG) throughout the United States. Both mine and mill site variables determine SAG mill performance, i.e. capacity and grind-size. In many operations these variables affect

Interestingly dropping the open area to the same as that of SAG mill 1, results in the same calculated SDV as SAG mill 1. Figure 3 Mill discharge and load for the Los Bronces mills The 28ft SAG mill 1 has good discharge, with the slurry flowing out in the circled area on the photograph, and the charge being dry on the surface.

Inferential measurements of SAG mill discharge and feed streams and mill rock and ball charge levels, detailed earlier in the series, are utilised in a simulation environment.
You may find more information regarding the SAG discharge if you search them as "scats" (broken ball chips). Safety Notes; they result from internal stresses in the balls impact and heat energy in the SAG mill causing a Martensite transformation in the ball (Crystals form in the metal) and they have a potential to rupture with very sharp edges.
The angle of the mill charge shoulder, OS, is given by: OS =2-COT-2)((0.3386+O.1041O fps)+1.54-2.5673Ofcs~r) (7) While the angle of the mill charge toe, OT, is given by: OT =2.53071.2796-Jrk -e-19.4z(O-fix,))+2 (8) Inferential measurement of SAG mill parameters 579 In consideration of the features of the SAG mill discharge …
shows the throughput versus SAG mill load for two different liner designs and operating loads, and the power draw versus SAG mill load for the Cadia SAG mill (Hart et al., 2001). Both show how the throughput and mill-charge relationship vary for different operations and conditions, and the value of measuring charge volume to maximise throughput.

This plant has a 9.75 · 4.88 m constant speed (10.5 rpm) SAG mill with two 5500 hp motors which could rotate in two directions. In the grinding circuit, a 6.7 · 9.9 m ball mill with two 5500 hp motors works in a closed circuit with 66 cm diameter cyclones. The feed to the SAG mill is under 17.5 cm which is the product of a gyratory crusher.

It ensures smooth and controlled mill operation. Discharge System: The discharge system includes the discharge chute, trommel screen, and trunnion, which allow the ground materials and grinding media to exit the mill while retaining oversized particles for …
In an effort to reduce downtime, increase productivity and increase the milling efficiency of their SAG mill, a leading gold and copper mine in South America conducted side-by-side tests of FL's high-performance, lightweight PulpMax™ Composite Shell Mill Liners and liners from another supplier. It also gave the mine the opportunity to evaluate both …
and the broader holistic approach to mill control are discussed. The ROM SAG mill circuit—a brief description The typical ROM SAG mill circuit is depicted in Figure 1. The circuit is usually closed with either a screen or, more commonly, a cyclone for product size classification. The focus of control can be divided into two parts, viz. the

SAG mill geometry and operating conditions. To explore three dimensional slurry flow in a SAG mill, including discharge through the grates and flow in the pulp chamber, we use a pilot scale Hardinge 6 ft (D) × 2 ft (L) (1.8 m × 0.6 m) mill. The model contains the complete mill geometry including the feed end, the …
