As one of the machines widely used in mining, a semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill can significantly improve the roughing efficiency of rock. But the SAG mill still faces the obstacles of significant energy consumption and empirical operation parameters. In order to obtain the optimal operation parameters of a SAG mill, in this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate the ...
Abstract: Semi‐autogenous (SAG) mills are widely used grinding equipment, but some ore with critical particle sizes cannot be effectively processed by SAG mills and turned into pebbles. This research aims to analyze and compare the properties of raw ore and pebbles from a zinc‐ and tin‐
bling mills (AG/SAG, rod, and ball mills) involved in reducing the size of the primary crusher product to that of the final product (usually the cyclone overflow of the last stage of grinding prior to flotation/leaching). 2. Feed rate to the circuit (dry tonnes/h) 3. Power draw of the comminution equipment (kW)
A total of 120 t of Cristalino ore was prepared and sent to CIMM, where it was crushed and screened prior to grinding tests. The processing equipment included a m (8′) diameter by m (2′) length AG/SAG mill equipped with a 20 kW motor, a cone crusher, a m (3′) diameter by m (4′) length ball mill equipped with a 15 kW ...
Pebble Crusher Project Construction to commence in Q1 2023. Will increase scatts crushing capacity from 120 tph to 380 tph. ... Mineralisation is associated with the presence of sulphides and quartz veining and within ironrich mafic units. The trend of the main zone of mineralisation is steeply dipping (65 º 75 º) to the east with either ...

20' EGL SAG mill, a Raptor 900 pebble crusher and two 24' x 39'6" ball mills. Each mill is equipped with a 2 x 8500HP dual pinion drive system. The plant was designed to process 1585 h mtpof SAG feed. From startup, the mill struggled to meet the required production rates. Over time, a major initiative that involved
The crushed product is combined with the SAG mill feed. Project economics dictated maximum throughput through a single line comminution circuit. Hence the selection of some of the largest ... the pebble crusher feed rate. Monzonite Bond ball mill work indices (Wi) averaged /t, with a maximum variation of ±9%. The inferred average ...
HPGR test results published by Grier (1992) on gold ores from the Mt. Todd project showed significant energy savings for a HPGR/Ball Mill circuit as compared to a SAG/Ball Mill plant. By adding a Polycom highpressure grinding roll, the throughput of existing plants can be increased by as much as 150% while simultaneously reducing the power ...

HPGR crushing may provide a profitable alternative or addition to a grinding circuit allowing the crushed pebbles to be bled to the subsequent downstream ball mill grinding and beneficiation...
The grinding circuit consists of a semiautogenous (SAG) mill with a pebble crusher followed by two ball mills. The SAG mill is unusual, with a low aspect ratio similar to ... In order to deliver this capacity increase, management initiated a drilltomill project in July 2018. EM'S drilltomill methodology has delivered significant benefits ...
example, a pebble crusher is added during the return of pebbles to the SAG mill + ball mill (SAB) grinding process, which is an improved version of the SAG mill + ball mill + crusher
Batu Hijau is an openpit coppergold mine located on the island of Sumbawa in the province of West Nusa Tenggara, about 1,500 kilometres east of Jakarta. It is the second largest copper and gold mine in Indonesia and has produced more than 8 billion pounds of copper and over 8½ million troy ounces of gold since production commenced in 2000.
A pebble crusher is the way to go for a greenfields project. SAG mill grates generally limit pebble extraction rates to around 25%, so you can't expect a throughput increase of more than 510% depending on the ore. To pebble crush, you need to port the grate. This removes any fine media, so achieving a fine grind size in a single stage becomes ...

Optimise your pebble crushing with HPGR. High Pressure Grinding Rolls offer an energyefficient way to crush pebbles and alleviate bottlenecks caused by mills struggling to reduce the stubborn particles of hard ore. Whether recirculated through primary milling or separated and sent to a dedicated downstream pebble mill, pebble crushing is an ...
The SAG mill was designed to treat 2,065 t h −1 of ore at a ball charge of 8% volume, total filling of 25% volume, and an operating mill speed of 74% of critical.

A semiautogenous (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.
SAG mill there will be either steel balls or harder ore as grinding media . There may not be any cone crusher for grinding the vibrating screen oversize and the same is recirculated back to SAG .If the mine has also harder ore and majority softer ore, the harder ore may be utilised as grinding media after size reduction with necessary intermediate bin.
