WhatsApp: +86 18037808511Introduction. Semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mills are presently one of the most widely used alternatives in the field of mineral size reduction as a result of their comparative advantages, such as higher processing capacity, lower physical space requirements, and lower investment and maintenance costs, as compared to conventional circuits.
WhatsApp: +86 18037808511Introduction. Autogenous/Semiautogenous (AG/SAG) grinding mill operation is aimed at reducing ore size from several millimetres ( 5250 mm) to considerable microns ( 10300 µm) together with mineral liberation, suitable for downstream preconcentration and extraction processes (AmankwaaKyeremeh et al., 2021, Asamoah et al., 2020 ...
WhatsApp: +86 18037808511Among the different grinding processes, Autogenous (AG) and SemiAutogenous (SAG) mills are widely used for ore size reduction. The main difference between these two mills is the use of steel balls as grinding media, typically in the order of 612% in volume (Sbarbaro et al., 2005), in the SAG mills.

WhatsApp: +86 18037808511Semiautogenous (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 tinbearing ore. The results show that the contents of sphalerite, cassiterite, biotite, antigorite, pyroxferroite ...
WhatsApp: +86 18037808511Mill Sizing: After laboratory and pilot plant testing confirm the feasibility of autogenous or semiautogenous grinding, it can be used to establish the exact grinding circuit and mill size. In the pilot plant tests, the tare power of the pilot plant mills should be determined before and after each test run.
WhatsApp: +86 18037808511The choice of classification method used is size dependent and moderated by the mill capacity. There are numerous examples in the bauxite industry of closure with sieve bends at product sizes around mm. At intermediate sizes, around mm, horizontal cyclones are used. (eg. Cobar Mines, Waihi, Mt Keith).

WhatsApp: +86 18037808511SAG mills, or SemiAutogenous Grinding mills, use a combination of steel balls and rock particles to grind ore. They are larger in size and are capable of grinding larger quantities of ore than AG mills. SAG mills are often used in conjunction with a ball mill or pebble mill to achieve the desired grind size.
