This is a SAG or AG mill plus ball mill model that estimates the specific energy consumption (E SAG) using the 1979 Barratt equation and the classical Bond work index equation including Rowland efficiency factors. The model allows a manual calibration factor on both equations (CF SAG .
AG/SAG SE values to enable the additional power required for AG/SAG milling to be determined. AG/SAG inef ciency varies according to the transfer size fi (T80), whereby the ner sizes have less ineffi ciency than the fi coarser sizes. This means a closed circuit single stage AG/ SAG mill can operate at a reasonable ef ciency if the fi nal fi
"So now we are able to listen to any SAG or AG mill and measure the entire frequency spectrum live from a Type 2250, or a Type 2270, and pass the entire frequency spectrum directly into a control system with no computer. This makes the entire solution simple and .
Every mining operation has a unique grinding process. has experience of over 8,000 grinding mills globally, including manufacturing and delivering the largest SAG/AG mills in the world. Our experts welcome the opportunity to assist you with circuit and circuit control design as well as startup, operation, and optimization of your mill.
Through continuous improvement and the use of advanced technologies like SmartEar™, Pueblo Viejo are improving the control and operation of their SAG mill, resulting in reduced liner wear, more Title: 12th Mill Operators'' Conference 2014 Semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mill co
With improved SAG mill control stability, the mill load can be optimized to ... ANDRITZ AG, Stattegger Strasse 18, 8045 Graz, Austria. BrainWave is a registered trademark in Canada and the USA. ACE (Advanced Control Expert) is a registered trademark in the USA. ... BrainWave: Control solutions for SAG .
milling, where the ability to control the product size is very limited. For a given power draw (kW), the specific energy input in kWh/t input is purely driven by the AG/SAG mill throughput, which in turn is driven by the dynamic of the ore. The traditional approach to measure the .
Single stage SAG Mills are very beneficial in reducing CAPEX for plants with a staged throughput approach. When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. FullerTraylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from through in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.
Similar to the impeller design affecting pump capacity, the pulp lifter design affects the discharge capacity (or mill throughput) of AG and SAG grinding mills. Generally, the discharge from AG/SAG mills consists of one or both of the following components: slurry (water and finer particles) and pebbles (20100 mm).
Page 1 CURRENT TRENDS IN SAG AND AG MILL OPERABILITY AND CONTROL By John Karageorgos1, Paul Genovese2 and Dirk Baas3 1Principal Process Control Engineer, Manta Controls Pty Ltd, South Australia, Australia; 2Senior Process Control Engineer, Manta Controls Pty Ltd, Victoria, Australia; 3Senior Process Control Engineer, Manta Controls Pty Ltd, Brisbane, Australia.
SAG Mill Control: It Shouldn''t be that Hard E MJ. In this case, mill speed is the primary manipulated variable used to control mill load. While there is no generic control strategy for SAG milling there is a considerable amount of reusable engineering.
Oct 01, 2014· Multivariable predictive control. In the present work, a threeinputthreeoutput scheme of control was performed. The total water feed to the mill (the feed water flow rate was added to the dilution water flow rate, so they could be specified separately, but for the SAG mill model, the total water content was the variable of interest), the fresh ore feed rate, and the mill rotation speed ...
Single stage semiautogenous / autogenous (S/AG) milling has become a common design for a variety of ore types with the advantages of being comparatively low capital cost and flexible for future expansion. The single stage SAG/AG milling option is ideal for starter projects with significant exploration and expansion potential. Currently a
SAG Mill Control at Northparkes Page: 2 INTRODUCTION This paper describes the successful implementation of SAG mill control at Northparkes Mines. Control of SAG and AG mills has been considered by many to be the exclusive domain of rulebased expert systems; however this project has proven that more conventional control
Manta Controls ® have developed the Manta Cube ® system where it is available for SAG Mill Control, AG Mill Control, Ball Mill Control, Flotation Control, Thickener Control and CCD Control. Control of other process units are also available.
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. Because of the range of mill sizes available, AG/SAG milling can often be accomplished with fewer lines than in a conventional rod mill/ball mill circuit.
Jan 08, 2016· In this training module, we''ll cover the workings of a semiautogenous grinding mill, or SAG mill, that''s designed to be the first stage of a grinding circuit. Ore that''s crushed in a primary ...
Oct 12, 2017· Today we will learn about difference between sag mill vs ball mill. A mill is a machine by which solid or hard materials are broken into smaller pieces by means of grinding, crushing or cutting.
Jul 22, 2014· SAG is an acronym for SemiAutogenous Grinding, which means that it utilizes steel balls in addition to large rocks for grinding. It has a large diameter and short length. It rotates, tumbling its ...

For a commercial plant with several mills, automation is necessary, using circulating load to control mill feed rate, and mill power to adjust and control media addition. Intermediate rock milling is a practical phase of autogenous grinding, with the advantages of secondary grinding and without the problems of primary grinding.
Understanding the effects of liner wear on SAG mill performance ... Variable Rates 2 AG/SAG mill model ... careful preparation of the tool surface is required as well as careful control of the ...
