Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill. Wet or dry; Higher capacity than A-G mill grinding; Primary, coarse grinding (up to 400 mm feed size) Grinding media is grinding feed plus 4-12% ball charge (ball dia.100- 125 mm) High capacity (short retention time) Less sensitive to feed composition (critical size material)Web

to mimic the grinding mechanisms observed in industrial units. The best examples of this can be observed in the Bond series, where ball mills, rod mills, and crushers are tested using similar laboratory-scale apparatuses. Similarly, the MacPherson and media competency tests were designed to mimic autogenous grinding mechanisms.Web

If the grind is too fine, the grinding costs will exceed any increment in recovery (and may even reduce recovery depending on the separation process). A standard crushing and grinding circuit is shown in Figure 1. It is commonly referred to as a SABC circuit, for Semi-Autogenous Ball mill Crusher (SABC).Web

SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. [6] [7] The largest SAG mill is 42′ (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor. [8] A SAG mill with a 44 ...Web

Ball mills generally have a length to diameter ratio in the range of 1.5 to 1.0. An economic form of grinding used in many newer and higher production plants is the autogenous grinding mill. In this mill, the rock is allowed to crush against itself as it cascades in the mill, thus saving the cost of replacing steel balls as they become worn down.Web

A semi-autogenous mill is a type of grinding mill that uses grinding balls and ore or rock fragments as grinding media. The grinding is done by the impact of the rocks or ore particles on themselves or on the grinding media, thus breaking the ore into smaller particles. Semi-autogenous mills use a minimal ball charge of 6 to 15%.Web
