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.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The apparent inefficiency of SAG mills when using Bond analysis is widely understood to be due to the difference in the slopes of the size distributions. In contrast, when the SSE75 was calculated, it showed the SAG mill consumed 20% less energy to produce final product material than the ball mill. Since the aim of a comminution circuit is to ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The breakage rate function shape of the SAG mill is largely governed by the mill load particle size distribution and mill speed. The feed in the mill contains fractions of ore that serves as the grinding media. Larger ore fractions break the smaller particles but also breakdown themselves and exit the mill as a product.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377To predict the power of the SAG mill, Hoseinian et al. proposed an analytical model based on gene expression programming. To develop their model, they employed several tests by varying the SAG mill parameters such as the moisture of charge, mass flow rate, cell weight of mill load, solid percentage and inlet and outlet water to the SAG mill.

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Decisionmaking on selection of SAG mills increasingly uses the methods of sizing the milling power based on laboratory tests on grindability of minerals. This article considers one of such methods allowing determination of mill characteristics based on the Bond work indexes of crushing, rod milling and ball milling.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In a largescale operation, feed ores are introduced into the AG/SAG mill in a continuous mode at a given flow rate to replace the discharging slurry. Nonetheless, the variations in the feed characteristics, typically hardness and size distribution, could cause sudden disruption to the mill operation. This would be challenging to detect in practice, owing to the hostile environment of the mill ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Then, in the late 1980s when the price of copper rose quickly from a low of /lb to a high of /lb, this substantial increase in price further fuelled the industry demand for larger diameter SAG mills, with mill power quickly doubling from 15,000hp to 30,000hp (11,00022,000kW). As SAG mills grew in size and number, so did the size and ...
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Based on experience, millliner designs have moved toward more openshell lifter spacing, increased pulp lifter volumetric capacity, and a grate design to facilitate maximizing both pebblecrushing circuit utilization and SAG mill capacity. As a guideline, mill throughput is maximized with shell lifters between ratios of :1 and :1.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Semiautogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diametertolength ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ballmilling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter. These
