Circuit perfomance for a sag mill

Mar 09, 2018 Modeling SAG Mill Performance. Prior to embarking on the development of any type of high level control strategy, a series of tests is required to determine the nature of the relationships between SAG mill throughput, load (as measured by bearing pressure and measurements inside the mill) and power draw (amps and/or kilowatts)

AG/SAG Mill Circuit Grinding Energy Requirement - How to Predict it from Small Diameter Drill Core Samples Using the SMC Test Stephen Morrell . SMCC Pty Ltd., Queensland, Australia . ABSTRACT The SMC Test has been developed to provide a rock breakage description that can be used to predict autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (SAG) mill performance

by the installation of a 12MW SAG mill with a diameter of 10.97m (36ft). The mill, when built, was the largest SAG mill operating at any existing Australian mine. To aid in commissioning and optimising the mill, the Julius Krutt- schnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) and plant staff con- ducted extensive surveys of the grinding circuit

A single SAG mill/ball mill circuit based on the FDW mill sizing was . ... SAG mill parameters and performance for three designs. Standard Blast #2014-003 Design . 270-2 Design

Mill power draw models SAGMILLING COM. The design of mill liners and SAG mill discharge grates will have a large effect on how efficiently the mill operates and the circuit throughput All models generally assume that a mill is fitted with efficient liners and that the grate design neither limits passage of pebbles and pulp nor permits re circulation of pulp back into the mill

Jan 01, 2014 The paper proposes a novel performance audit report for a SAG Mill Circuit. The audit report is demonstrated on a validated run-of-mine ore grinding circuit model, which the authors have captured in a simulator, using Simulink. The elements of the report combine established statistics and views with specific mill control context

It is commonly referred to as a SABC circuit, for Semi-Autogenous Ball mill Crusher (SABC). This circuit shows a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG)/ball mill circuit where both grinding mills are in closed circuit, with the SAG mill closed with a crusher to control

Mar 21, 2007 In multi-stage ABC/SABC circuits, the AG or SAG mills are in closed circuit with screens and pebble crushers. The mill discharge from these mills consists of slurry, which goes to the ball mills for further grinding, and coarse pebbles/rocks, which are crushed and sent back to the mill

The range of mill sizes and versatile applications allow SAG milling to be accomplished with fewer lines than conventional set-ups. This, in turn, contributes to lower capital and maintenance costs for a SAG mill circuit. Versatile applications . SAG milling extends itself to many applications due to the range of mill sizes available

SAG Conference Vancouver, Canada September 22 – 26, 2019 ... This approach was demonstrated by a global mine-to-mill operations review in 2009, incorporating circuit sampling and standard ore characterisation testwork to facilitate the assessment of circuit performance efficiency and increased circuit productivity. This effort, and an ongoing

Computer simulations were performed to assess performance of two proposed new circuit flowsheets. The first proposed flowsheet consists of existing SAG mill circuit and a new proposed ball mill in closed circuit with a new second hydrocyclone package. The second

TRADITIONAL APPROACH TO CIRCUIT SELECTION For AG/SAG mill circuit selection piloting is still regarded as being the best option for estimating what the performance of the full-scale circuit will be. Tests are normally conducted under a range of conditions, the choice of circuit then being made on the basis of a number of criteria, which normally

The Bond efficiency factors of 48-61 % were obtained for the BGM grinding circuit, indicating an inefficient operation. This suggests that the operation could achieve targets by lowering the throughput. Further, the SAG mill circuit was characterized by fluctuating feed size of between x. F, 80 =102 to 185 mm. A need for control of the feed
