A surge bin with 30 min residence time and a diversion chute to an emergency stockpile feeder is located halfway between the crusher and the SAG mill. MILLING Grinding is achieved with an Outotec SAG mill with a 7 MW single-pinion TECO drive, a diameter of 7.32 m and an effective grinding length (EGL) of 7.95 m in open circuit followed by an

the SAG mill and ball mill was 8658 kW, which caused partial over-grinding. From experience in processing plants outside of China, the power rating of the ball mill should be higher than that of the SAG mill [5]. The pebble crusher had an over-powered configuration. The installed power draw of 630 kW

SAG mill can be applied as the first stage grinding equipment. It can effectively avoid the occurrence of sliming phenomenon, and avoid further grinding of fine particles. It can play a good role in controlling granularity and energy saving. Infrastructure investment and equipment cost is lower than common process; The unit grinding cost of ore

There were 2 SAG Mills in that hall, one afternoon the other engaged the it's brake, imagine blowing air out of your open mouth but with enough force to shake an entire building. In the 1970's I worked in the Poseidon Nickel mine in W. Australia and used to reline the grinding mill there

Apr 26, 2018 Ball Mill Simulation and Analysis. This video shows the inside of a Semi Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill, a key machine for grinding crushed materials in mining. Optimize your SAG Mill operation using EDEM tools for analyzing the motion of rocks and balls, power consumption, wear and ball particle distribution through time

Jan 30, 2020 A look back at a great series of images I created for Metso in 2015 inside the ball mill. I had a great experience for my first time in a Ball mill and these two gentleman ensured all safety procedures were in place for a successful photography shoot.

In a mining plant or processing mill, they have a big grinding circuit for crushing raw material, these are usually Ball or SAG mills. Inside these Sag/Ball mill are big steel balls that grind ore via an impact process. In simple terms, these hard metal steel balls get to the top of the rotating chamber and fall down crushing the ore being

The three gearless mill drive (GMD) systems are the ABB most powerful ever made. The GMD for the 40-foot SAG mill has a power rating of 28 megawatts (MW), and the GMDs for the two 28-foot ball mills have a power rating of 22 MW. They are the largest diameter and most powerful SAG and ball mills drive systems at the highest altitude installed to

The comprehensive offering provides reliable and energy efficient technology and solutions across wet, dry, horizontal, and vertical grinding operations

Inside the mill, the ore is mixed with water in two rotating SAG mills which use the larger rocks and 8-inch steel balls to reduce the ore to about 10 mm or smaller. Then two ball mills grind the ore to about 0.2 mm with 3-inch steel balls. This copper ore slurry is finally pumped to the flotation deck. The primary crusher reduces ore from the

SAG Mill. Semi autogenous grinding (SAG)technology, as an effective measure to reduce the capital investment and production cost, has been widely recognized. It has been widely applied in non-metal mineral processing, ferrous metal mineral processing and non-ferrous metal mineral processing, and is being popularized gradually in gold processing plant

Oct 12, 2017 SAG mill make use of steel balls included with some large and hard rocks for grinding. These mills utilize the balls in making the large fragments of materials broken into pieces. The ball charge of a SAG mill is about 9% to 20%.This process takes place inside the large rotating drum of SAG mill which is filled with balls partially

SAG mills are characterized by their large diameter and short length as compared to ball mills. The inside of the mill is lined with lifting plates to lift the material inside the mill, where it then falls off the plates onto the rest of the ore charge. SAG mills are primarily used at gold, copper and platinum mines with applications also in the lead, zinc, silver, alumina and nickel
