SAG vs. AG Mills: Understanding the Key Differences

SAG Mill Grinding Media. SAG mills use a combination of steel balls and rock particles as grinding media. The addition of rock particles to the SAG mill feed allows the mill to break larger rocks, thus increasing the grinding efficiency. However, the use of rock particles can also lead to increased wear of the mill liners and decreased efficiency.

An analysis of SAG mill grinding and liberation tests

The use of Operating Work Index gave false conclusions concerning the efficiency of grinding by the SAG mill.

History of the SAG conference

SAG is over 30 years old The Beginnings to Now. The SAG conferences began in Vancouver in 1989, bringing together world industry professionals who specialize in the technology of comminution, specifically autogenous and semi-autogenous grinding (AG/SAG) and high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR).

Testwork: SAG grindability index

The SAG Grindability Index (SGI) test, or alternatively the trademarked SAG Power Index (SPI), is a SAG-specific test involving a small batch SAG mill that is charged with a two kilogram ore sample and ground until the product has achieved an 80% passing size of 1.7 mm. ... the time required to grind a sample to 80% passing 1.7 mm in a ...

Finishing of additively manufactured titanium alloy by shape …

In this paper, the novel shape adaptive grinding process has been applied to finishing titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) additively manufactured by EBM and SLS. It is shown that the micro-structured surface layer resulting from the melting process can be removed, and the surface can then be smoothed down to less than 10 nm Ra (starting from 4–5 …

Autogenous and Semi-autogenous Grinding Circuits

AG and SAG mills are very efficient at making angular particles round. Crushers are very efficient at making round particles angular. So there is a potential synergy from passing hard, rounded pebbles from a AG or SAG mill to a dedicated pebble crusher. The crusher product returns to the AG/SAG mill for further grinding.

Beyond SAG milling – The future of grinding

Since their early application, semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills have provided the modern mining industry with workhorses used for most high-throughput comminution applications. These mills can functionally replace most of the crushing equipment in a comminution circuit, resulting in a tight footprint and reducing common …

The SAG grindability index test

The mill reportedly rotates at 70% of critical velocity (Verret et al., 2011), or 54 rpm (Gonzalez, 2000).There is controversy surrounding the mill rotational speed. The calculation of mill critical velocity (V c) is derived from the balance of gravitational force and the centrifugal force acting on a ball, and is given by Eq.(1), after Austin and Concha …

the grinding action in mills was published 100 years ago (White 1905 and Davis 1919), the first publication on the influence of liner design on the charge motion only appeared in 70 years later (McIvor 1983). With the advent in the eighties of larger and larger SAG mills running in single stream

Ball Charge and Grinding Efficiency

Do not confuse with a AG/SAG mill where pooling can be detrimental. In ball mills all the media is balls with a high SG so the impact of pooling is not as large. Additionally, in ball mills grinding is primarily through cascading not cataracting (compared to an AG.SAG) so the slurry pool is not a factor unless density is high, which leads to ...
