In the pilot plant tests, the tare power of the pilot plant mills should be determined
The SAG mill pinion energy is determined from the SAGDesign™ testwork results as follows : W SDT = revs (16,000 + m s)) / (447.3 m s) where : W SDT = AG/SAG Specific Pinion Energy from a F 80 of 152.4 mm to a T 80 of 1.7 mm, kWh/ton ground revs = Cumulative number of SAG test mill revolutions to 80% passing 1.7mm m s = SAG mill feed sample mass, grams

predicted. Slurry pooling causes the power draw in AG and SAG mills to be lower than a mill without a slurry pool. This phenomenon results in overflow mills usually drawing less power than grate discharge mills that are operating without a slurry pool. This is because by definition overflow mills operate all of the time with a slurry pool.
May 26, 2016· Calculation of Sag and Tension at an unequal level supports. In hilly areas or sloping grounds, the supports are not usual at the same level. For the calculation of sag and tension at unequal supports level consider a conductor AOB. The portion of OA and OB may be treated as catenaries of half span x and l-x respectively shown in the figure
Jan 01, 2015· Scw = solid concentration by weight fraction in the SAG mill feed; Jb = balls charge (bulk fraction of the SAG mill volume); N/Nc = fraction of the SAG mill critical speed; Pc = SAG mill power consumption (kW); % −6″ +1″ = % of the fresh feed in the size range −152 +25 mm.
can be a major factor in AG/SAG mill product size distribution, Figure 2 compares only data for porphyry ores. Before the true power efficiency of an AG/SAG grinding mill can be properly assessed by using the Wio concept, the T 80 used for calculations must be corrected to reflect the additional fines in the AG/SAG circuit product size
stage ball mills, rod mills or AG/SAG mills when calculating power according to the Bond Third Theory method. Rod mill and AG/SAG mill products are similar and tend to be not as steep as a 0.5 slope when plotted on log-log paper. This is because the particle size distribution (PSD), these mills
Enter the width of a mill shell liner. Note this is not the width of a lifter! You may use the Mill Liner Effective Width calculation to determine this value. The mill critical speed will be calculated based on the diameter (above) less twice this shell liner width. Mill Actual RPM: Enter the measured mill rotation in revolutions per minute.
For example, the SAG mill may have 10 MW of power draw available and the two ball mills each of 7.5 MW of power draw available for a total of ratio of 10:15 (1:1.5). The software uses the particular power model (Bond/Barratt, Morrell Mi, etc.) to determine what is the transfer size where the ratio of E SAG to E ball matches the ratio of mill

This is because by definition overflow mills operate all of the time with a slurry pool.
A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. The largest SAG mill is 42' (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor. A SAG mill with a 44' (13.4m) diameter and a power of 35 MW (47,000 HP) has been designed.

AG/SAG mill and crusher circuit simulations through the use of JKSimMet. Independent of this it can be used in power-based calculations, which in conjunction with the Bond ball work index test, enable the prediction of the specific energy of comminution circuits where such circuits include combinations of any of the following equipment:
An updated data set for sag mill power model calibration This paper expands the SAG mill survey database published by the Author at Procemin 2013. The new database includes 49 published SAG/AG mill surveys and includes mills from all over the world.
A further explanation is required to explain the importance of designing the SAG mill chamber to draw required power at optimum operating conditions of 75% critical speed and less than 30% by volume load. Recent studies in the three-foot diameter SAG mill are instructive. The following graph shows the relevant facts as Figure 2.

Apr 01, 2013· 1. Introduction. The Run-of-mine composition strongly affects autogenous mill operation. However, the effects of a varying ratio of hard and soft components in mill performance are not described by the current generation of AG/SAG models (Stange, 1996).For example, current JKSimMet models (Napier-Munn et al., 1996) assume a uniform feed, and describe it using a single set of average ore
The SAG Power Index (SPI) test (Starkey & Dobby, 1996) uses a benchscale SAG mill test to determine the specific energy of an industrial SAG mill. The test is operated in closed circuit and the time required to grind the material to a P 80 of 1.7 mm is used to predict AG/SAG
