SAG milling extends itself to many applications due to the range of mill sizes available They can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening a rod mill and some or all of the work done by a ball mill SAG mills are also an optimum solution for wet grinding since crushing and screening in these
If you feel there is a need to install precrushing for a green field grinding circuit it suggests you are SAG mill limited because of ore hardness in which case an HPGRBall Mill circuit
stage SAG milling is likely to be a comparatively profitable grinding circuit design x Medium Grind – 80 passing size between 106 and 75 µm To mill in single stage SAG configuration the feed must be consistent and the downstream process reasonably capable of handling some fluctuations in the
The circuit comprises a SAG mill 12 m diameter by 61 m length belly inside liners the effective grinding volume two pebble crushers and two ball mills in parallel closed with cyclones The SAG mill is fitted with a 20 MW gearless drive motor with bidirectional rotational capacity
The singlestage SAG mill circuit was shown to efficient operate ly on primary crushed Wallaby Deeps underground material With relatively coarse competent feed and a reasonable ball charge the variable speed SAG mill generated a product with sufficient fines content that the cyclones could manage without excessive recycle
Debottleneck SAGball mill circuit Allows gold production expansion or other metals in the case of base metals operations to be achieved by increased mining output and increased primary crushing rates with no requirement for increased processing plant capacity – low capex expansion
The benchmark circuit varies with plant capacity and ore competency • Single stage crushsingle stage SAG mills and two stage crushball mill circuits are typically selected for low throughput plants 50 th where personnel costs are a large component of costs
Rod mills can take particles as coarse as 5 cm Many of the newer operations tend to install ball mills in combination with SAG mills and avoid rod mills due the cost of the media the cost of replacing rods and general maintenance costs Many older operations have rod mills in combination with ball mills
