3. The maximum ball loading capacity of AG mill is calculated at 3% of effective mill volume, while the SAG mill with ball loading capacity at 15% of mill volume. 4. The operating speed is usually 75% of critical speed of mill, the variable frequency speed regulation is ideally somewhere between 5% to 10% of rated speed.

Mill, gear and pinion friction multiplier: 1.025. Mill Power required at pinionshaft = (240 x 16.5 x 1.025) ÷ 0.746 = 5440 Hp. Speed reducer efficiency: 98%. 5440 Hp ÷ 0.98 = 5550 HP (required minimum motor output power). Therefore select a mill to draw at least 5440 Hp at the pinionshaft.

The operation of AG/SAG mills is sensitive to mill filling, therefore developing grindcurves to relate mill filling to performance indicators such as throughput, power draw, and product size can assist in achieving optimal mill operations. The throughput, power draw, and product size have been shown to peak at different mill filling levels.

Working Principle of a SAG Mill. The rock and grinding media are placed in the mill and rotated, causing the grinding media to tumble and crush the rock into smaller pieces. The mill operates in a closed circuit with screens that size the ore and send it back to the mill for further grinding. The product from the mill is then sent to a cyclone ...
