Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter. These

A model of autogenous and semi-autogenous grinding mills has been developed which can be used to predict the performance of different ore types in mills of different size.The approach was based on ore specific appearance functions. Pendulum and tumbling tests on ore samples were conducted to describe quantitatively the high and low energy breakage …

Autogenous grinding has two advantages, (1) it reduces metal wear and (2) eliminates secondary and tertiary crushing stages. Thus it offers a savings in capital and operating costs. Autogenous mills are available for both wet and dry grinding. The diameter of Autogenous mills is normally two to three times the length.

There are few methods of semi-autogenous (SAG) mill power prediction in the full-scale without using long experiments. In this work, the effects of different operating parameters such as feed moisture, mass flowrate, mill load cell mass, SAG mill solid percentage, inlet and outlet water to the SAG mill and work index are studied. A total …

The autogenous mill can process materials of any property, especially when grinding asbestos, iron ore, copper ore, limestone, gold ore, manganese ore, etc. It has a large grinding ratio, up to 4000-5000, and the feeding size is generally 300-400mm (910mm in special cases). After grinding, the material particle size can reach 0.1mm or less.

In the mineral processing industry, Semi-Autogenous grinding (SAG) mills play a significant role and has been under investigation. The mill takes a cylindrical shape with two cone-shaped ends. The diameter of the mill varies from 20 feet to 42 feet. The particles inside a SAG is huge in number due to particle size.

Some autogenous mills can even crush materials to a size of 0.074 mm, accounting for more than 20% to 50% of the total product quantity. The crushing ratio can even reach 4000 to 5000, which is several times higher than that of ball and rod mills. Autogenous mills are a new type of grinding equipment that combines crushing and grinding functions.

Grinding mills are size reductions machines that often follow crushers in the processes where finer products are desired after crushing. Different grinding machines are usually named as mills, for example rod mills, ball mills, and attrition mills. Because of the name, verb milling is also been used as a synonym for grinding.
