Semi-autogenous Outotec SAG mills, as they are often called, can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening. Often used in grinding at modern mineral processing plants, SAG mills reduce the material directly to the desired final size or prepare it for the following grinding stages.
Get MoreSemi-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
Get MoreA semi-autogenous grinding mill, or Sag mill, is responsible for grinding materials from large chunks into small, usable pieces for processing. The Sag mill is usually part of the primary stage in the grinding process. Pieces of raw or fairly reduced materials are ground into smaller pieces for further processing or sorting.
Get MoreSAG mill. SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. 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 …
Get MoreSemi-autogenous grinding (SAG) and autogenous grinding mills are used for grinding large chunks of materials into smaller pieces which can be later used for processing. Such mills are used in the primary stage of grinding process where pieces of raw materials …
Get MoreSince the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and Autogenous Mill (AG Mill) under the Fuller-Traylor brand. Semi-autogenous grinding uses a minimal ball charge in the range of 6-15% while autogenous grinding uses ore only. SAG and AG Mills operate by lifting ore/grinding media and dropping it on ...
Get MoreThe biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
Get MoreAmong the different grinding processes, Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) mills are widely used for ore size reduction. The main difference between these two mills is the use of steel balls as grinding media, typically in the order of 6–12% in volume (Sbarbaro et al., 2005), in the SAG mills.

Get MoreSAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., the impact of shell liners on the grinding action and of …

Get MoreMill Sizing: After laboratory and pilot plant testing confirm the feasibility of autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding, it can be used to establish the exact grinding circuit and mill size.In the pilot plant tests, the tare power of the pilot plant mills should be determined before and after each test run. The tare power should be for the empty mill.
Get MoreThe semi-autogenous mill is also called SAG mill which is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. It is similar to an autogenous mill but uses grinding media like a ball mill grinder.It takes material itself as the main grinding media and grinds through their mutual collision.
Get MoreThe AG/SAG mills generally receive ore directly from the crushing plants with alternative arrangements made to receive ore from a stockpile. In rare cases, the feed is directly from the mine. Schematic diagrams of a typical semi-autogenous mill with large D/L ratio and a square mill are illustrated in Figure 9.1, Figure 9.2.
