Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW. Our team of product engineers continually improves SAG/AG Mill designs in order to provide the most robust, safe, and efficient grinding mills available.
The 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 …
The U.S. mining industry operates approximately 80 semi-autogenesis grinding mills (SAG) throughout the United States. Depending on the mill size the SAG mills draws between 2 MW and 17 MW. The product from the SAG mill is further reduced in size using pebble crushers and ball mills. Hence, typical gold or copper ore requires between 2.0 and 7.5 kWh per ton of …
Attrition mill is a type of grinding mill by kinds of media to crush lump to powder-like substances.

A partnership was …
In this study, considering different operational parameters for stirred media mill, change in specific energy was compared to the change in R x values, i.e. the cumulative weight of the material undersized to a specific sieve. R values, namely R 38, R 75, R 106, were measured before and after grinding in stirred mill.The change in R x (ΔR x, %) values were …

The crushing-ball milling circuit specific energy was estimated on the basis of the Bond equation and the relevant Bond work indices (Table 4), with the …
The amount of pebbles passing through the grate increases with the angle of the grate. It is imperative to ensure the efficient removal of both slurry and coarse pebbles (critical size) in order to ensure the efficient operation of AG/SAG mills. Elimination of the above mentioned material transport problems will allow the mill to respond truly ...
AG and SAG mill for sale. Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) grinding mills have seen increased application in large mineral processing operations in recent years. They are rotating/tumbling mills in which comminution (size reduction) takes place without grinding aids. Consisting of a large diameter cylinder relative to their length ...

Optimizing Your Sag Mill Operation International Mining. In the past when primary secondary and tertiary crushers fed material directly to large ball mills the energy efficiency of the concentrator was determined for the most part by the ball mill operation whereas now the energy efficiency of a plant often rests largely on the SAG mill operation
The company wants to save $25 million a year in energy costs and reduce greenhouse gases by 28% by 2025. The most prominent sites have a full-time engineer focusing on energy reduction, while the smaller plants have part-time experts concentrating on energy efficiency. This approach has saved $13.5 million per year in energy costs in the first ...
