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.

Autogenous Grinding

Autogenous grinding is being carried out, throughout the world, either in mills grinding in water or solution or in dry mills using air classification to remove the finished material. The wet grinding, particularly, can be divided into: Primary autogenous grinding, or “run

(PDF) Design of a typical Autogenous Mill: Part-I

grinding parameters of the Autogenous mill load are not independent of the mill feed; the load is continually generated from the feed, and its parameters therefore depend directly on

Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous Mills | FL

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 the operating bed of the mill charge.

Mill (grinding)

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 ...

SAG mills (semi-autogenous grinding mills)

Semi-autogenous mills or 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.
