SAG mills have a power higher than 10 MW. Even ball mills have a power larger than 10 MW. For this reason, they have an important impact in energy consumption and in the operation of the power distribution system. Figure 1. Picture of a typical GMD system for a SAG mill Figure 2 presents the power circuit of a cycloconverter fed synchronous motor.

Ball Mill Operation. Ball mills ride on steel tires or supported on both ends by trunnions. Girth gears bolted to the shell drive the mill through a pinion shaft from a prime mover drive. The prime movers are usually synchronized motors. During rotation, a portion of the charge is lifted along the inside perimeter.

In a largescale operation, feed ores are introduced into the AG/SAG mill in a continuous mode at a given flow rate to replace the discharging slurry. Nonetheless, the variations in the feed characteristics, typically hardness and size distribution, could cause sudden disruption to the mill operation. This would be challenging to detect in practice, owing to the hostile environment of the mill.

If the SAG mill is not intended to be the ratelimiting step in a process plant, then it is best to adjust the SAG load (and power) to hold a constant tonnage to satisfy another constraint elsewhere. Underground mines are an example: the hoisting capacity of the mine shaft is the ratelimiting step in the process, and the SAG mill must adapt to ...

The mill product can either be finished size ready for processing, or an intermediate size ready for final grinding in a rod mill, ball mill or pebble mill. AG/SAG mills can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening, a rod mill, and some or all of the work of a ball mill.

SAG mills and AG mills have different definitions and operate differently. SAG mills use a combination of steel balls and rock particles as grinding media, while AG mills use only the ore itself. Both types of mills are used for grinding ore in mineral processing operations, but SAG mills are larger in size and can grind larger quantities of ore.
