SAG Mill Liner Design
To a more significant degree than in other comminution devices, SAG Mill Liner Design and Configuration can have a substantial effect mill performance. In general terms, lifter spacing and angle, grate open area and aperture size, and pulp lifter design and capacity must be considered. Each of these topics has had a considerable amount of research, … Read more
SAG Mill Grinding Circuit Design
AG and SAG mills are now the primary unit operation for the majority of large grinding circuits, and form the basis for a variety of circuit configurations. SAG circuits are common in the industry based on: High single-line capacities (leading to capital efficiency) The ability to mill a broad range of ore types in various … Read more
Stockpile Segregation
The video below graphically explains the common problem of Coarse Ore Stockpile Segregation. This topic relates to SAG Mill tonnage and the bad habit of putting bulldozers “dozers” on ore stockpiles. Stockpile-Segregation”>

Drop Weight tests (DWT) using JKMRC Rotary Breakage Tester
The Drop Weight tests (DWT) by JK is now replaced by the JKMRC Rotary Breakage Tester. It is faster as confirmed by Tony and now used by many since its intro http://www.min-eng.com In an AG/SAG mill there are two main mechanisms of breakage, namely impact (high energy) and abrasion (low energy). The industry accepted JK impact breakage parameters, … Read more
What Ore Testing is Required For Mill Selection
Beginners might ask what grinding test data is required in order to properly size a grinding mill. After the grind requirements are established, testing for the selection of comminution circuits and mill size can be initiated and can include the following: Primary Autogenous Media Competency Primary Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous Pilot Plant Secondary Autogenous (Pebble) Testing … Read more
