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. AG mills, on the other hand, are smaller and are typically used for ...

sag few mills in chile S Mill Services in Chile digiscend S Mill Services in Chile S is an acronym for SemiAutogenous Grinding S mills are essentially autogenous mills, but utilize grinding balls to aid in grinding like in a ball mill A S mill is generally used as a primary or first stage grinding solution S mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%.
In this paper, the experience and results of the implementation of an advanced control strategy for SAG mills 1 and 2 at Codelco Chile's, División El Teniente, is presented. In these applications, the multivariable predictive control approach was used, based on Honeywell's Profit Controller ™ software, also called RMPCT (Robust …

Arrivals formalities: SAG Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) Affidavit. Every person over 18 years of age who enters Chile through Santiago Airport (SCL), must fill out the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) Affidavit and indicate whether he or she is carrying vegetable and/or animal products in order to avoid the entry of pests and ...
The SAG mills will be fed by one of three coarse ore reclaim conveyors. Process water will be added at the mill feed in order to produce a SAG mill discharge slurry density of about 75% solids by weight. Each mill will be 12.8 m diameter with an 8.8 m effective grinding length (EGL) and will have a 28 MW variable speed gearless drive ring …
To monitor and respond to critical impacts and changing conditions such as liner wear and ore variation, ECS/ ProcessExpert uses LoadIQ which is a self-powered smart sensor attached to the mill shell. Conditions inside your mill are automatically adjusted to minimise liner damage, stabilise and then optimise the operation of a SAG Mill.
Highlights Particle size reduction in tumbling mills results from five different mechanisms. Incremental damage is the dominant mechanism for SAG operation. Incremental breakage progeny are indistinguishable from those of single impacts. DEM prediction of abrasive size reduction is qualitatively accurate for AG mills. DEM …

WiRM, the Bond rod mill work index (conducted using a wave-liner mill and a fourteen mesh closing size), unitless (but relative to either a metric tonne or Imperial short ton basis). WiRM = 115 (A×b)-0.57 [based on reinterpretation of Doll, 2016] WiRM = 1.35 (SGI)0.51 [Doll, 2016] WiC, the Bond crushing work index, unitless (but relative to ...
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 discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
This paper reflects on how measurements from inside an operating SAG mill might be used to better understand charge motion and energy dissipation within the mill. The paper discusses how the measurements might influence and enhance approaches to energy efficient mill operation when compared with current day modelling techniques. Insights …
The modernization project includes two 8 MW SAG (semi-autogenous) mills and two 9.7 MW ball mills with dual pinion drives. The new drive systems are replacing the existing …
A SAG mill control system implementation is presented in Section 3. The discussion emphasizes on the SAG mill simulation model, and pro- posed control strategy. 2.
