The SAG Mill has a "small" circulation load of oversize given be the 3/8″ trommel screen and the 1/2″ x 1 1/4″ discharge grates. The load of 4″ balls in this SAG is "good" but un-measured. SAG Ball consumption is "average" at 400 g/t while Ball Mill grinding media (3″ balls) usage in 550 g/t. Yet, you add steel and nothing ...
In South Africa wet grate discharge mills having a nominal ratio of length to diameter slightly larger than 1 (16/12 = 1. 33 and 14/12 = 1.17. In North America, with wet primary mills, the practice has been to use low or high level grate discharge or peripheral discharge and a nominal ratio of length to diameter relatively close to 1/3.

The finding in this research is to reveal the condition in which a reliable DEM solution is achievable in the appli-cation of a SAG mill. The DEM result sheds insight to the design of the grates like the size and total opening area of the slots. It also provides structural optimization on a new type of grate used in a SAG mill.
Similar to slurry flow-back, the pebbles flowing back into the mill increase with larger pebble port or grate slot size. As the pebbles flow down and slide across the grate slots, they get an equal chance to go back into the mill. Similar to slurry pool formation, pebbles flow-back would increase the quantity of critical size material in the mill.
Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter. These
The load in such a mill typically contains 250,000–450,000 particles larger than 6 mm, allowing correct representation of more than 90% of the charge in Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. Most AG/SAG mills use discharge grate slots which are 15 mm or more in width. The mass in each size fraction usually decreases rapidly below grate size.
Each time the grate enters the mill charge, the horizontal force of the load in the mill deflects the grate. This stretches the rubber and forces any large material …
SAG mill grates must withstand difficult conditions in order to maintain the desired throughput. But traditional steel grates aren't up to the challenge. They are typically cast from a material between 250 and 300 Brinell hardness – i.e. fairly soft, to avoid breakage – but the result is that they are easily deformed, causing grate slots ...

Single stage SAG Mills are very beneficial in reducing CAPEX for plants with a staged throughput approach. When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.
By combining with SAG discharge and screening on the SAG discharge screens, top size control to the ball-mill circuit feed is maintained while still unloading …

End and shell liner design in these mills is much the same as for SAG mills. The effect of liner design on performance is equally as important. For instance, in an iron ore operation using 6.4 m (21 ft.) mills, mill throughput was increased by 15 percent and power consumption reduced by 13 …

Grate Discharge Ball Mills have shown 25% to 45% more tonnage ground and a substantial reduction in power consumed per ton of material compared size for size with overflow mills. To illustrate the characteristics of various type mills we have shown the types of discharge for rod mills and ball mills. There are essentially four types of rod …

A practical approach has been developed for the design of both grates and pulp lifters. It is based on: an appreciation of the process interaction between grates and pulp lifters, an interpretation of mill charge structure as it relates to discharge through grates, and an analysis of pulp and solids flow in pulp lifter channels. This approach can be used to …

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 ... after being sufficiently ground to the grate slot size, the slurry leaves through the slots in the grate. 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 ...

In a way, the media size should be selected based on feed size and grate opening. Finer feed (i.e. secondary crushed) justifies a 4" ball but if the grate opening is 60 mm x 100 mm slots then a 4" ball won't last very long. If the feed top-size is >100 mm, then typically a 5" ball is suitable.
With mills grinding ore, grate apertures can be as high as 100 mm in diameter (pebble ports), allowing rocks up to this size to exit the mill. Material of this size cannot be expected to behave like a fluid. Hence the question arises as to what fraction of the discharge slurry can be considered to act like a fluid and what fraction acts like a ...
