Design of a Wear Estimator for liners in SAG Mills using …
In grinding, the SAG mills are used because of its capacity and short retention time for the processing of minerals and metals. SAG mills contain liners inside its structure. The liners crush the mineral and must be replaced each 6 months because they deteriorate during the crushing process. The measure of liners wears in SAG Mills requires a shut down …
Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill liner design and …
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

SAG vs. AG Mills: Understanding the Key Differences
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 ...
Ball, Pebble and SAG Mills: A Buyers Guide
SAG Mills function similarly to the other mills, utilizing grinding balls, but the main difference is found in its semi-autogenous functionality. This means that they are self-operative and reliant machines that generally require minimal operator supervision compared to other mill systems. As mentioned, the SAG mill is a first stage mill ...

Product Size: All passing 6 mesh with 80% passing 20 mesh. Net power from pilot plant: 16.5 KWH/ST. Mill, gear and pinion friction multiplier: 1.025. Mill Power required at pinionshaft = (240 x 16.5 x 1.025) ÷ 0.746 = 5440 Hp. Speed reducer efficiency: 98%. 5440 Hp ÷ 0.98 = 5550 HP (required minimum motor output power).

SAG Mill Liner Design
Based on experience, mill-liner designs have moved toward more open-shell lifter spacing, increased pulp lifter volumetric capacity, and a grate design to facilitate maximizing both pebble-crushing circuit utilization and SAG mill capacity. As a guideline, mill throughput is maximized with shell lifters between ratios of 2.5:1 and 5.0:1.
