Largediameter autogenous and semiautogenous grinding mills represent the primary thrust of the expanding grinding technology. In spite of initial difficulties, large autogenous and semiautogenous mills have reached an acceptable level of technology that provides the mineral engineer with a reliable, low cost means of ore comminution.
Autogenous (AG) and semiautogenous mills (SAG) are used for the coarse grinding of various ores, (such as gold, copper and iron ore). How many types of mills are there? Shear, impact and compression methods are used in media or ball mills. The five types of milling technologies discussed in this article cover more than 90 percent of size ...
Autogenous (AG) and SemiAutogenous (SAG) milling has seen increased use in recent years, especially in large mineral processing operations. These mills typically have a large diameter relative to their length, typically in the ratio or 2 or to 1. AG mills employ ore as the grinding media. However, one the challenges with AG mills is that ...

A semiautogenous mill is a type of grinding mill that uses grinding balls and ore or rock fragments as grinding media. The grinding is done by the impact of the rocks or ore particles on themselves or on the grinding media, thus breaking the ore into smaller particles. Semiautogenous mills use a minimal ball charge of 6 to 15%.

The application of autogenous/semiautogenous (AG/SAG) mills is widespread in industrial mineral processing plants as first stagegrinding units for ore size reduction, mineral liberation purposes, and economic benefits [1,2,3].These mills are used for grinding large quantities of ores of varying characteristics, which presents control challenges.
mills, so only the briefest of conceptual reviews will be offered here. Though this section is specific to autogenous and semiautogenous mills, many of the concepts are general and apply to any form of comminution. There is a continuum where one type of tumbling mill technology bleeds into the next:
Energy consumption represents a significant operating expense in the mining and minerals industry. Grinding accounts for more than half of the mining sector's total energy usage, where the semiautogenous grinding (SAG) circuits are one of the main components. The implementation of control and automation strategies that can achieve production objectives along with energy efficiency is a ...
Introduction The degree to which slurry is held up within autogenous (ag) and semiautogenous (sag) mills influences their grinding capacity and power draw. The roles of the grate and the pan lifters (in trunnion discharge mills) are particularly influential in this regard. Once a mill has been installed little can be done to affect the ...
In addition, ore hardness varies and thus, causes significant disturbances (Hahne et al., 2003; Wills and NapierMunn, 2006). The effect of feed ore hardness variations on the power consumption of semiautogenous (SAG) mill at five Canadian plants has been investigated by Starkey and Dobby (1989).
Autogenous grinding is a process of grinding ore in a rotating cylinder, using large pieces of the same ore. Autogenous mills operate mechanically like ball mills; however, the media used for grinding differs. Simply put, in autogenous grinding, the media is also the material that is being ground, whereas in other milling methods steel or ...
The successful application of modelling and simulation in design and optimisation rests heavily on having a model which is lifelike. In the case of autogenous (AG) and semiautogenous (SAG) mills this has provided a significant challenge to modellers, due in part to the interaction between feed characteristics and mill performance and also due to the difficulty in obtaining high quality ...
1.. IntroductionSemiautogenous grinding (SAG) mills are presently one of the most widely used alternatives in the field of mineral size reduction as a result of their comparative advantages, such as higher processing capacity, lower physical space requirements, and lower investment and maintenance costs, as compared to conventional circuits.
1.. IntroductionIt is generally recognised that the most accurate means for predicting the specific energy of an autogenous (AG)/semiautogenous (SAG) mill circuit is to pilot the circuit using a 6 ′ × 2 ′ mill (Mosher and Bigg, 2001).However, one of the major drawbacks of this approach is that a relatively large sample is required to do so.
Semiautogenous mills have larger diametertolength ratios compared to ball mills. Common applications for semiautogenous mills include gold, copper and platinum. Ball mills (Image credit: ) Buhrstone and disk attrition mills grind media between a horizontal or vertical rotating grooved stone or metal plate and a stationary plate made of ...

AG/SAG is short for autogenous mill and semiautogenous mill, it combines with two functions of crushing and grinding, uses the ground material itself as the grinding media, through the mutual impact and grinding action to gradually reduce the material size. ... Autogenous mills are common in the primary processing unit for the major large ...
Rubber liners are used in ball mills while metal liners are used in autogenous (AG) and semiautogenous (SAG) mills. The design of the liner of a mill determines the movement of the media. A C Lorain Shell Liners A C shell liners are used in AllisChalmers mills and are made of carbon rolled steel with lifters. ...
Autogenous or autogenic mills are socalled due to the selfgrinding of the ore: a rotating drum throws larger rocks of ore in a cascading motion which causes impact breakage of larger rocks and compressive grinding of finer particles. It is similar in operation to a SAG mill as described below but does not use steel balls in the mill.
Semi autogenous grinding mills are complex multiinput and multioutput systems that are difficult to optimize. The purpose of this study is to examine the functions of the wear of lifters, power ...

All autogenous (AG) and semiautogenous (SAG) mills use steel or rubber grates to hold back the grinding media, whilst allowing the product slurry to flow through and out of the mill. The total open area, size, shape and position of the holes varies considerably from installation to installation (NapierMunn et al., 1996), as given in Table 1.
The maximum particle size of lump ore fed into semiautogenous mill is 250 mm. Autogenous grinding uses the same equipment as autogenous grinding. Large autogenous mill usually uses circumferential motor and operates with gearless drive.
