This characteristic of ball media wear rate vs the bond index was investigate at part of the AMIRA P9L project . It was found the systems dominated by corrosive wear mechanisms (ie: mild steel media) had wear rate in the 100159g/kwh range and the systems that did not have corrosive wear mechanisms (Cr media or noncorrosive ores) and were dominated by abrasive and impact wear ...
Variations of this magnitude have been seen in balls at the Henderson mill. Effect of Breakage: If a 127mm (5in.) ball splits into halves it is no longer a 127mm (5in.) ball, it is two poor 101 mm (4 in.) "balls," neither of which may have required KE to do the work intended for the 127 mm (5 in.) ball. Similar penalties apply to ...
The SAG mill was installed with a low ball charge, no variable speed and a fine grind was targeted (P80 106 µm). High circulating loads and difficulty achieving the target grind size were experienced. This type of ore should have been treated in a high ball charge SAG mill with variable speed capability.
In a typical AG/SAG mill operation, the charge, consisting of ore, water, and grinding media (usually steel balls) at different proportions is fed into the mill (Gupta and Yan, 2016, Lynch, 2015, Wills and Finch, 2016). ... how does practical mill charge composition affect the mill noise? ... method to predict the performance a ball mill based ...
The critical speed for this mill was 54 revolutions/minute. For most steadystate conditions examined there is no creation of a water pool (which is typical of overflow mills) at the toe of the ball charge. The immediate observation when a slurry is fed into the mill is a very significant reduction in the noise emitted from the mill.
the lifters and also reduced the modeled impact of the ball charge on the unprotected liners above the slurry pool. The discovery of excess mill pooling in the SAG mill prompted a review of the "pumping" capacity of the SAG mill. The excess slurry pool inhibited grinding and caused unnecessary power draw
Steel balls as traditional grinding media are prone to excessive fines generation and high energy consumption. Therefore, in light of this problem, the authors investigated another media—ceramic balls based on the output characteristics of fine particles. This study discusses the effect of ceramic balls on the change of the particle size distribution, zeroorder output characteristics, micro ...
respect with SAG mills being increasingly less sensitive as the ball charge is increased (Morrel S and Valery W, 2001). EFFECT OF FEED SIZE DISTRIBUTION ON SAG MILLING The qualitative effect of changes in particle size distributions (PSD) on the SAG mill performance can be addressed by using the grind curves.

The recycle crusher is used to balance the rate of media breakage within the mill Kambalda, Olympic Dam, Sino Iron 3 SAG mill (8 15% ball charge) Variable or moderate competency ore with the competency suiting the selected grind size Tarkwa, Leinster, Golden Pride,
Overcharging results in poor grinding and losses due to abrasion of rods and liners. Undercharging also promotes more abrasion of the rods. The height (or depth) of charge is measured in the same manner as for ball mill. The size of feed particles to a rod mill is coarser than for a ball mill. The usual feed size ranges from 6 to 25 mm.
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 m (21 ft.) mills, mill throughput was increased by 15 percent and power consumption reduced by 13 percent by liner redesign alone.
When the charge volume of cylpebs is between 20% and 35% in the wet ball mill, cylpebs can be replaced by ceramic balls of the same single mass, with the total weight of the ceramic balls being ...

In semiautogenous grinding (SAG), the grinding mill inventory, ( volume of total charge, volume of ball charge, etc.) is important in determining the optimum operating condition for maximum production (tph), minimum specific energy (kwh/t) or lowest cost (/t). A twodimensional graphical method is presented for determining the actual ball charge within the total charge when parameters ...

Cleary et al. [5] studied the effect of ball mill rotational rate on charge behavior and mill power, and in 2001, Cleary et al. [6] first applied 3D DEM to calculate the operating power of a SAG mill. The performance of the SAG mill is greatly affected by its structural and operating parameters and the characteristics of the rock material in ...
In SAG milling, wear speeds are dependent on ball size and ball charge volume. The relative performance of high Cr balls to forged steel balls is dependent on the milling environment: a) In high wear rate applications like SAG and primary grinding, the high Cr ball has 0 30% lower wear. b) In low wear rate applications, the high Cr relative ...

Abstract. Existing theories of the motion of the media in a rotary mill, and the calculation of mill power are extended to account for the actual motion of balls within a mill. A new definition of angle of repose of the charge, which is based upon fundamental properties of the shape of the charge, and remains defined over all mill speeds, is ...
