ARE SAG MILLS LOSING MARKET CONFIDENCE?

INTRODUCTION. AG or SAG mills have been in use in comminution circuits since the 1950's and are considered a mature technology in most countries. However, a reasonable number of recent SAG mill based projects have under-performed and not achieved throughput targets under their design conditions.

The specific energies of the SAG and ball mills were determined using AusGrind (Ausenco's in-house software) (Lane, Foggiatto, Bueno and McLean, 2013 and Morrell's ) method. SAG mill specific energy was a function of the inverse of the Axb value, the mill geometry and the mill operating conditions.
