Mill drive selection for semiautogenous grinding mills

A key operation of any milling circuit is grinding. Over the last two decades, large diameter semiautogenous grind-ing (SAG) mills have become the pre-ferred primary grinding mills. The drive systems became more complex as the size of the mills became larger, during which time operating and design expe-rience for SAG mill accumulated. Con-Web

HPGR High Pressure Grinding Rolls

Media wear is much less than an SAG circuit in terms of total volume (balls and liners) or as unit consumption in terms of kg/kWh or kg/t. However, although the volume is less, the wear materials are much more highly finished—in economic terms, a high-volume. lower value media is replaced by a low-volume. higher value media.Web
