Jervois Mining has appointed Outotec to undertake engineering and fabrication of a SAG mill for its Idaho Cobalt Operations (ICO) in Idaho, USA, which remains on track for first production from mid-2022. Jervois awarded a contract for the design, fabrication and delivery of a 4.7-m-diameter and 2.5-m-long 750 kW SAG mill.Web

autogenous mills – commonly known as SAG mills – use milling balls, as well as the weight of the ore itself, to break down the ore into smaller particles – a process known as comminution. The turning and tumbling of tons of ore within these mills creates a harsh environment with high heat and constant vibration. Downtime for theseWeb

The impact of more data-empowered decision making was seen at Freeport-McMoRan's copper mine in Arizona, where AI modelling of grinding circuit operations has helped to improve mill productivity by an estimated 20 million lb. per year – an increase that has allowed the company to avoid most of planned $200 million capital expansion.⁶Web

In all, two 28-megawatt gearless mill drive systems (GMDs) are in use at the mine's 40ft SAG mills, and four 16.5MW GMDs are employed in 26 football mills. "Gearless mill drives are the 'workhorses' for grinding operations, which are at the heart of any mine," ABB's Cobre Panama project manager Rene Chacon said.Web

SAG mills are primarily used in the mining industry, particularly in the processing of gold, copper, and platinum group metals. They are also used in the cement industry and other industrial sectors. AG mills, on the other hand, are often used in the mining industry for the processing of precious metals such as gold and silver, as well as lead ...Web

Once a mill is built, changing the equipment, upgrading, etc is very hard and time consuming. The logistics of getting a new SAG mill to site, for example, are mind boggling. New technology will always come for new sites, but most of the world's mining capacity is already in place. I would expect most digitalisation to focus on two areas:Web

There's SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) Mill - perhaps most prominently used in copper mining- which combines features from both autogenous mills and ball mills by using grinding media along with rock feed material.Web

grinding mill would require a 6- or 12-pulse configuration. But for Toromocho a more powerful solution was necessary. To feed the SAG mill with 28 MW of power and achieve the required performance characteristics requires an 18-pulse configuration – the first time that such a powerful solution has been used in a mining application.Web

Minera ndida, located in the Antofagasta Region of northern Chile, is the world's largest producer of copper as concentrate and SX-EW cathode. Projects to increase mill and flotation capacity began soon after start-up in 1990 to off-set decreasing copper grade. Subsequent projects had the objective to increase copper production through …Web

Simulations indicated that a capacity increase of 12% would be achieved in the existing grinding circuit by further crushing 35% of SAG mill fresh feed. Such figures would represent yearly additions of 8.3 kt in …Web

The grinding media use is typically 1 kg steel/t ore, and assuming 2 t CO2e/t steel consumed, this results in about 0.3 – 0.6 t CO2e/t Cu produced of embedded emissions. This means that copper in concentrate production at an open pit mine site typically results in around 5.5 – 9.5 t CO2e/t Cu if powered by diesel and coal fired …Web
