SAG mills are the main workhorses in the majority of comminution circuits globally. They need to be fed and kept working round the clock. But challenges can arise when capacity is not optimised causing unnecessary downtime and liner wear leading to the one sound operators do not want to hear - the sound of the mills standing still.

Ore hardness plays a critical role in comminution circuits. Ore hardness is usually characterized at sample support in order to populate geometallurgical block models. However, the required attributes are not always available and suffer for lack of temporal resolution. We propose an operational relative-hardness definition and the use of real-time operational data to train a Long Short-Term

Iron ore is the key raw material for steel production enterprises. Generally, iron ore with a grade of less than 50% needs to be processed before smelting and utilization. After crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, flotation, and gravity separation, etc., iron is gradually selected from the natural iron ore.

Jun 30, 2021Each mill measures about 12 metres in diameter and has an internal volume of 1,220 cubic metres. As the AG mill turns, the ore crushes against itself and breaks apart. From the AG mills, the ore travels to the primary magnetic separators where the iron is drawn away from the waste material before it's screened and fed into the ball mills.
