Ore is ground to rougher flotation feed size in a semi-autogenous (SAG) mill primary grinding circuit and a ball mill secondary grinding circuit.The SAG mill operates in closed circuit with a vibrating screen. Water is added to the SAG mill to produce a slurry and the ore feed size is reduced as it traverses the SAG mill.

It is commonly referred to as a SABC circuit, for Semi-Autogenous Ball mill Crusher (SABC). This circuit shows a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG)/ball mill circuit where both grinding mills are in closed circuit, with the SAG mill closed with a crusher to control the amount of 'critical size' material in the circuit.

Multiple stages may include a rod mill followed by a ball mill (two stage circuit), or a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill followed by a ball mill (two stage circuit). Smaller plants tend to add extra crushing stages in order to operate a single grinding stage only. If a ball mill uses little or no water during grinding, it is a 'dry' mill.

In a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill and pebble crusher circuit, the behaviour of the comminution process is non-linear and time-varying due to wear and variations in the feed material. To describe such a complex system, data-driven models were introduced, along with a case study of a SAG mill circuit in Copper Mountain, British Columbia, Canada.

Aug 25, 2004We have an application in a SAG Mill where we have installed an electronic ear in order to listen the noise produced by the balls falling to the bottom of the mill. Our idea is to convert the amplitude and frequency of noise to a 4-20mA signal (or something else) in order to determine if the ball is crushing the mineral or the mill lining.
