The performance improvement of a full-scale autogenous mill by setting
It means that a significant loss of grinding action within the fully autogenous mills will occur by increasing the ore hardness, which results in a higher rate of return load to the mill. The higher rate of return load results in an increased mill weight. It will force the control room operator to reduce the fresh feed rate to keep the normal ...

What's the Difference Between SAG Mill and Ball Mill
The end cover of the autogenous mill is made of steel plate and welded into one body; the structure is simple, but the rigidity and strength are low; the liner of the autogenous mill is made of high manganese steel. The end cover and the hollow shaft can be made into an integral or split type according to the actual situation of the project.
SAG Mill | Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous …
Semi-autogenous grinding uses a minimal ball charge in the range of 6-15% while autogenous grinding uses ore only. SAG and AG Mills operate by lifting ore/grinding media and dropping it on the operating bed of the mill …
Semi Autogenous Mill
The semi-autogenous mill is also called SAG mill which is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. It is similar to an autogenous mill but uses grinding media like a ball mill grinder. It takes material itself as the main grinding media and grinds through their mutual collision. However, some raw materials with a diameter greater than 20mm and ...
SAG Mill Grinding Circuit Design
The grinding circuit comprises one 8530 mm diameter x 3650 mm semi-autogenous mill driven by a 3954 kW variable speed dc motor, and one 5030 mm diameter x 8340 mm secondary ball mill driven by a 3730 kW synchronous motor. Four 1067 x 2400 mm vibrating feeders under the coarse ore stockpile feed the SAG mill via …
AMIT 135: Lesson 6 Grinding Circuit – Mining Mill …
Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill. Wet or dry; Higher capacity than A-G mill grinding; Primary, coarse grinding (up to 400 mm feed size) Grinding media is grinding feed plus 4-12% ball charge (ball dia.100- 125 mm) High capacity (short retention time) Less sensitive to feed composition (critical size material) Semi-Autogenous Mill
AG – SAG Autogenous & Semi-Autogenous Grinding Mill Testing
Pilot plant testing for primary autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding gives the following information needed for selection of mills, circuit design, and mill design. (1), (2) and (3). Since the ore determines the nature of the product from an autogenous or semi-autogenous grinding circuit, the first thing to be determined is the suitability of ...

SAG vs. AG Mills: Understanding the Key Differences
SAG mills are often used in conjunction with a ball mill or pebble mill to achieve the desired grind size. SAG mills are primarily used in the mining industry, particularly in the processing of gold, copper, and platinum group metals. On the other hand, AG mills, or Autogenous Grinding mills, use only the ore itself as grinding media.

Autogenous Grinding Process
During autogenous grinding, ore can be broken through grinding or disintegration.
