The design of the 40-foot diameter SAG mill installed at the Cadia Gold Mine, New South Wales Australia, followed after two years of extensive laboratory and pilot plant testwork. This showed the Cadia ores to be hard and competent necessitating the use of both a variable speed mill drive and pebble crushing. The grinding power requirements were …

The SAG mill operated to 97% of installed motorpower, for an annual throughput of 22.5 million tonnes per annum (Mt/a) in the 2019 fiscal year.In 2019 the site metallurgy team …

Most hard rock operations have reported pebble recycles above 10% of SAG mill feed (Powell et al. (2006). Cadia Hill SAG milling circuit reported pebble recycle of 34% of feed (Hart et al., 2001 ...

The SAG mill at the Cadia Hill gold mine was designed to process 2065 tons per hour but could only achieve 1900 tons per hour. Several factors contributed to this including harder volcanic ore, lower than designed …

Cadia is one of Australia's largest gold mining operations. In the 2023 fiscal year, Cadia produced 597 Koz of gold at an all-in sustaining cost of $45 per ounce. In November 2022, the Panel Cave (PC) 1-2 feasibility study was approved to execution. PC1-2 is the next panel cave for execution at Cadia after PC2-3, and its development is ...

The design of the 40 foot diameter SAG mill motor was such that up to a mill operating speed of 74% critical, power would be delivered at constant torque. Above 74% and up …

Cadia is one of Australia's largest gold mining operations, owned 100 per cent by Newmont Corporation, following the acquisition of Newcrest Mining Limited on 6 November 2023.

In June 1998, the world's largest grinding mill, the 40 ft (12.2 m) diameter 20 MW Cadia gearless SAG mill, was commissioned. This was a leap of over 40% above the largest operating SAG mill. A significant saving in capital cost gave the incentive necessary for a single mill line at Cadia, resulting in the selection of the 40 ft (12.2 m ...

The Ridgeway Concentrator at Newcrest Cadia was commissioned in 2002 as an ABC circuit to treat the ore from the Ridgeway sublevel cave (SLC) at around 5 MTPA. Consisting of a single pinion 32' autonomous grinding (AG) mill and a single pinion 7 MW ball mill, it was a much smaller plant than the adjacent Cadia Hill Concentrator. …

What is the air gap switch on the dimmers for? Answer: The air gap switch is a safety feature. Engaging the air gap switch opens the circuit, stopping the flow of power to fixture it is controlling. This prevents the user from inadvertently shocking themselves.

The original Cadia stator design was only just too flexible. It wasn't "floppy" and impossible to manage or control. The maximum amplitude of the vibrations during a vibration excursion was about 7 mm. This was a horizontal deflection at the top of the frame. The greatest reduction of the air-gap was about 5 mm at ±45º to the horizontal.

for the Cadia Hill SAG mill circuit, throughput increased by increasing the SAG mill ball charge, reducing the number of lifter rows, reducing the rock charge, and reducing the SAG mill feed size distribution from an average F80 of 100mm to 80mm. These research efforts present interesting findings for increasing mill throughput while also

The fans push the air in a closed circuit through the motor. The air cools the active part of the motor and the heat-exchanger re- cools the air. Several

Ø SAG mill availability was lower than expected in the first year due to issues with the gearless drive and trommel panel failures. Figure 1 shows the ramp up of the Cadia Hill SAG mill by quarter.

The Concentrator 1 plant at Cadia transitioned from Cadia Hill open pit to the Cadia East block cave ore body in 2013. As a result of this change, major plant upgrades were required to achieve the desired throughput while treating more competent ore. The 40-foot (40') SAG mill now receives a feed of predominantly high pressure …

As the SAG model in JKSimMet does not take account of the variation in breakage rates at different mill loads, the SAG mill load for different A and b values (Table 5) is kept the same as in the base case (Table 4). Simulated throughput was compared with the base case and the results are presented in Table 6, Table 7).
