SAG is an acronym for semi-autogenous grinding. SAG mills are autogenous mills that also use grinding balls like a ball mill. A SAG mill is usually a primary or first stage grinder. SAG mills use a ball charge of 8 to 21%. [6] [7] The largest SAG mill is 42′ (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor. [8] A SAG mill with a 44 ...

This paper describes the design, the first three years of operation and optimization of a large, single stage SAG mill at Minera Yanacocha's Gold Mill facility located in northern Peru. The Gold Mill was commissioned in March 2008 with a 32' x 32' EGL, 16.5MW single stage SAG mill, to process 5 million tonnes per annum high grade …

A SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mill is a giant rotating cylinder filled with grinding media and the ore being reduced. As the mill rotates, the grinding media lifts and the impact crushes the feed material. SAG mill control refers to the practice of managing the mill load, which is the amount of material inside the mill at any given time.

e waste associated with a failed start-up is enormous. The main f. ctors involved are:If the SAG mill is too small, capital rev. sions will be required. Either pre-crushing, pebble …

(EGL) SAG mill driven by a 24,000 kW gearless drive. The SAG mill feeds two FL ball mills each 26 ft. in diameter × 40 ft. long (EGL), each driven by a 16,400 kW drive. The SAG mill is one of the largest volumetric capacity SAG mills in the world and represented the first 40 ft. SAG mill in Peru (Garcia & Villanueva, 2013 [1]).

The operation at Phu Kham commenced design and construction in early 2006 and was commissioned in May 2008. This paper will examine and discuss the project from the inception of flow sheet development and equipment selection, equipment design and manufacture, construction, commissioning and ramp up to full production. The paper …

detailed design; project construction; As a general rule, SAG mills tend to be more expensive to acquire and maintain than ball mills, however, the cost-benefit analysis must consider the total cost of operation over the …

Through the use of a coupled workflow involving Altair HyperStudy, HyperMesh and EDEM, a largely automated optimization methodology was utilized to create an example case optimization of a Semi-Autogenous (SAG) mill. Designs of Experiments (DOEs) were performed to generate useful data which allowed for the determination of which …

The Kidston plant was designed to process 7500 tpd fresh ore of average hardness; but to optimise profit during the first two years of operation when softer oxide ore will be treated, the process equipment was sized to handle a throughput of up to 14 000 tpd. Some of the equipment, …

SAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., …

failures have not occurred in large GMD SAG mills, the mill design was not exempt from a reliability survey. This survey, or assessment was carried out by partly in conjunction with Newmont, and ...

Freeport McMoRan's (Freeport) Cerro Verde operation was a ground-breaking installation in that a combination of secondary' crushing (using MP1000s), tertiary crushing using HPGRs, and screens replaced what would have been more typically been a large SAG mill feeding a multiple ball-mill circuit (Vanderbeek, 2006).

Upgrade your SAG mill feed chute seal M 10-23 1000-12-ENG V2 Product datasheet A proper seal makes all the difference in the way your SAG mill performs. A relatively minor wear part, the feed chute seal affects performance, lifecycle and safety with your SAG mill – and the stakes are high should it happen to fail.

Factors A, B, C and L are used to calculate the power drawn by a SAG mill chamber as shown below in equation (2) (from Rexnord 1975): kW = A x B x C x L x …

It depends, as always, on the ore. To answer your question in general terms, yes you can use a SAG mill for a 2000 tpd operation, but it may not be the best answer. ...
