Abstract. Existing theories of the motion of the media in a rotary mill, and the calculation of mill power are extended to account for the actual motion of balls within a mill. A new definition of angle of repose of the charge, which is based upon fundamental properties of the shape of the charge, and remains defined over all mill speeds, is ...

Based on SAG7 test results, the lack of circulating load in such a scenario showed virtually no effect on the SAG circuit performance. Conversely, the combined effect between excessive impact provided by greater ball charge (12%) and increased mill speed (75%) was deleterious to the mill performance, as shown in the SAG11 test.

In this example, the OWi of the SAG mill was found to be 30% higher than the ball mill, thus suggesting that the SAG mill was less efficient than the ball mill. The apparent inefficiency of SAG mills when using Bond analysis is widely understood to be due to the difference in the slopes of the size distributions. In contrast, when the SSE75 was ...

In SAG milling, wear speeds are dependent on ball size and ball charge volume. The relative performance of high Cr balls to forged steel balls is dependent on the milling environment: a) In high wear rate applications like SAG and primary grinding, the high Cr ball has 0 30% lower wear. b) In low wear rate applications, the high Cr relative ...

Also, an increase in the mill speed may direct the ball charge to the mill shell/liner rather than the rock load and promotes balllinerlifter damage and unnecessary waste of energy (Almond and Valderrama, 2004). Accordingly, this would imply less breakage rate since preferential impact grinding condition would be restricted.

The same conditions apply in sag mills. However, in this case the required balance between coarse and intermediate size rocks is different to that for ag mills. This is because the steel balls in the sag mill do the duty of the larger rocks. As a result the more balls that are loaded into the sag mill the fewer larger rocks are required.

The critical speed for this mill was 54 revolutions/minute. For most steadystate conditions examined there is no creation of a water pool (which is typical of overflow mills) at the toe of the ball charge. The immediate observation when a slurry is fed into the mill is a very significant reduction in the noise emitted from the mill.

Overcharging results in poor grinding and losses due to abrasion of rods and liners. Undercharging also promotes more abrasion of the rods. The height (or depth) of charge is measured in the same manner as for ball mill. The size of feed particles to a rod mill is coarser than for a ball mill. The usual feed size ranges from 6 to 25 mm.
