WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Semi autogenous mills or SAG mills as they are often called, can perform grinding operations equivalent to two or three stages of crushing and screening. SAG mills are characterized by their large diameter and short length as compared to ball mills.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829SAG is an acronym for SemiAutogenous Grinding. SAG mills are essentially autogenous mills, but utilize grinding balls to aid in grinding like in a ball mill. A SAG mill is generally used as a primary or first stage grinding solution. Attrition between grinding balls and ore particles causes grinding of finer particles.
