The highest throughput grinding circuits in the mining industry use autogenous grinding (AG) or semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mills. An AG mill is a tumbling mill that uses the ore itself as grinding media.
Not far behind was dry semi-autogenous grinding (SAG), as engineers and operators quickly learned that adding steel to an existing AG mill would often significantly increase the throughput. The addition of water to the milling process and the removal of slurry by slotted grates to retain the charge, allowed wet grinding to replace the dry air ...
What is a SAG mill? The structure of the SAG mill (semi-automatic grinding mill) and the AG mill (autogenous grinding mill)are exactly the same, except that a certain proportion of auxiliary grinding media such as steel balls or steel rods are added as needed. During the process of the AG mill operation, some ores with diameters greater than 20mm but less than 80mm are not …

Autogenous Grinding. a grinding process in which large pieces of the material to be ground—ores and rocks-serve as the grinding medium; the process is carried out in drum mills. In autogenous grinding, a distinction is made between ore and ore-pebble grinding. Ore grinding is carried out in mills with a large diameter (up to 12 m) and short ...

The AG mill (autogenous grinding mill) is a medium-free grinding machine. In order to improve the processing capacity, 2% -3% steel balls can be added (also known as semi autogenous grinding mill or SAG mill). Raw ore or coarse crushed ore from the mine can be directly fed into the AG mill (SAG mill) for grinding.
grinding has shown significant improvement in process stability with a strong return on investment for throughput-limited ball mills and Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills. Given this large operational benefit, several mineral processing facilities are currently evaluating and implementing these strategies.

Autogenous grinding (AG) and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills use the material to be ground as the grinding media. Autogenous grinding mills use larger rocks to impact and break smaller rocks as the mill rotates. Semi-autogenous mills are basically the same autogenous mills, but with the addition of balls, similar to those in ball mills.
Autogenous grinding has two advantages, (1) it reduces metal wear and (2) eliminates secondary and tertiary crushing stages. Thus it offers a savings in capital and operating costs. Autogenous mills are available for both wet and dry grinding. The diameter of autogenous mills is normally two to three times the length.
The material discharged from a primary autogenous grinding mill using this invention is well suited for final grinding in a secondary pebble mill, the grinding media of which can be taken, to advantage, from the primary grinding charge by means of pebble extraction described and illustrated in Swedish Patent Application No. 7909921-4.
We have six lines of processing equipment working in parallel, each line is made up of an autogenous grinding mill, ball mills and magnetic separators. Our milling lines Every 24 hours, around 180,000 tonnes of ore are fed into the six milling lines' autogenous grinding mills (AG mills), these are the largest grinding mills in the world.

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
Abstract: Particle grinding is a final stage in the comminution process used to liberate minerals from gangue in mineral processing plants. Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) occurs in tumbling mills which use both large ore particles and steel balls for grinding. Grinding is the most energy intensive mineral processing unit operation and hence its optimisation is of considerable …
Autogenous grinding is a process of grinding ore in a rotating cylinder, using large pieces of the same ore. Autogenous mills operate mechanically like ball mills; however, the media used for grinding differs. Simply put, in autogenous grinding, the media is also the material that is being ground, whereas in other milling methods steel or ...
