Tumbling mills for size reduction with either steel rods (rod mills) or balls (ball mills), or sized ore (AG & SAG mills) as the grinding media used depending upon the size and energy considerations.
• The SAG Power Index (SPI®) Test is a measure of the hardness of the ore from a SAG or AG milling perspective. Conducted in a bench-scale SAG mill, the SPI® test measures the energy needed to perform a standard size reduction (expressed as an index). All four breakage mechanisms found in the industrial SAG mill are represented

Depending on the mill size the SAG mills draws between 2 MW and 17 MW. The product from the SAG mill is further reduced in size using pebble crushers and ball mills. Hence, typical gold or copper ore requires between 2.0 and 7.5 kWh per ton of …
The huge Metsä Group's bioproduct mill in Äänekoski has been designed to maximize material efficiency and minimize emissions. Its annual 1.8 terawatt hour power generation capacity requires no fossil fuels, and produces about 2.4 times more electricity than it will consume, enabling the sale of surplus energy.
This study evaluates the effect of using high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) in new comminution circuit designs in comparison to conventional comminution devices such as SAG and ball mills, in terms of energy efficiency. The total energy to achieve similar product sizes was measured directly in the process by using a new digital …
Mill speed can be adapted to upstream and downstream processes – avoids overgrinding, and optimizes load distribution between SAG and ball mill (Mular, Halbe & Barratt, 2002). Power consumption is influenced by load respectively torque and mill speed. This means that further energy can be saved if a mill speed below the rate speed is re-

Grinding and processing. WEG offers the most reliable and efficient solutions for milling plants for ferrous and non-ferrous products with their experience of mill drive systems. In the heart of a processing plant, the ball and SAG mills must be driven by solutions that adapt to the characteristics of the minerals in line with the whole process.
Larger ball and SAG mills, with higher installed power ratings relative to the mill diameter, offer higher efficiency and throughput, round-the-clock reliability and the opportunity to mine in remote areas. This makes low ore grades economical to grind.
A structured approach to the evaluation of the energy requirements of HPGR and SAG mill circuits in hard ore applications. P. Rosario; Engineering; 2010; Climate change, energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, and carbon footprint have gained high priority status in public interest (Sullivan and Oliva, 2007).
SAG Mill Circuit Example — Gold Processing SAG mill circuit example for gold processing [image: (135-6-3)] AG/SAG Mill. AG/SAG mills are normally used to grind run-off-mine ore or primary crusher product. Wet grinding in an AG/SAG mill is accomplished in a slurry of 50 to 80 percent solids. 2D and 3D simulations of particles in a SAG Mill

SAG mill. 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%. The largest SAG mill is 42' (12.8m) in diameter, powered by a 28 MW (38,000 HP) motor.
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 calculated, it showed the SAG mill consumed 20% less energy to produce final product material than the ball mill.

Behind the orange groves that line U.S. Highway 27 in Frostproof, Fla., a Nucor Steel construction crew is building a first-of-its-kind steel mill for the state. The micromill is smaller and more energy efficient than a traditional steel mill and produces rebar using scrap metal.
We have analytically derived a mathematical model of energy-saving ore grinding by a ball mill with a three-phase motion of grinding bodies, invariant to a change in the length of rods during wear. The model can estimate the energy efficiency of grinding larger pieces of ore based on the resulting volume of crushed large-lump material.
compared with SAG milling circuits (Davaanyam et al., 2015). The confined-bed breakage mechanism employed by the HPGR requires less energy to achieve the same degree of size reduction as SAG milling. The cost of the grinding media consumed in SAG mills provides an additional benefit that is greater for more competent ores.
