The range of mill sizes and versatile applications allow SAG milling to be accomplished with fewer lines than conventional set-ups. This, in turn, contributes to lower capital and maintenance costs for a SAG mill circuit. Versatile applications . SAG milling extends itself to many applications due to the range of mill sizes available.
C O N S U L T I N G L T D TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM
crushing and single-stage ball milling circuit. Barratt, 1989, writes that a copper porphyry ore in a power-effi-cient circuit of SAG milling followed by ball milling should be 10% less efficient that the "maximum efficiency" grinding circuit (crushing, single-stage ball mill). Thus, the Etotal of a SAG and ball mill circuit is: Etotal=1.10 ...

The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
