A high aspect SAG mill had an ID of 6.0 m and the length measured 4.0 m along the central line. The mill was charged with ore having a S.G. of 2.65 and the load was 40% of the mill volume. The grinding media steel balls occupied 12.2 % of the mill volume. The mill was rotated at 75% of its critical speed, which was 12.9 rpm. Estimate:1.
The discharge grates of the SAG mill were identified as a key component in the SABC circuit, and their design is a crucial factor in the mill's performance [17,18,19,20,21]. The initial design of the grate section caused a serious accumulation of pebbles within the SAG mill which contributed to a decreased grinding efficiency.
