correction factor, which is 1 for small particles (normal breakage) and less than 1 for large particles that need to be nipped and fractured by the grinding media (abnormal breakage). Q. i. is calculated by Equation (4), Q. i = 1 1 +(x. i / m) L (4) where. m. is a parameter that depends on milling conditions and denotes the particle size when ...
SAG/AG milling option is ideal for starter projects with significant exploration and expansion potential. Currently a number of the largest SAG mills designed are installed in single stage configuration. This paper discusses the challenges associated with the process design of single stage SAG/AG milling circuits, the design flexibility required to
The laboratory test work program was carried out on SAG belt cut and geo-unit samples of two BC copper-porphyry orebodies yielding an exponent of -0.56 across the range of typical ball mill particle size targets. For validation, the equation was run against African data by Levin (1989)
For tumbling mills the 2 indices relate to "coarse" and "fine" ore properties plus an efficiency factor which represents the influence of a pebble crusher in AG/SAG mill circuits. "Coarse" in this case is defined as spanning the size range from a P80 of 750

The purpose of the primary crusher is to reduce the ROM ore to a size amenable for feeding the secondary crusher or the SAG mill grinding circuit. The ratio of reduction through a primary crusher can be up to about 8:1. Feed: ROM up to 1.5 m; Product: -300mm (for transport) to -200mm (for SAG mill) Feed Rate: 160 to 13,000 tph
The results in SAG-Mill line 2 are even more dramatic. Because of segregation on the coarse feed stockpile, SAG-mill 2 receives a higher percentage of coarse material. The KnowledgeScape strategy's ability to maintain smooth and stable operation of the mill was more apparent when contrasted to the DCS control on the "difficult" line.
correction factors to adjust the required mill pinion energy to the circuit's operating conditions: W TOT = W SAG + W BM = (CF Feed CF PC W SDT) + (CF Coarse CF Fine CF Dia) (10 S d-BWI) (1/P 80 1/2 – 1/F 80 1/2) where CF Feed = SAG feed size F 80 correction factor where a factor of 5% is applied for each 1 inch (25.4 mm).

As expected, without the use of any corrections the predictions for the AG/SAG mill circuits are very poor. However, by applying a single correction factor of 2 to the AG/SAG mill circuit data, the results were made to align with the ball mill results, as shown in Fig. 6. Download : Download full-size image; Fig. 5. Observed vs. predicted ...
Yes, there is no ball mills in that grinding circuit. The p80 to the SAG mill was at about 6" while its product (flotation feed) was at 40 microns. So the answer to your question is yes, a SAG mill can be installed in an operation milling 2,000 tpd and it can be operated efficiently if the operators have the knowledge to operate it well.
Ms = SAGDesign test mill charge mass (g) K a = Correction factor for feed size K b = Correction factor for pebble crushing T 80 = Mill transfer size, 80% passing (µm) W BM = Ball mill specific energy from T 80 1.7 mm to final product P 80, using Bond's Law, (kWh/t) W T = Total grinding mill circuit specific energy (kWh/t) Note that K BM is ...
Milling is the physical crushing of malt kernels into smaller particles in preparation for mashing and lautering. The various milling processes need to be manipulated carefully to find a balance between a grind that is too fine and one that is too coarse. See lautering and mashing.
this correction is calculated from the ag/sag se resulting from the ag/sag mill feed f80 to a t80 of 750um the calculation is as follows: s.g factor=ag/sag se(at 750um)x (2.78/s.g.) - ag/sag se(at 750um) 0.23
For mills operating with finer feed and/or in-circuit pebble crushing, an adjustment factor is used to account for the reduced SAG mill specific energy (Dobby et al., 2001). The adjustment factor, termed f SAG, is then used as follows (Dobby et al., 2001): (10) SAG kWh t = 5.9 SGI T 80 0.55 f SAG. 3.2. Fine feed and pebble crushing

An updated data set for sag mill power model calibration This paper expands the SAG mill survey database published by the Author at Procemin 2013. The new database includes 49 published SAG/AG mill surveys and includes mills from all over the world.
operation. In single quarries the amount waste fines can become up to 30-40 %. Another example is lump limestone producers. Nordkalk Storugns with a production of 2,5-3 Mton annually is the largest. The –25 mm fines are in most cases a worthless or low price product. About 25 % of the plant's production is fines.
this additional fee by increasing your power factor. 2) Increased system capacity and reduced system losses in your electrical system By adding capacitors (KVAR generators) to the system, the power factor is improved and the KW capacity of the system is increased. For example, a 1,000 KVA transformer with an 80% power factor

in the AG/SAG mill product that can be considered as final circuit product, or Fines Fraction. The Fines Factor is the Fines Fraction expressed as a percentage of circuit feed (Q). T1' is the 80% passing size of the Fines Fraction. • Q2 is the fraction of material in the AG/SAG mill product that needs additional grinding in the ball mill,
minimum size of fragments (referred to as the fine-size) that can be delineated depending on resolution and scale of the image. Secondly it assumes that a percentage of the non-delineated area contains fines.
