SAG Mill Design and Specification . The Kidston plant was designed to process 7500 tpd fresh ore of average hardness; but to optimise profit during the first two years of operation when softer oxide ore will be treated, the process equipment was sized to handle a throughput of up to 14 000 tpd. Some of the equipment, therefore, will become ...

Sanjeev Latchireddi, Chief Process Engineer – Grinding Americas, Outokumpu Technology, looks at the shift from ball mills to SAG mills. Nowadays, the more successful plants are those that have adopted effective and efficient strategies to optimize their plant operation.

Studies Show Snags to Mill Optimization. More than 100 virtual operators have been deployed over the course of three years at Los Bronces mine. Above, the Los Bronces mine milling control room in Chile. (Photo: Anglo American) Two studies identify obstacles to SDGs, while a major miner announces the windfall from deploying automation.

Ball mill and sag mill girth gear, trunnion head. Both the ball mill and the sag mill can process non-metals, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, rare metals, etc., and are divided into dry and wet types to meet the needs of various materials. The structure of the ball mill and sag mill is similar.
