The ball charge of a SAG mill is about 9% to 20%.This process takes place inside the large rotating drum of SAG mill which is filled with balls partially. Interior of the drum uses the lifting plates. These plates inside the drum are responsible for picking the grinding material up to fall down again throughout the rotations. Repeated collisions between the steel balls and raw materials (ore ...
SAG milling extends itself to many applications due to the range of mill sizes available. They can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening, a rod mill and some or all of the work done by a ball mill. SAG mills are also an optimum solution for wet grinding since crushing and screening in these ...

The grinding ball mills are equipments present in mining plants, being important in the ore comminution circuits. Depending on numerous factors, such as, for example, inappropriate design, manufacturing, overloads, poor maintenance and inadequate operating procedures, flaws are developed in the structural components of this equipment.
Ball Mill PINION SHAFT BEARINGS. Pinion shaft bearings are of the SKF antifriction type mounted in a common twin bearing assembly. Bearings are fixed in place so that the pinion shaft of the mill is always in alignment with the drive components. Vbelt driven mills are furnished with an outboard bearing of similar construction.

SAG mill ball charge determination and its influence on mill drive requirements Abstract: In semiautogenous grinding (SAG), the grinding mill inventory, ( volume of total charge, volume of ball charge, etc.) is important in determining the optimum operating condition for maximum production (tph), minimum specific energy (kwh/t) or lowest cost (/t). A twodimensional graphical method is ...

Any failure to the gear system leads to the total system failure. Imagine driving a car with a broken gear in its gearbox. Knowing the various modes by which the gears tend to fail helps one to identify the problem at an initial stage and rectify the problem related to the gear. Now let us look into the various modes by which the gears fail: The various major areas by which the gears tend to ...
Ut, SAG mill and a 11,200 kW gearless drive for the El Teniente, Chile, SAG mill. In a continued call for larger, even more powerful drives, Siemens kept pace. In 1996, Freeport ordered the first gearless drive for a 38foot SAG mill located at the company''s Grasberg plant in Indonesia. This gearless drive provides an astonishing 20,400 kW of power. In 1998, Siemens supplied the first ...

SAG mills with a rated power of up to 35 MW. As well as ever larger SAG mills, ball mills are also expanding in size. In the late 1990s the trend moved towards using GMDs to power these larger ball mills, as well as using the drive to vary the speed. GMDs quickly moved from 20'' ball mills, expanding to 24, 25 and then 26'' mills. In early ...
Semiautogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diametertolength ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ballmilling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter. These
Ball Mill Operation. Ball mills ride on steel tires or supported on both ends by trunnions. Girth gears bolted to the shell drive the mill through a pinion shaft from a prime mover drive. The prime movers are usually synchronized motors. During rotation, a portion of the charge is lifted along the inside perimeter.

SAG mills mimic the same shortcoming. It follows that in order to obtain the specifi c energy (SE) to achieve a certain transfer size, based on the 80 per cent passing value, an ineffi ciency factor must be applied to the SE of single stage ball mills, rod mills or AG/SAG mills when calculating power according to the Bond Third Theory method. Rod mill and AG/SAG mill products are similar and ...
