 · The Julius Kruttschnitt Minerals Research Centre (JKMRC) has been involved in the study and modelling of industrial autogenous (ag) and semi-autogenous (sag) mills for over 20 years. Recent research at the JKMRC has developed a new ag/sag mill model which is based on charge dynamics.

A Method of C alculating Autogenous/ Semi-Autogenous

 · of large AG/SAG mills and large ball mills. However it is necessary to discuss their operation because a Rod mill product has a similar slope to AG/SAG mills. This product slope averages less than 0.5 when plotted on log/log paper and therefore contains an extra amount of ne material fi compared to a PSD having a 0.5 slope. This fi ne material

Optimizing your SAG mill operationInternational Mining

 · The optimal performance of AG/SAG mills is the key to successful plant operation. All AG/SAG mills using radial or curved pulp lifters suffer from inherent material transport problems such as slurry and pebble pooling which decrease throughput and increase energy consumption. The TPL completely eliminates slurry pooling and pebble pooling
