Optimization of mill performance by using online ball and pulp measurements Soon after a stop, a mill is a dangerous place to enter for the personnel tasked with taking measurements or samples. Crash stops are difficult to handle. The mill and all feed streams should be stopped simultaneously but, often, they are stopped around about the same time.

The Grinding Circuit Optimization Challenge. The Ball Charge in SAG and Ball Mills, in other words, the fraction of the mill volume constituted by balls, has a significant impact on the performance of a mill and the greater Grinding circuit. Running at the wrong Ball Charge adversely impacts not only throughput but the consistency of the ...
Another example of Mine-to-Mill optimization is the increase of the SAG mill throughput in Porgera mine, Papua New Guinea, where by using this concept studies showed that was possible, by optimizing the blasting design, reaches up to 25% of increase in processing capacity (Grundstrom, Kanchibotla, Jankovich, & Thornton, 2001).
Gearless mill drive (GMD) technology has further expanded the use of large AG milling allowing Outotec to produce the world's largest SAG mill of 42' in diameter drawing power at 28 MW. Today, Outotec is the world leading supplier of gearless AG mills operating globally.
Abstract The authors analyze the influence of the semi-autogenous (SAG) mill parameters on the mill grinding efficiency, energy consumption and the tangential cumulative contact energy. This paper provides a new liner parameter design and optimization method, which offers theoretical guidance for the optimization design of liner parameters.

The operation of AG/SAG mills is sensitive to mill filling, therefore developing grindcurves to relate mill filling to performance indicators such as throughput, power draw, and product size can assist in achieving optimal mill operations. The throughput, power draw, and product size have been shown to peak at different mill filling levels.

SAG mills have a higher installed power density for a given plant footprint relative to AC mills. With the combination of finer grind and a lower installed power density (based on the lower density of the mill charge), a typical AG mill has a lower throughput, a lower power draw, and produces a finer grind.
To achieve SAG mill equipment optimization, you should combine practical experiencewith pass-or-fail evaluation studies that modulate project resources or operational conditions. We do not recommend that you carry out a project only with in-the-field trial- …
Single stage SAG Mills are very beneficial in reducing CAPEX for plants with a staged throughput approach. When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. Fuller-Traylor SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW.
