Choosing a SAG Mill to Achieve Design Performance
A further explanation is required to explain the importance of designing the SAG mill chamber to draw required power at optimum operating conditions of 75% critical speed and less than 30% by volume load. Recent studies in the three-foot diameter SAG mill are instructive. The

Unlock SAG mill capacity with process control optimisation
The basic strategy works by maximizing the SAG mill power, using a microphone or vibration sensor on the shell to indicate when the impact energy is low, and when the speed can be increased. Alternatively, if high energy impacts are detected, the SAG mill speed is reduced to protect the liners. Although this works well in most scenarios ...

SAG Mill Process Control
If the SAG mill is not intended to be the rate-limiting step in a process plant, then it is best to adjust the SAG load (and power) to hold a constant tonnage to satisfy another constraint elsewhere. Underground mines are an example: the hoisting capacity of the mine shaft is the rate-limiting step in the process, and the SAG mill must adapt to ...
