Mill drive selection for semiautogenous grinding mills

Early SAG mill designs using gear drives were limited in the amount of power that could be applied to the pin-ions, 3.7 MPa (5000 hp). The exception to this design was the Hibbing taconite operation. It used two4.47 MPa (6000 hp) motors to drive a 1I-m-diam x 4.5-m long (36-ft-diam x 15 ft) autogenous mill. However, recent SAG mill designs now ...

Applying grindcurves to mill operation and optimisation

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.

Inching drives – one way to improve mill safety

Ignoring mechanical losses in this drive train, the power transmission at each stage, defined as torque x speed, is constant. The typical mechanical inching drive motor speed is around 1500 to 1800 RPM while the mill inching speed is in the order of 0.1 to 0.15 RPM. Thus, the gear reduction ratio between the inching drive motor and the mill is ...

SAG Mill Optimization using Model Predictive Control

Control of -SemiAutogenous Grinding(SAG) mill weight is an example of an important process that exhibits many of these aspects. Maintaining the SAG mill weight at the optimum value is critical for achieving maximum grind rate efficiency and mill production (Powell, M.S., van der Westhuizen, A.P., & Mainza, A.N. 2009).
