The Selection and Design of Mill Liners

stresses in large SAG mills helped to drive the development of greatly improved liner materials. However, this cost engineering approach ignored the mill performance and overlooked the other key function of mill liners. The second primary function of a liner is to transfer rotary motion of the mill to the grinding media and charge.

Optimization of the SAG Grinding Process Using …

As grinding is a core pyrometallurgical process, the efficiency and continuous im-provement of comminution processes have been the principal focus in the last two decades, where semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) is considered the grinding system par excellence (at least in the Chilean case). The advantages of SAG grinding …

How a Grate Discharge Ball Mill Works

Each time the grate enters the mill charge, the horizontal force of the load in the mill deflects the grate. This stretches the rubber and forces any large material caught in the grate opening along through the grate slot. As the grate leaves the charge, the rubber assumes its original shape. This diaphragming action works the large particles ...

Abstract. The noise generated by a ball mill during a batch grinding operation is investigated and the results show that, for a given ore, the noise levels may vary with time of grind, ore charge weight and mill speed. The role of the ore in absorbing noise energy is suggested as a possible control variable for the grinding process and as an ...
