Overload Detection in Semi-Autogenous Grinding: A Nonlinear Process
Detecting the onset of overloading in a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill is a challenging task for operators to perform due to the complex and nonlinear nature of an overload. To detect an overload, operators must simultaneously monitor the correlations between several measurements of the SAG process. However, overloading often goes ...
Autogenous Mill | SpringerLink
This type of mill is semi-autogenous mill. The maximum particle size of lump ore fed into semi-autogenous mill is 250 mm. Autogenous grinding uses the same equipment as autogenous grinding. Large autogenous mill usually uses circumferential motor and operates with gearless drive. The capital investment of circumferential motor …
