SAG milling extends itself to many applications due to the range of mill sizes available. They can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening, a rod mill and some or all of the work done by a ball mill. SAG mills are also an optimum solution for wet grinding since crushing and screening in these cases can be difficult, if not impossible. …

As one of the machines widely used in mining, a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill can significantly improve the roughing efficiency of rock. But the SAG mill still faces the obstacles of significant energy consumption and empirical operation parameters. In order to obtain the optimal operation parameters of a SAG mill, in this paper, the discrete element …
Control stabilization for SAG mills. BrainWave is ideally suited to stabilize the operation of SAG mills. Effective grinding in a SAG mill depends largely on how it is loaded. A mill containing too much material does not allow for adequate movement of the ore and balls. A mill that does not contain enough material does not take advantage of the ...

So the answer to your question is yes, a SAG mill can be installed in an operation milling 2,000 tpd and it can be operated efficiently if the operators have the knowledge to operate it well. If the ore you are dealing with is a highly competent ore then please don't use SAG mill. Perform competency tests and decide from there.
This paper describes the function and operation of lubrication systems for Ball Mill and SAG Mill Drives. Provided within this paper are hydraulic schematics, functional description and a general overview of system layout as well as some of the important features and factors relevant to improving the reliability of this very critical part of the grinding mill drive system. …
But the SAG mill still faces the obstacles of significant energy consumption and empirical operation parameters. In order to obtain the optimal operation parameters of a SAG mill, in this paper, the discrete element method (DEM) is used to simulate the breakage process of the particles by controlling three parameters, i.e., the mill speed ratio,
The SAG Mill is a machine added by Ender IO. It uses Micro Infinity (µI) to grind (or mill) items into their crushed variants, like Ores into Dusts. The SAG Mill has four output slots; recipes can have 1-4 different outputs, with different chances of obtaining those outputs. Uniquely, the SAG Mill can use Grinding Balls made from various materials to increase energy efficiency …
The optimal performance of AG/SAG mills is the key to successful plant operation. All AG/SAG mills using radial or curved pulp lifters suffer from inherent material transport problems such as slurry and pebble pooling, which decrease throughput and increase energy consumption.

What is a SAG mill? The structure of the SAG mill (semi-automatic grinding mill) and the AG mill (autogenous grinding mill)are exactly the same, except that a certain proportion of auxiliary grinding media such as steel balls or steel rods …
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 ...
The purpose of this paper is to outline the design, specification, and operation of the 8.5-m-diam (28-ft-diam) SAG mill commissioned at Kidston Gold Mines during January 1985. Amenability of Kidston ore to SAG milling, coupled with substantial cost advantages, led to the specification of this mill, equipped with variable speed drive to overcome the large variation in ore hardness.

What is a SAG mill? The structure of the SAG mill (semi-automatic grinding mill) and the AG mill (autogenous grinding mill)are exactly the same, except that a certain proportion of auxiliary grinding media such as steel balls or steel rods are added as needed. During the process of the AG mill operation, some ores with diameters greater than 20mm but less than 80mm are not …

A control strategy recently implemented on a large variable-speed SAG mill at MMG's Century Zinc operation in Australia is shown in the chart (found on pg. 32). In this case, mill speed is the primary manipulated variable used to control mill load. While there is no generic control strategy for SAG milling there is a considerable amount of ...
SAG and AG Mills operate by lifting ore/grinding media and dropping it on the operating bed of the mill charge. High impacts from lifting ore and media promote impact breakage which is the primary mechanism for size reduction in the mill.
When future tonnage is to be increased, the SAG Mill can feed downstream ball milling to boost capacity. Amstar SAG/AG Mills range in size from 4.3m through 12.2m in diameter with powers as high as 28,000 kW. Our team of product engineers continually improves SAG/AG Mill designs in order to provide the most robust, safe, and efficient grinding ...
