Different combinations of SAG mill ball charge and grate open area were tested until 2006. A higher load level was achieved after several changes in the grate design that prevented both liner and grate breakage. Upon resolution of issues related to the mill grate design, the project achieved the target throughput of 41 kt/d. Phoenix
Its performance depends on the mill size and design, the grate design, and mill operating conditions, such as mill speed and charge level. The difficulties associated with slurry transportation from SAG mills have become more apparent in recent years with the increasing trend to build larger-diameter mills for grinding high tonnages.

The data is taken from Rexnord Process Machinery Reference Manual, Rexnord Process Machinery Division, Milwaukee, 1976 The effect of varying mill speed on the power drawn by the mill is shown graphically in Figure 8.4
Sep 01, 1986· A model for the effect of flowrate and viscosity of slurry on the hold-up of slurry in a grate-discharge grinding mill has been developed. Given detailed specifications of the grate design (such as the area in the grate within which the holes are situated, the number of holes per m 2 and the hole size) and the flowrate and viscosity of the slurry flowing through the mill, the model provides ...
Here I try to explain how ground slurry is discharged from a grate ball mill (or SAG). How it works is, the slurry flows across the grate as it would a screen panel. On the other side of the grate/screens are veins like a pump impeller. As the mill turns/rotates the slurry is "pumped" out and discharged. Discharge Grates The natural flexibility of rubber has allowed rubber manufacturers to ...
The effect of liner wear on SAG mill performance has gained much attention in recent years. It is commonly observed that the three key performance criteria of SAG milling; throughput, power and product size all improve as the liner wears. The increase in throughput is generally ascribed to the increase in the grate apertures and...
Jun 23, 2020· Converting a mill from an overflow to a grate discharge arrangement leads to an increased power draw. This happens because the installation of the grate discharge arrangement enables the mill to run with a lower level of slurry due to it being no longer necessary for the slurry to build up inside the mill until it overflows from the mill discharge.
Different combinations of SAG mill ball charge and grate open area were tested until 2006. A higher load level was achieved after several changes in the grate design that prevented both liner and grate breakage.

Pulp Lifters and Cone Discharge of SAG Mills Cone discharge design affect: • Discharge flow capacity (then, mill capacity) • Slurry trajectory • Slurry return from the trunnion • Use of the trommelarea for clasiffication • Excessive wear in preferential areas of the trommel 1 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 6 5
(AG), semi-autogenous (SAG) and grate discharge ball mills. The flow capacity (grinding capacity) of these mills is strongly influenced by the discharge grate design - open area and position of apertures, as well as the performance of the pulp lifters. As mill sizes have progressively increased and closed-circuiting has become more popular
mill performance could become worse or better by putting in a new shell liner. Data from pilot plant test work illustrates the influence of the shell lifting effect on the grind for a primary grinding duty. Figure 5 shows the evolution of the mill discharge product size in relation to the lifting effect of the liners.

Jan 01, 2007· The discharge rate of the product material depends on how efficiently the discharge pump (grate and pulp lifters) is operating. Similar to the impeller design affecting the pump capacity, the pulp lifter design affects the discharge capacity (or mill throughput) of the SAG/AG grinding mills.
The discharge rate depends on how efficiently the discharge pump (grate and pulp lifters) operates. Similar to the impeller design affecting pump capacity, the pulp lifter design affects the discharge capacity (or mill throughput) of AG and SAG grinding mills.
SAG mill throughput as a function of grate open area As shown in Figure 2 the grate open area has a strong effect on Sossego SAG mill throughput. The nominal capacity of the circuit should be achieved with a combination of 13.5% ball charge and 10.8% open area with 3 and 3.5 inch apertures.
SAG mill liner development draws primarily on practical experience from SAG milling operations supported by computer-based modeling of charge motion in SAG mills and on established good design practice. Liner design needs to respond to the process aspects of mill liner action that are critical to good SAG mill performance, i.e., the impact of shell liners on the grinding action and of grates ...
