عرض المزيدDuring autogenous grinding, ore can be broken through grinding or disintegration. If large lump ore is easy to disintegrate, the autogenous mill has too small quantity of large lump ore that can be used as grinding medium and too large quantity of medium or small sized ore. The hard-to-grind particles will accumulate to become hard …
عرض المزيدThe two 22.5 MW AG mills, 11.6 metres (m) (38 feet [ft]) diameter by 13.7 m (45 ft) long, are the largest mills by volume operating in the world. Each AG mill feeds a 10 MW pebble mill via a unique coupling of flow and pebble feed with the pebble mill product recycling to the spiral classifier that is closed with the AG mill.
عرض المزيدIt 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 the increase in mill volume due to the wear of these components.
