In mining, a Semi-Autogenous Grinding mill (SAG) is the equipment used at mineral processing plants in the size reduction process, making the ore suitable for the next stage of flotation. Its use lies in significant processing and reduction capability offered by this kind of mill, where maximize the operational continuity and production is ...
Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill. Wet or dry; Higher capacity than A-G mill grinding; Primary, coarse grinding (up to 400 mm feed size) Grinding media is grinding feed plus 4-12% ball charge (ball dia.100- 125 mm) High capacity (short retention time) Less sensitive to feed composition (critical size material)
Autogenous Mill. The Autogenous Mill, also known as AG Mill, is a type of grinding mill used in the mining industry. This machine uses ore and rock itself as grinding media to perform its job. Unlike other types of mills that use steel balls or rods for grinding materials, the Autogenous Mill relies on the material being ground to break itself ...

The paper highlights the features of constructing a model of a wet semi-autogenous grinding mill based on the discrete element method and computational fluid dynamics. The model was built using Rocky DEM (v. 4.4.2, ESSS, Brazil) and Ansys Fluent (v. 2020 R2, Ansys, Inc., United States) software. A list of assumptions and boundary …
The two main character of an Autogenous Mill e.g. size reduction which occurs through the detachment of material from the surface of larger particles (referred to as 'abrasion') and the grinding ...
Autogenous/Semi-autogenous (AG/SAG) grinding mill operation is aimed at reducing ore size from several millimetres (e.g. 5–250 mm) to considerable microns (e.g. 10–300 µm) together with mineral liberation, suitable for downstream pre-concentration and extraction processes ...
Autogenous grinding process is the grinding process in which the ore in grinding mill is crushed by the interaction between the ore particles or between the ore …
Grinding is a powdering or pulverizing process using the rock mechanical forces of impaction and attrition. The two main objectives for a grinding process are: To liberate individual minerals trapped in rock crystals …
Since the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and Autogenous Mill (AG Mill) under the Fuller-Traylor brand. Semi-autogenous grinding uses a minimal ball charge in the range of 6-15% while autogenous grinding uses ore only.
The process in which steel balls of 5–15% volume are added into the autogenous mill to enhance the autogenous grinding efficiency is called semiautogenous grinding. Based on practical experience, the size of steel ball should be 100–150 mm, for too small size will bring unsatisfactory result, and too big size will likely damage the lining ...
1) Semi Autogenous Grinding (SAG) Mill Semi Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill adalah peralatan / sirkuit grinding yang paling sering diminati dibandingkan dengan sirkuit konvensional dikarenakan memiliki beberapa keuntungan-keuntungan, seperti biaya yang lebih rendah, kemampuan menangani material basah dan lengket, flowsheet yang lebih …
A semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill is dependent on rotation to carry the grinding media around the mill for minerals impact and attrition, as presented in Figure 1.It is an energy-intensive unit operation and requires extremely wasteful equipment in terms of energy utilization and consumption.
Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel
Autogenous grinding is a process of grinding ore in a rotating cylinder using large pieces of the same ore. Autogenous mills operate mechanically like the ball mills; …
Grinding accounts for more than half of the mining sector's total energy usage, where the semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) circuits are one of the main components.

The semi-autogenous grinding mill can be divided into the dry grinding type and the wet grinding type. Currently, the wet grinding type is more frequently used. AGICO produces semi-autogenous mills of various …
1. Introduction. Grinding is a key mineral production process, which accounts for more than half of the total capital investment for a typical mineral processing operation [1].As a key comminution asset, performance of the milling circuit directly impacts the downstream metal yield [2, 3].In typical mineral processing operations, the overall …
Autogenous mill is a type of grinding equipment that crushes material by mutual impact, grinding and peeling effect among material grains. In 1880, cylindrical grinding …
Ore Testing for AG & SAG Grinding Mill Design. The application of autogenous and semi-autogenous grinding circuits in recent years has contributed toward substantial savings in capital and …
Grinding rods and balls can be obtained in uniform sizes, weights and of a specified quality. Their action in a mill can be reasonably predicted. In autogenous and semi-autogenous grinding, where all or most of the grinding media is also the material to be ground, those fixed …
Autogenous mills use the ore itself as the grinding media, while semi-autogenous mills use a combination of ore and steel balls. These mills operate by rotating a large drum filled with the ore, which impacts and grinds the particles against the mill walls. Autogenous and semi-autogenous mills are more energy-efficient and are suitable for fine ...
Grinding mills in which comminution takes place without grinding aids are known as autogenous grinding (AG) mills or fully autogenous grinding (FAG) mills. …
AG MILL or SAG MILL introduction. AG MILL(autogenous grinder) or SAG MILL(semi-autogenous grinder), also known as No media mill,, which works principle same as ball mill, the difference is even greater its cylinder diameter, without a ball or any other grinding media, the use of the cylinder body is pulverized material itself as a medium in …
Autogenous grinding (AG) and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills use the material to be ground as the grinding media. Autogenous grinding mills use larger rocks to impact and break smaller rocks as the mill rotates.

Grinding is one of the most important and expensive steps of mineral processing. Therefore, different types of grinding mills such as rod mills, ball mills, semi-autogenous (SAG) mills and autogenous (AG) mills can be utilized for comminution of mineral ores [].Up to today, SAG mills and AG mills have been widely used to reduce …
The high profile liner is designed to give the media the higher lift. This type will be used in mills that are designed for primary grinding and as a result require the impact of the higher cascade. Ball mills working as the secondary portion of a grinding circuit will utilize the lower profile liners. The reason is as lift decreases, friction ...
