As primary grinding units which receive feed directly from crushers, industrial AG/SAG mills are difficult to control and stabilise owing to the variability of the feed ore characteristics in terms of hardness (work index), competency, and size distribution (F 80), as well as the harsh operating conditions of the mills (Thornton et al., 2005 ...

All autogenous (AG) and semiautogenous (SAG) mills use steel or rubber grates to hold back the grinding media, whilst allowing the product slurry to flow through and out of the mill. The total open area, size, shape and position of the holes varies considerably from installation to installation (NapierMunn et al., 1996), as given in Table 1.

Feed Size, F80: Primary crushed ore is mandatory to feed any SAG mill. Typical feed size range is 80% passing 130 to 160 mm. Softer ores will be a little finer but the finer size is not sustainable when the ore becomes hard. Precrushing to finer sizes enhances throughput as does crushing of pebbles from the SAG mill (usually minus 60 mm).

Over a relatively short time period taking a belt cut and sieving the material is the most accurate method of determining the size distribution of the ag/sag mill feed. However, fluctuations in feed size make such sizings valuable only if they can be done very frequently, which is clearly impracticable in a production environment.
