The problem I run into is that the import bus doesn't have enough slots for me to indicate everything I'd be making. I suppose a good way to have the sag mills operate on demand would be to set up an input container and have them grind whatever is given to them and then output it into a container with an import bus but the problem with the ...

3.5.2.2 Ball Mills. The ball mill accepts the SAG or AG mill product. Ball mills give a controlled final grind and produce flotation feed of a uniform size. Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5–10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is ...

The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
