Autogenous Mill Types. There are basically three general types of autogenous grinding mills: a. Primary autogenous mills which process directly the total discharge of primary crushers (usually set at 6″ to 10″ open side setting). Under some circumstances and for certain types of ore, small ball charges (usually less than 5% of …

In modern mineral processing, semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are important grinding equipment. A SAG mill has the advantages of high operation rate, large output, and large crushing ratio, which makes SAG mills have the characteristics of short process time, low management cost, and suitability for large-scale production compared to other mills.

For autogenous mills, like the dry Aerofall mills, MacPherson and Turner [7] established that the power consumption was a function of mill diameter and length. For dry commercial AG mills they derived the power as (9.8) P M = 0.992 L D 2.8 ρ c where ρ c = bulk density of the mill charge (rock plus balls and water) (t/m 3 )

All autogenous (AG) and semi-autogenous (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 (Napier-Munn et al., 1996), as given in Table 1.

The tests were performed in a rubber lined 10 ft by 5 ft Hardinge cascade mill. The mill was fed from two different bin systems through balances and conveyor belts. The feed rate was calculated from flowrate and percent solids of weight. Energy consumption per ton of feed was calculated from the total energy consumption of each test.

Among the different grinding processes, Autogenous (AG) and Semi-Autogenous (SAG) mills are widely used for ore size reduction. The main difference between these two mills is the use of steel balls as grinding media, typically in the order of 6–12% in volume (Sbarbaro et al., 2005), in the SAG mills.
