Physical Bauxite Processing: Crushing and Grinding of Bauxite Springer

This option comprises an open circuit SAG mill followed by a closedcircuit ball mill. Due to the high throughputs associated with this circuit, the ball mill is most often closed with a hydrocyclone classifier. The course material is returned to the ball mill feed and the fine overflow product reports to the downstream process.

Firstly, there was a serious flaw in the power configuration of the SAG mill and ball mill (both rated at 6000 kW with a single pinion drive). The capacity of the SAG mill was not fully utilized, as the actual operating power draw was only 3358 kW. This meant it was only operating at 56% of its maximum power, providing large room for improvement.

What's the Difference Between SAG Mill and Ball Mill

What's the Difference Between SAG Mill and Ball Mill

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 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
