Therefore, a really energy efficient circuit may mean three stages of grinding instead of only two and each stage can be slightly smaller and more efficient than one big one e.g. a SAG mill (or HRC) followed by a ball mill and with a tertiary Vertimill.

The SAG mill, in particular, was unable to achieve design tonnage initially and proved to be most troublesome.
ادامه مطلبin a SAG and Ball mill circuit where there is no scope for storage capacity between milling stages and throughput is normally limited by a bottleneck at one stage or the other. In this case any ore with a high BWi value will have reduced . throughput due to the ball mill despite the capability of the SAG mill to handle
ادامه مطلبThe harder component of the SAG mill feed from the primary crusher, that component with a higher bond work index, will be over represented in the pebble circuit (relative to the mill feed). In many cases the low grade or barren gangue component of the feed will have these characteristics of higher hardness and lower breakability relative to the mineralised component of the feed.
