A SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mill is a giant rotating cylinder filled with grinding media and the ore being reduced. As the mill rotates, the grinding media lifts and the impact crushes the feed material. SAG mill control refers to the practice of managing the mill load, which is the amount of material inside the mill at any given time.
ity and power source, influence SAG mill selection. SAG mill drives There are two types of SAG mill drives. Power is transmitted to the grind-ing mill either through a pinion and ring Dan B.

The SAG mill is often one of the largest pieces of mining equipment and is key for operations. Often used in the mining process of precious metals, the SAG mills break up solid ore into small pieces for processing. We understand the importance of the SAG mill and have the proper tools to accurately monitor the temperature of the mill's motor. ...
SAG Mill Horsepower — Drive Power. When the normal operating horsepower has been defined. It can be related to a design drive horsepower. If the mill operating horsepower is defined as "net at the shell", then the appropriate losses for trunnion bearings, pinionshaft bearings, and gearing must be accounted for to compute the power at the ...
