  • SAG Mill Ball Sizing

    As the larger feed rocks disappear quickly, the apparent charge density approaches values close to just 'balls plus slurry' (-5 ton/m3); that is, conventional grinding. In this case is common to use high ball charges to allow to draw the installed power, instead of increasing the mill speed (if you have a VSD) to avoid damaging the liners.
