In modern low-grade mining operations, comminution uses energy and other consumables on a scale that is unprecedented. Today, new deposits are being found in more remote areas and are trending toward harder ores and finely grained minerals. These factors have …

Conducted in a bench-scale comminution mill, the SPI test measures the energy needed to perform a standard size reduction and is expressed as an index. It is a measure of the hardness of the ore from a SAG or AG milling perspective.

Interesting, as in a recent article in Mining Magazine (July/August 2014, pp. 27), Kurt O'Bryan of Weir Minerals says that, although SAG mills have been around for over 40 years, the demand to process more ore in less time is a key factor in where comminution trends are heading. He says that "SAG mills have to be bigger to meet these demands.

The SAG operator who has not been asked to 'find a way' to 'push ore' through the SAG mill is rare indeed! As a result, many (if not most) operators view the SAG mill as a restriction in the grinding circuit that must be overcome, instead of a comminution unit operation required to …

SAG mill control fundamentally means managing the load in the mill by adjusting the feed rate of ore to the mill and/or manipulating the rotational speed of the mill. The best way to measure load is to mount the mill on load cells. The load cells are calibrated to measure the total weight of water, grinding media (balls) and ore in the mill ...

Not surprisingly, comminution is a huge expense. After all, we're crushing rocks here. Interestingly enough, the crushing isn't always the most expensive part of crushing. Crushing machinery, particularly the SAG mill is massive, and much of the expense of running the mill comes from powering the movement of this giant mass of steel.
