Autogenous mills, or AG mills, can accomplish the same size reduction work as two or three stages of crushing and screening. Often used in grinding at modern mineral processing plants, AG mills reduce the material directly to the desired final size or prepare it for the following grinding stages.
1.. IntroductionIt is generally recognised that the most accurate means for predicting the specific energy of an autogenous (AG)/semi-autogenous (SAG) mill circuit is to pilot the circuit using a 6 ′ × 2 ′ mill (Mosher and Bigg, 2001).However, one of the major drawbacks of this approach is that a relatively large sample is required to do so.
For instance, semi-autogenous (SAG) mills are now widely used in mining machinery as highly crucial equipment, and the replaceable wear-resistant surface in SAG mills are provided by …
One of the workhorses of the minerals industry is the autogenous grinding (AG) mill and its derivative the semi-autogenous (SAG) mill. These are …

Self-grinding machine (AG Mi) and semi-self-grinding machine (SAG Mill) are widely used in power, ferrous and non-ferrous metals mineral processing, chemical, building materials and other industries. They grind a certain size of ore or other materials into finer Granularity.
Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter. These
The autogenous mill is similar in operation to a SAG mill but does not use grinding media. Compared with the ball mill grinder, it has a larger cylinder diameter and greater production capacity. The autogenous mill can process materials of any property, especially when grinding asbestos, iron ore, copper ore, limestone, gold ore, manganese ore ...
