AG Autogenous SAG SemiAutogenous Mill Design Calculations
Power drawn at the pinion is 448 kW, kWh/tonne (SAG mill) and 570 kW, kWh/tonne (ball mill) when processing mtph, for a total of kWh/tonne or % above the conventional estimate. A ball charge volume which is lower than those tested has been selected in order to minimize wear.
