energy
Justification
SAG mill is chosen as the primary
mill over the other tumbling
equipments due to its features of
large capacity ores handling,
fulfill the criteria of processing
coarse ore size of 20000 m and
equipped with grinding media to
achieve a consistence and finer
ores. Over- grinding is prevented
due to its capability to process
ores at short retention time.
Assumptions
Closed circuit design with wet grinding is employed in the process to handle high load capacity of ores. It is expected to achieve low power
consumption per ton of product, ensures product size required fulfilled and eliminate the possibility of over-grinding of ores with the use of
classifier like hydrocyclones.
Combination of SAG mill and ball mill are chosen as the design circuit in the aim to achieve low operating cost and maximize the performance.
