The SAG mill at the site grinds the gold ore which is then sent to the autoclave for further processing. The impact of steel balls against ore particles is an efficient grinding method, but it can also wear the liner that protects the cylinder. This can in turn increase maintenance and energy costs.

Mills require different liner profiles and designs depending on mill size, speed, charge, charge level, type, size of grinding media, expected service life, and – of course – ore size and properties, such as hardness and abrasiveness. SAG mill A SAG mill is usually a primary mill for grinding coarse ore directly from the crushed stockpile.

How do you know if a larger SAG ball will increase your tonnage and how to select it? When is it time to change to a larger Ball in your SAG Mill? It's difficult to generalize on SAG mill ball size selection as it depends on a number of factors: Ore properties; Level of impact breakage in the mill (speed, lifter design, ball load) Grate size ...
Also we observe for SAG mills that ore competence and feed size distribution, being major influence on rock to steel ratio in the mill, are significant factors that influence SAG mill steel wear. We've observed the abrasion index to be a less useful means of predicting SAG mill grinding media wear.
Mineral processing plants commonly employ semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mills for size reduction within their grinding circuits. Despite autogenous grinding (AG) mills, which rely exclusively on the ore for grinding purposes, SAG mills utilise a combination of steel balls and coarse ore to achieve the desired discharge particle size [2].
Peening is also related to the metallurgy of the liner material - a more ductile liner will peen more easily, a more brittle liner will be more likely to shatter or break. Work hardening of the liners at the end of their service life can make a ductile liner more brittle.
The contribution of advanced computation techniques, such as the Discrete Element Method (DEM), to predicting the wear profiles of liners, and integrating this information …

Some liner manufacturers do supply wedges to prevent steel packing between the liners, so as to reduce the risks from spread of liners and to ease liner removal.
But we are seeing more and more major copper and gold operations now taking advantage of composite liners in large SAG mills," says Jack Meegan, Product Line Manager for Liners and Wear Parts in FL. For a customer in South America, FL recently replaced a chromoly liner in a 40 ft Ø SAG mill with a rubber ceramic …
I am looking at the possibility of converting a steel/rubber hybrid AKA Polymet lined SAG mill to steel liners. From a cost per item perspective it looks good, however I have limited understanding of how changing the liner will affect the grinding mechanics (if it does). Does having the harder steel affect the breakage rate?
The efficient processing of manganese ore relies on a combination of advanced equipment and innovative methods tailored to the specific characteristics of the ore deposit.
