I know of a practice that uses 50 percent of the theoretical consumption calculated by the Bond formula for ball mills; for SAG Mills 65 percent of the theoretical consumption is used considering the SAG mill as a ball mill.The rotating paddle used in the Bond Ai test is made of SAE4325 steel hardened to 500 Brinell and therefore not ...
Nov 26, 2019· The biggest characteristic of the sag mill is that the crushing ratio is large. The particle size of the materials to be ground is 300 ~ 400mm, sometimes even larger, and the minimum particle size of the materials to be discharged can reach 0.1 mm. The calculation shows that the crushing ratio can reach 3000 ~ 4000, while the ball mill's ...
