This distribution affects the SAG mill load and the load affects directly the mill power and the efficiency of the mill operation (Van Nierop and Moys, 2001). If a SAG mill has been designed with a conventional power or specific energy model which do not consider the projected feed size distribution it is likely that this mill will reach the ...

Mill power Usually, plant operators use mill power readings as an indicator of ball filling degree and, often, try to keep it at the maximum level. It is well known that the mill absorbed power depends on operating parameters other than ball level, such as pulp density and liner configuration.

SAG Mill power draw models are used in mill design and grinding circuit modelling to predict how much power will be consumed by a particular mill geometry and operating configuration. This paper will compare SAG mill models by Morrell, Loveday (using "Power Numbers" published by Barratt) and Austin against several published mill surveys.
