SAG mills are primarily used at gold, copper and platinum mines where steel balls are used for the grinding. The Manta Controls Advanced Control System, called the SAG …
To stabilize and optimize the operation, ramp up production and prevent damages to the SAG mill liners, Cía. Minera Antapaccay contracted with FL to implement …
Model predictive control is able to optimize the control of processes that exhibit an integrating type response in combination with transport delays or variable interaction, …
The resulting signal is transmitted to the acoustic indicating controller which, in turn, sends a remote set point to the SAG mill speed controller. The speed of the SAG mill is then …
The basic strategy works by maximizing the SAG mill power, using a microphone or vibration sensor on the shell to indicate when the impact energy is low, and when the …
In this section, we will delve into the various aspects of operating a SAG mill, including starting up and shutting down procedures, monitoring and control systems, as …
The combination of LoadIQ™ smart sensor technology and the Advanced Process Control system, ECS/ProcessExpert®, will minimise critical impacts inside your mill to prevent …
Where I work now, Minera San Cristobal in Bolivia, we use sound control on both the SAG and Ball Mills. The result of this control is a 25% increase in throughput, over the plant …
We use electronic ears here on Sag mills. The signal is converted to 4-20 and goes into the PLC and is transfered to the DCS and Expert Control system. The sound …
the correct power required to grind ore in a SAG mill, by developing ore hardness variability functions for the ore body to be mined. This paper describes the …
