Recycle pebble crushing is widely deployed in autogenous grinding (AG) and semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill circuits. The application of pebble crushers can significantly boost circuit throughput by reducing critical size pebbles that potentially cause a bottle-neck in a primary grinding operation. Previous research shows that by controlling the cone crusher operational parameters, the ...

· Regardless of whether they''re receiving feed directly from an upstream SAG mill or further reducing pebbles that have passed through a dedicated cone crusher, High Pressure Grinding Rolls offer highly efficient reduction, generating substantial amounts of fines that reduce the energy required for downstream milling.
Full Scale Test Circuit Based upon the results of the pilot plant test work, a decision was made to conduct a full scale test in 1990 utilizing one of the ten (10) primary mill lines at the National Steel Pellet Plant. Primary Mill Line No. 10 would be converted to a fully autogenous grinding mill with pebble extraction and crushing. Engineering and installation of the test circuit was ...
Pebble Crusher - Cone Crusher The pebble is an excellent raw material for producing aggregate, an important ... textures, and can have streaks of quartz and different colored sedimentary rock. ... so mobile crushers for pebble processing can play a far more important role.
Screen oversize pebbles were conveyed to a recycle crusher, where they were crushed and returned to the SAG mill feed conveyor. A 736 Allis Chalmers pebble crusher (110 kW) performed this duty. A Process Flow Diagram is presented in Figure 2. The 8.53 m Ø x 3.92 m EGL (28 x 12.8-ft) SAG mill is fitted with two 1850 kW motors. An
Actually the oversize of screen after AG or SAG mill is called pebble and then the cone crusher in this circuit is called pebble crusher. SAG mill is Semi-Autogenous Mill which there is up to 15% ball inside and AG mill is Autogenous Mill which there is no ball inside the mill. Hope it helps. Hassan
SAG mill and its pebble crushers. The scope of this thesis is to examine the dynamic relations between the SAG mill and the pebble crusher in a closed circuit and thus to optimize the circuit efficiency by controlling the pebble crusher operational settings. In this thesis, two modeling techniques are proposed for simulating the dynamics in the
· Conventionally, crusher product was returned to SAG feed. Some designs, however, now allow pebble-crusher product to be returned to the SAG screens/discharge (allowing operation of the pebble crusher in closed circuit) or even to the ball-mill circuit. There is no ''right'' answer for where the crusher product should be put of the time.
A semi-autogenous (SAG) or autogenous mills (AG) circuit commonly comprises a pebble (cone) crusher to deal with the critical size particles. The pebbles crusher is often oversized, and thus not fully utilized. The hypothesis put forward in this paper is that active control of the cone crusher''s eccentric speed and closed side setting (CSS) can increase throughput and/or energy efficiency of ...

· Pebble recycle crushing circuit performance at Telfer has historically fallen significantly short of the design product P80 of 12 mm. An investigation was undertaken to evaluate the current pebble crusher circuit performance, quantify the optimum performance achievable with the existing circuit and examine the impact of pebble crusher performance on the overall grinding circuit throughput.
The scope of this thesis is to examine the dynamic relations between the SAG mill and the pebble crusher in a closed circuit and thus to optimize the circuit efficiency by controlling the pebble crusher operational settings. In this thesis, two modeling techniques are proposed for simulating the dynamics in the grinding process.
Diverting of the uncrushed pebbles to the SAG mill results in the overshoots of the SAG load target, constraining the SAG mill operation resulting in decreased grinding efficiency and throughput. By the time the controllers adjust for the upset, the high-level condition in the pebble crusher feed bin would clear, and the SAG mill would unload.
· Below all the simulation results are from SAG mill 1. The first graph shows that the throughput of the SAG mills is affected by the pebble crusher settings. A cone crusher with settings like CSS = 28 [mm] and speed = 280 [rpm] gives coarser product than a cone crusher with smaller CSS and higher eccentric speed.
acoustic device (SAG analyser). The mill is equipped with 70mm pebble ports and discharges onto a 30mm trommel screen. The +30mm trommel oversize is delivered onto a conveyor supplying pebbles to the secondary mill pebble feed bin. When this bin is full, the pebbles will be routed to the pebble crushers via an overflow chute on the pebble bin.
· • SAG mill has a pebble crusher (closed with a screen on SAG Discharge). • SAG Discharge screen U/S feeds a cyclone cluster. • Cyclone underflow feeds a ball mill in closed circuit. • There are water additions to the SAG feed, Cyclone Feed, and Ball Mill Feed. Experiment with adding Info Blocks to your flowsheet 17.
· When operating a grinding circuit (at Granny Smith) under a wide range of conditions: campaigning very competent underground ore followed by soft oxide, primary versus secondary crushed feed and finally single-stage SAG and conventional SAG, ball mill and pebble crusher (SABC) configurations. Economics changed and a review of the circuit performance including modelling and …
• The grinding circuit is a SABC type, which consists of an open circuit SAG mill, pebble crusher for SAG mill discharge oversize and a closed circuit ball mill to produce a P80 grind size of 75 µm. • Quicklime from a silo is added onto the SAG mill feed conveyor along with the crushed pebbles.
SAG 2 0 0 6 Secondary Cyclones Primary Cyclones AG mill Pebble ... the pebble crusher) and surveys conducted in 2004 are presented in Figure 6. It can be observed that there is a significant drop in breakage rates in the fine, -5mm range and a significant increase in the +20mm
In Figure 7.35 shows the SAG mill closed with a crusher (recycle or pebble crusher). In SAG mill operation, the grinding rate passes through a minimum at a "critical size" ( Chapter 5 ), which represents material too large to be broken by the steel grinding media, but has a low self-breakage rate.
The SAG mill feed conveyor transfers ore (along with pebble crusher discharge) to the SAG mill feed chute where it is combined with mill feed dilution water. The SAG mill operates in closed circuit with a double deck screen and a pebble crusher. The double deck screen is fitted with spray water to wash slurry from coarse pebbles.
The hypothesis put forward in this paper is that active control of the cone crusher''s eccentric speed and closed side setting (CSS) can increase throughput and/or energy efficiency of the SAG circuit. To verify this hypothesis, a dynamic model of a SAG mill-pebble crusher circuit was implemented.
