AG SAG Mill Grinding Circuit Automatic Control 911 Metallurgist
A generalized SAG mill power draw equation developed by Austin, is given by: where the parameters used in the model are defined as: mp= net mill power (kW) K = a constant (kW/ton ) D = mill internal diameter (m) L = mill length (m) J = fractional volume of mill filled by total charge. εB = effective porosity of the total charge.
