What's the Difference Between SAG Mill and Ball Mill
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

The breakage rate function shape of the SAG mill is largely governed by the mill load particle size distribution and mill speed. The feed in the mill contains fractions of ore that serves as the grinding media. Larger ore fractions break the smaller particles but also breakdown themselves and exit the mill as a product.
