A SAG mill (Semi-Autogenous Grinding mill) is a critical piece of equipment used in the mining industry to grind large chunks of ore into smaller, manageable pieces for further processing. Combining the principles of crushing and grinding, SAG mills utilize both grinding media, such as steel balls, and the ore itself to achieve size reduction. Typically used as the primary grinding stage in mining operations, SAG mills are large, high-capacity machines designed to process vast quantities of ore efficiently. They are particularly prevalent in the extraction of valuable metals like gold, copper, and platinum. While they offer high throughput and versatility, they require significant power to operate and are subject to wear and tear, necessitating regular maintenance.
