An increase of over 10% in mill throughput was achieved by removing the ball scats from a single-stage SAG mill. These scats are nonspherical ball fragments resulting from uneven wear of balls with included porosity. 30t of scats were removed from a total charge load of 70t. Surveying and modelling the mill revealed that the breakage rates had increased …

If using 3.5-4" media - high wear on liners and a high percentage of ball scats / broken balls. Another option may to consider scrapping the tertiary, and perhaps even secondary crushers (depending on Primary crusher CSS) plus screening / scalping capacities) and using HPGR as secondary crushing / primary grinding before feeding to the Ball mill.

Grinding mills, including SAG (semi-autogenous grinding) mills and ball mills, consume approximately 60-70% of the total energy cost of the entire mining operation. The mills are installed with large motors, up to 20+MW, which impart the required energy to successfully process many tonnes per hour and grind the rock to a …

The oversize rock (SCATS) is caught by the trommel, along with the worn hardened steel balls, and this material is fed past a magnet to separate out the steel balls. The oversize rock passes through the SCATS cone crusher prior to passing once again into the SAG mill for further grinding.
