September 1, 2010 - ABB won an order from Newmont Mining Corporation to engineer three gearless mill drive (GMD) systems to be installed at the Yanacocha Minas Conga oxide copper gold project in Peru. Fluor Corporation in Santiago, Chile, will act as EPCM contractor for this important project; Corporation will be the mill supplier.
SAG mill drives (as GMDs) by some operators and principal motor designers/manufacturers until the reasons for known problems in design or manufacturing were better understood and resolved. Accordingly, the latest 40 ft dia. SAG mill is rated at 29 MW and 78% C.S., with a 42 ft dia. mill built but not yet operational. The more recent option
Gearless mill drive system (GMD) Go gearless to meet your business objetives by exceeding standard availability targets in your grinding operations. ABB's GMD is the most powerful mill drive system in the market to power semiautogenous (SAG), ball and autogenous (AG) mills, This 'workhorse' for grinding operations combines a robust ...
Since the early 1980s, we have been designing and manufacturing Semi Autogenous Mill (SAG Mill) and Autogenous Mill (AG Mill) under the Fuller-Traylor brand. Semi-autogenous grinding uses a minimal ball charge in the range of 6-15% while autogenous grinding uses ore only. SAG and AG Mills operate by lifting ore/grinding media and dropping it on ...
This is inclusive of all lining, lubrication, cooling, electrical and mechanical drive systems necessary for installation and commissioning. The SAG mill, from Outotec's Premier™ range (an example above), will accommodate both base production of 2.5 Mt/y and the planned expansion to 4 Mt/y in year six of the mine plan, Liontown said.
For large mills requiring variable speed, the wound rotor motor and SER drive are economical for a total rating of approximately 2MW to 16MW. Above 16MW, the gearless drive (cyclo-converter) is typically used because gearboxes and …

The power ranges from 100 kW to 24 MW. Our low-speed drives reduce wear and help cut energy costs by up to 5%. Offered up to 24 MW, the variable speed of low ...
SAG mill product feeds two parallel ball mills of 6.6 m×11.1 m (internal diameter×length), each with a 9.7 MW twin pinion drive. The ball mills are operated at a ball charge volume of 30–32% and 78.5% critical speed. The SAG mill trommel undersize is combined with the ball mills' discharge and pumped to two parallel packs (clusters) of ...
Ball mill/SAG mill drive lubrication system. Abstract: This paper describes the function and operation of lubrication systems for Ball Mill and SAG Mill Drives. Provided within this paper are hydraulic schematics, functional description and a general overview of system layout as well as some of the important features and factors relevant to ...
Mill drive gearboxes are designed to complement the girth gear to deliver cost effectiveness across the entire system. Gear cases machined from rigid housings to ensure optimum shaft alignment, reduced noise and dynamic deflections. Simple lubrication and cooling allows the system to operate at various speeds including barring, with use of ...

feed size (F80) of over 70 mm and a SAG mill throughput of 5200 t/h. The Batu Hijau SAG mill specific energy was a function of point load test and RQD. The point load test substitutes for Axb measurement in that relationship. The Batu Hijau ore is less fractured than the Constancia ore based on the average RQD data and Constancia's SAG mill ...

an output power of the inching system. Therefore an adjustment of 1% per mesh of the inching reducer drive can be added to reflect efficiency losses. P inch = P inch ·(1 + (stage · 0.01)) where stage is the number of reductions between the inching drive motor and the main drive input shaft (or mill pinion if direct driven) Round up P inch
Ball Mill Lubrication. Many mines or electric generating stations require raw minerals to be ground and pulverized for final processing. This process can be achieved through one of the different types of ball mills used – SAG Mill‚ Ball Mill‚ Rod Mill and Double Ended Ball Mill included. In these applications‚ a lubrication system ...
Mill application features. Frozen charge protection – Detects frozen charge in the mill, minimizing equipment wear and liner replacements.; Coupling supervision – Detects if a failure or slippage occurs in the couplings and stops the system in …
SAG Mill power draw models are used in mill design and grinding circuit modelling to predict ... The comparison of models requires a discussion of the measurement of power in a mill drive system as the models use slightly different bases for "where power is measured". ... The following criteria were identified for the May 2012 survey:
The question what drive system is optimal for SAG and ball mills is project specific and depends on the plant layout and the design of the grinding circuit. When drives systems are compared the main criteria are operating characteristics (fixed speed or variable speed, starting behavior, interaction with network, harmonic distortion),

40 ft (12.2 m) diameter 20 MW Cadia gearless SAG mill, was commissioned. This was a leap of over 40% above the largest operating SAG mill. A significant saving in capital cost gave the incentive necessary for a single mill line at Cadia, resulting in the selection of the 40 ft (12.2 m) diameter mill. Now, after 18 months of
