drives quickly and to minimize downtime. As the SAG mill's operation depends greatly on the variable speed drive, Agnico-Eagle requires around the clock access to drives specialists and spare parts. ABB, the largest drives supplier worldwide, has a global support network, providing assistance and spare parts 24 hours/day, 365 days/year ...
The GMD is a drive system without any gear where the transmission of the torque between the motor and the mill is done through the magnetic field in the air gap between the motor stator and the motor rotor. The concept to drive the mill this way is relatively simple using the mill body as motor rotor and mounting the poles there.
SAG Mill Components. Once the basic operating conditions have been defined for the mill designer then, and only then, can he begin taking into account shell and head stresses and trunnion bearing sizes required to carry the load and to give the required openings for feeding and discharging the mills. Mill heads are key structural components …
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 improving the reliability of this very critical part of the …
Traditionally, the number of shell lifters used in a SAG mill is equal to twice the number of the feet in the mill shell diameter (e.g., a 34-ft-diameter mill shell would have 68 shell lifters). This is also called a 2-D shell lining. Eliminating some shell lifters increases the volume of charge between the lifters
1. SAG mill is the primary tool for grinding. SAG mill is used before the other mills. Ball mill is a secondary, and it is used after the SAG mill. 2. SAG mill breaks the raw material into pieces for the further grinding. Ball mill is used to grind the pieces of raw material into. powder-like structures. 3.
Outotec has recently been awarded a contract to deliver one of the largest grinding mills in the world. The contract includes the design and manufacture of a Ø 40' x 29' SAG mill. The mill will be driven by a Gearless Motor Drive (GMD) which at 28.0 MW is equal to the largest grinding mill power ever used in the mining industry.
Advantages of SER drives for SAG mills. Friday, December 19, 2014. 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 pinion gears reach their present limit …
