WhatsApp: +86 18203695377Grinding is one of the most energyconsuming processes in the mining industry. As a critical part of the comminution process, autogenous grinding (AG) or semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mills are often used for primary grinding. However, the breakage mechanism of an AG/SAG mill is inefficient in grinding particles of a certain size, typically in the range of 2555 mm,, pebbles. Therefore ...
