Effects of ore characteristics on product shape
The use of SAG mills in the mineral industry has been received great attention due to a significant reduction in capital and operating costs and an increase in plants throughput. However, the performance of the SAG mills is greatly influenced by mill operating conditions (e.g. lifter, liner and grate) and ore characteristics.

SAG Mill Testing
The SAGDesign test was developed by the SAGDesign Consulting Group (Starkey, Hindstrom & Nadasdy, 2006) and consists of a batch grinding test conducted in a 0.488m diameter SAG mill. About 10kg of drill core is required for testing. The feed is prepared to 80% passing 19mm and ground to 80% passing 1.7mm.

Optimizing your SAG Mill | Mining Surplus
As a result, mines have shifted their emphasis in optimization from ball mills to SAG mills. The rock load in the mill essentially depends on ore characteristics and the discharge rate of broken particles through the discharge end. The discharge rate depends on how efficiently the discharge pump (grate and pulp lifters) operates.

SAG Mill Ball Sizing
With high aspect ratio SAG mills total charge to ball charge ratio should be greater than 2 (up to 2.5) for a coarse mill feed (say F80 > 110 mm). If the mill feed size is fine, say 50 mm or 30 mm, then you are looking at a total charge to ball charge ratio of about 1.5-1.6.
