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 the operating bed of the mill charge. High impacts from lifting ore and media promote impact breakage which is the primary mechanism for size reduction …

Autogenous Mill. Autogenous mill is a type of grinding equipment that crushes material by mutual impact, grinding and peeling effect among material grains. In 1880, cylindrical grinding mill was invented. In 1899, it was used at a gold mine. Since then, it was discovered that autogenous grinding of ore is possible.

Lifting of grinding media and the material; Beveled for optimal cataract effect; Fastening of shell plates; Fastening profile made for the specific purpose of aluminium or ...
The action of lifter bars is best understood by following the motion of ball charge inside the mill. There are two well-known modes in which the ball charge moves inside the mill: cascading and cataracting. The cascading motion of ball charge forms a compressive zone inside the mill where particles may break under slow compression.
These can be tailored to the specific application requirements of your mineral processing operation, with different rubber formulations and attachment system materials available. Lifter Bars. Length 200 mm to 1800 mm. Width 140 mm to …
Another purpose is an autogenous grinding mill utilizing spaced lifter bars about the periphery of the mill, the lifter bars having a replaceable wear part. Another purpose is a method of autogenous grinding in which the speed of the mill is so regulated as to obtain maximum impact of the rock.
