PDF Modelling SAG Milling Power and Specific Energy Consumption
inside the mill and it is composed of balls, ore and water. The ball charge is a function of the bulk fraction of the SAG mill volume (Jb) occupied by balls; the ore retained in the mill is the result of the volumetric filling which depends on the ore size distribution (specially the % +600 and the % 600 +100), on the rotational speed (N/Nc)
