If a ball mill uses little or no water during grinding, it is a 'dry' mill. If a ball mill uses water during grinding, it is a 'wet' mill. A typical ball mill will have a drum length that is 1 or 1.5 times the drum diameter. Ball mills with a drum length to diameter ratio greater than 1.5 are referred to as tube mills.

ABC closed circuit, Autogenous-Ball-Mill-Crusher. Another similar technique is the ABC open circuit where the crusher product feeds the ball mill rather than the autogenous mill. Crusher product is typical feed to a ball mill using large diameter balls but not much grinding of 20-25 mm ore can be accomplished in an autogenous mill.

Understand the Difference Between Ball Mill vs SAG Mill. In conclusion, ball mills and SAG mills are both essential in the operation of any mineral processing facility. They both reduce particles in size by using different sizes of grinding media, and have differences in cost, efficiency, and use in regards to application.

(EGL) SAG mill driven by a 24,000 kW gearless drive. The SAG mill feeds two FL ball mills each 26 ft. in diameter × 40 ft. long (EGL), each driven by a 16,400 kW drive. The SAG mill is one of the largest volumetric capacity SAG mills in the world and represented the first 40 ft. SAG mill in Peru (Garcia & Villanueva, 2013 [1]).

Sag Mill is a kind of heavy duty equipment used in the ore crushing and grinding industry. Its working principle is to utilize the impact and grinding effect of a small amount of steel balls and the material itself to crush the ore Through the rotation of the cylinder, large pieces of ore are gradually broken into smaller particles in the collision …

"SAG mills are particularly high consumers of energy and, as a result, there has been a push to improve their energy efficiency." One example of this trend is the use of improved mill drive technologies, e.g., the use of gearless mill drives (for large SAG mills) or of large, geared drives with low synchronous motors
