Designing SAG Mills That Work As Intended

Learn how to design SAG and AG mill grinding circuits using only SAGDesign technology and test work.  This method is the most accurate, fastest to complete, and lowest total cost of any design method available.  This lecture will present details on the theory and application of the SAGDesign SAG test, the following Bond BM Wi test on SAG ground ore, and will include the calculation methods that allow any engineer to convert lab test work results and project design specifications, into the actual mill sizes with motors suitable to do the grinding work required.
