A comparison of SAG mill power models
SAG Mill power draw models are used in mill design and grinding circuit modelling to predict how much power will be consumed by a particular mill geometry and operating configuration. This paper will compare SAG mill models by Morrell Loveday (using "Power Numbers" published by Barratt) and Austin against several published mill surveys.
