• Transfer size (T80) is the term used to describe the SAG mill product that is sent to the ball mill. For peak performance and balancing the power available in the SAG mill and ball mill, the transfer size must be measured and controlled. • The transfer size will be 500 microns using a 12mm opening trommel. This can be true under special

crushed ore is fed into a SAG/Ball mill circuit with a median size of approximately 12,000 microns. Most SAG Mills are operated in closed circuit with a screen. The screen fi lters undersized ore, normally minus ½ inch, to a ball mill discharge sump. The combined mill discharg-es are pumped to undergo classifi cation, normally via hydrocyclones.
The circuit consists of a single-stage, low aspect ratio (diameter:length = 0.5) mill, typical of the majority of SAG mills in the South African gold mining industry.
