Ball mills give a controlled final grind and produce flotation feed of a uniform size. Ball mills tumble iron or steel balls with the ore. The balls are initially 5-10 cm diameter but gradually wear away as grinding of the ore proceeds. The feed to ball mills (dry basis) is typically 75 vol.-% ore and 25% steel.

Generally, the discharge from AG/SAG mills consists of one or both of the following components: slurry (water and finer particles) and pebbles (20-100 mm). Single stage AG/SAG mills have to handle large amounts of slurry as they are generally in closed circuit with classifiers whose circulating loads reach as high as 400-500%.

Rod mill： The rod mill has the highest efficiency when the feed size is <30mm and the discharge size is about 3mm with uniform particle size and light overcrushing phenomenon. SAG mill: When the weight of the SAG mill is more than 75%, the output is high and the energy consumption is low with a light degree of over-crushing.

This can be 100 used to ensure that a constant feed size is presented to the mill by appropriate "blending" of different feeders. Alternatively when throughput is being limited by a non-sag mill problem a coarse feeder can be selected during this time. This will result in the formation of a stockpile that is relatively fine.

Feed Size, F80:Primary crushed ore is mandatory to feed any SAG mill. Typical feed size range is 80% passing 130 to 160 mm. Softer ores will be a little finer but the finer size is not sustainable when the ore becomes hard. Pre-crushing to finer sizes enhances throughput as does crushing of pebbles from the SAG mill (usually minus 60 mm).
