Autogenous mills, semi-autogenous mills and ball …

3 The design offers such benefits as: xElimination of castings and the structural risk associated with them. xFeed and discharge designed to process requirements rather than to restrictions imposed by trunnion bearings. xMinimised risk of feed blockage through short trunnions. xQuick accessibility to mill interior. xLighter weight and lower number of …

Analysis of the criticality of flaws found in trunnion of …

The components of the mill that rotate on bearings are the trunnions. The trunnion is a kind of cylindrical and tubular shaft with thick walls, wherein the ore passes through its inner diameter, both in the feed and in the mill discharge. Download : Download full-size image; Fig. 2. Trunnion bearing components, including bronze bushing.

Ball mill trunnion

The ball mill trunnion is the key component to support and connect the cylinder, and it is the passage of material in and out. The journal bears mainly the bending force during …

Shell vs Trunnion-Mounted Mills

The Ernest Henry SAG mill has this design and although it has suffered contamination of the bearing oil by mill slurry, it has operated continuously since 1997 without a structural failure. The sealing of this region has been improved by a number of pressure grooves and barriers being added to the joint in newer mills.

Shell vs Trunnion-Mounted Mills

The calculated overall stiffness for the shell mounted mill is 10.8 GN/m and 8.6 GN/m for the trunnion-mounted mill. Both of these stiffnesses are very large. Both are sufficient to enable proper operation of both gear and gearless drives. The stiffness argument is a distraction brought about by the competitiveness of mill vendors.

Sag Mill Maintenance

(ESSS), predicts SAG mill liner wear over time and helps engineers adjust conditions for mill operations by easily assessing change-of-process variables such as speed and fill level. The self-lubricating characteristics of the Polymer HSB arrangement eliminate the need for an emergency accumulator system connected to the mill's hydraulic circuit.

Experimental Analysis of Semi-autogenous Grinding Mill

It was found that the mill vibration and the bearing temperature increased with motors power. Also, the results revealed that the mill noise reduced with the increase in water flow rate. ... To predict the power of the SAG mill, Hoseinian et al. ... As shown in Fig. 1, the bearings of motor 1, the bearings of pinion 1 and mill trunnion were ...

An improved method for grinding mill filling

The new measurement technique is demonstrated by surveying the load of a large SAG mill following a crash stop and a subsequent grind-out. The SAG mill in this example has an internal diameter of 11.93 m; a belly length inside liners of 6.09 m; cone angles of 15 degrees and a trunnion diameter of 2.80 m.

Sag Mill Maintenance

Component wear, regardless of whether it involves bearings, lifters or other parts of the machine, is a constant concern for SAG mill operators. Industry suppliers have developed a wide variety of liner shapes, composite …

How to Increase the Reliability of a Lubrication System

In addition, a cultural change took place at the mill. Plant personnel recognized the importance of lubrication, and there was an increase in morale for the lube technicians. The reliability of the mill's lubrication system also improved from 4.58 to 55.51 percent per month, making the company's relatively small investment well worthwhile.

Sag Mill Maintenance

The effectiveness of design improvements to mill components can be reinforced by software tools that help keep a mill operating efficiently, such as FL's SAGwise system, which uses an array of sensors to listen …

An improved method for grinding mill filling

Although the time required to perform the necessary measurements inside the mill can be just 5 to 10 min per inspection, experience with surveying large SAG mills has shown that three to five hours of production delay can be expected when performing a mill crash stop inspection followed by a full grind-out and grind-out inspection.
