A data set of mill operating data is collected from published information and compared to predictions made by two published mill power draw models for SAG mills (Austin's SAG model and Morrell's C-model). A third model (Hogg and Fuerstenau) is fit to each survey and the principal fitting parameter is tabulated. Power measurement.

For instance a mill of 300tph with a 300% recirculating load would have 1200 tph going through effectively, but if we reduce the recirculating load to 200% at 900 tph it will not change the power calculation. However if we increase the fresh feed by 100 TPH the power calculation goes up as does the size of mill required.

Semi-autogenous grinding mills (SAG mills) are tumbling mills that most commonly have a shell diameter-to-length ratio of around two. With this high aspect ratio, SAG mills generate both thrown and cascading ball-milling actions with shell linings shaped to lift and to throw alloy steel grinding balls of up to 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter.

SAG mills mimic the same shortcoming. It follows that in order to obtain the specifi c energy (SE) to achieve a certain transfer size, based on the 80 per cent passing value, an ineffi ciency factor must be applied to the SE of single stage ball mills, rod mills or AG/SAG mills when calculating power according to the Bond Third Theory method.
