SAG mills are characterized by their large diameter and short length as compared to ball mills. The inside of the mill is lined with lifting plates to lift the material inside the mill, where it then falls off the plates onto the rest of the ore charge.SAG mills are often used in grinding operations of modern concentrators, which can directly produce particle size of finished products or prepare feed materials for the downstream grinding sections. #sag#mill
