Calculation Backup: the formula used for Critical Speed is: N c =76.6 (D -0.5) where, Nc is the critical speed,in revolutions per minute, D is the mill effective inside diameter, in feet.
Slurry pooling and transport issues in SAG mills
Medium aspect mills are common in Australia, with aspect ratios between 1.2 and 1.5. Techniques of detecting slurry pooling are presented in Powell et al. (2001). In essence the slurry level should be just below the charge level Low aspect mills are common in South Africa and Scandinavia, The after a crash stop.

Difference Between Sag Mill vs Ball Mill
1. SAG mill is the primary tool for grinding. SAG mill is used before the other mills. Ball mill is a secondary, and it is used after the SAG mill. 2. SAG mill breaks the raw material into pieces for the further grinding. Ball mill is used to grind the pieces of raw material into. powder-like structures. 3.

SAG mill VS Ball & Rod Mill
SAG mills are used predominantly with feed material with a larger max lump sizes (from primary crushing plant typically in the max lump size range 150 mm to 300mm and a psd to follow) and the ball or rod mills are for smaller feed lump sizes. The final product size depends on the retention time and grinding capability of the type of mill.
