Synopsis

This event delves into the optimisation of SAG mills through the analysis of operational variables using Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. The session will shed light on the significant impact of electric power consumption on operational costs in the mining industry and explore how optimisation strategies can mitigate energy consumption.

DEM simulations offer a detailed insight into particle behaviour within the mill, facilitating adjustments to enhance efficiency. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the methodology behind DEM modelling and its application in optimising ball size, liner design, mill speed and discharge component design for improved mill performance.

The session will include discussions on the outcomes of DEM simulations, showcasing how optimisation of these variables can result in tangible enhancements in energy efficiency and overall mill performance.
