Presented at the SAG Conference Vancouver, Canada September 22 – 26, 2019

Abstract

While stirred mills in regrind and fine grinding duties have become more accepted, there continue to be questions about the testwork used for scaleup and comparisons. One reliable reality check for any future application is simply comparing a design to an already operating mill in a similar duty. This paper will attempt to summarize, explain,and compare all available published full-scale results from the different stirred mills in metalliferous applications.
