SAG Mill Process Control
The purpose of a grinding mill is to convert electrical energy into rock breakage. The best use of that asset is to try to maximize the power draw. Try to hold the mill speed high and vary the feed rate to hold the weight (or bearing pressure), but watch out for "cycling" or "surging" that indicates instability in the charge.
