دردشة على الإنترنت Read MoreThe charge level of a mill can be described as the volume occupied by the grinding media (including empty spaces) as a fraction of the total volume available inside the equipment. Assuming this definition other measurements may be taken considering the total charge that includes the rock charge in this case applicable to SAG and AG mills.

Since AG/SAG mill volume is roughly proportional to the mill radius cubed (at typical mill lengths) while the available cross-sectional area grow’s only as the radius squared, pulp lifters must become more efficient at transferring slurry in larger mills.
