SAG Mill Process Control
That does not mean that the preference is speed control over feed rate control. Each ore is different and each plant is different. As equipment designers, we have to provide each of the features that the operators could use to optimize their process. In my experience, SAG Mills are normally variable speed, and Ball Mills are normally fixed speed.
