Semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) mill liner design
To increase mill throughput, oversized "pebbles" may be crushed before return. Napier-Munn et al. (1996) and Wills and Napier-Munn (2006) describe the design and operation of SAG mills. SAG mills are currently the technology of choice in hard rock milling operations for reducing primary-crushed ore to ball mill feed.

Autogenous and Semi-Autogenous Mills
— Design of AG/SAG Mills. Since the breakage of ore in AG/SAG mills is mostly due to impact on particles and media from a height, these mills generally have a large diameter-to-length (D/L) ratio. However, this ratio varies and mills with large length-to-diameter ratio are also in use, e.g., in South Africa.
