(EGL) SAG mill driven by a 24,000 kW gearless drive. The SAG mill feeds two FL ball mills each 26 ft. in diameter × 40 ft. long (EGL), each driven by a 16,400 kW drive. The SAG mill is one of the largest volumetric capacity SAG mills in the world and represented the first 40 ft. SAG mill in Peru (Garcia & Villanueva, 2013 [1]).
A guide to SAG Mill management
— A SAG (Semi-Autogenous Grinding) mill is a giant rotating cylinder filled with grinding media and the ore being reduced. As the mill rotates, the grinding media lifts and the impact crushes the feed material. SAG mill control refers to the practice of managing the mill load, which is the amount of material inside the mill at any given time.

Outotec presents the world's largest SAG mill
— Outotec has recently been awarded a contract to deliver one of the largest grinding mills in the world. The contract includes the design and manufacture of a Ø40'x29' SAG mill. The mill will be driven by a Gearless Motor Drive (GMD) which at 28.0MW is equal to the largest grinding mill power ever used in the mining industry.
Inching drives – one way to improve mill safety
— Thus, the gear reduction ratio between the inching drive motor and the mill is roughly 12,000 to 1. What this means is that the inching drive motor must turn 12,000 times to be able to turn the mill once. Consequently, if the inching drive brakes fail, then the mill's unbalanced charge can spin the inching drive motor at speeds like 28,000 RPM.

Mill drives: the desire for increased power and the
secondary mill power that permits the range of vari- ability samples to be processed according to whether a "SAG Mill limiting" condition, i.e., harder ore, or a "Ball Mill limiting" condition, i.e., softer ore exists. For example, a ratio of 1:1.5 or up to 1:2 would indicate a trend away from processing harder ore types and
