SAG vs. AG Mills: Understanding the Key Differences

SAG mills use a combination of steel balls and rock particles as grinding media, while AG mills use only the ore itself. Both types of mills are used for grinding ore in mineral processing operations, but SAG mills are larger in size and can grind larger quantities of ore. AG mills, on the other hand, are smaller and are typically used for ...

Understanding the Difference Between Raw Mill and Cement Mill

The primary difference between raw mill and cement mill is the raw materials that are being used. In the case of raw mill, the raw materials are milled into a fine powder and then heated in a kiln to produce clinker. In the case of cement mill, clinker is produced from the clinker nodules that are ground in the cement mill.
