Calculate optimal SAG mill dimensions, power requirements, and ball charge.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill design. It allows AI agents to determine physical mill dimensions using calculate_mill_dimensions, estimate electrical motor power with calculate_power_requirements, and optimize grinding media with estimate_ball_charge. Additionally, it can evaluate the necessity of a pebble crushing circuit via evaluate_pebble_circuit based on ore hardness and feed size.

See how to talk to your AI agent using SAG Mill Sizing & Design.

What are the dimensions for a SAG mill with 500 tph throughput, BWi of 15, feed size of 150mm, and target product size of 2mm?

The required SAG mill dimensions are a diameter of 6.5 meters and a length of 8.0 meters, providing a total volume of 265.4 cubic meters.

Calculate the power requirements for a mill with 7m diameter, 9m length, 15% ball charge, and 60% ore volume.

The estimated motor power is 4250 kW with a torque of 185000 Nm.

Do I need a pebble crusher for an ore with BWi of 18, feed size of 120mm, and product size of 3mm if a crusher is available?

Yes, based on the high Bond Work Index and size reduction requirements, a pebble crushing circuit is required to maintain efficiency.

Use the `calculate_mill_dimensions` tool by providing the target throughput, Bond Work Index (BWi), feed size, and desired product size.
