SAG Gear Box
Bibiani (Asante gold mine) Refurbishment Update, February 14, 2022
The work that you see being performed can only be conducted in a few, well-equipped shops around the world!
This film clip presents the SAG Gear Box being reassembled following its overhaul at the HIT Shop facility in Takoradi, Ghana.
A SAG Mill is a semi-autogenous mill, used to crush rocks from 6” to less than 1 ½”. At Bibiani, the SAG Mill is powered by a 3.8 MW motor. The SAG Gear Box transmits the motor power to the drive pinion that interacts with the ring gear, to turn the Mill at 7 – 12 RPM. -
