Modern SAG mills are considered to be the modern process route for bauxite processing and have minimal down time. The installation of a pulp lifter at the rear of the SAG mill are recommended for bauxite processing. This unit may consume over < 50 cm of the width of the mill yet justifies its installation as it enhances the ability of the mill
