Broyeur autogène dans lequel on a ajouté une certaine charge de corps broyants étrangers au minerai pour pallier l’insuffisance de blocs dans le tout-venant. 3, record 1, French, - broyeur%20semi%2Dautog%C3%A8ne

Les broyeurs semi-autogènes [...] sont semblables aux broyeurs à boulets avec un rapport L/D inférieur ou égal à 2. Les boulets sont remplacés par des morceaux de minerai préalablement calibrés. [...] On les utilise comme appareils de finissage, placés derrière un auto-broyeur intégral ou un broyeur à barres. La fragmentation est un peu plus fine que celle du même broyeur chargé de boulets d’acier. 4, record 1, French, - broyeur%20semi%2Dautog%C3%A8ne
