The static portion of the system removes coarser particles for recirculation to the HPGR, before they reach the dynamic classifier and cause of wear. The fans then blow the finer particles up into the dynamic classifier, where the final product cut is made, eliminating the need for ball or rod mills in some circuits.

The comparative performance of the HPGR-ball mill and HPGR-stirred mill comminution circuit obtained in the present work is shown in Fig. 11. It was found that the HPGR-stirred mill is more 40% energy-efficient than the HPGR-ball mill circuit. The present study proves that the stirred mill's fine grinding applications can be extended to coarse ...

How HPGR improves gold recovery. There are two main ways mines recover gold ore from the gangue, and HPGRs can assist with each process. One of them is heap leaching and for mines using this process, we've found that the most efficient setup is to have a HPGR perform tertiary grinding immediately prior to recovery, completely avoiding the use of a …

Details of the operating principle of Horomill ® as compared to HPGR and vertical roller mills are given by Cordonnier (1994) and Buzzi (1997). The energy saving of this mill is claimed to be similar to that of HPGR and 30–50% lower than a ball mill (Cordonnier, 1994). In raw material grinding up to 20% moisture content, 50% energy …

An iron ore concentrate sample was ground separately in a pilot-scale HPGR mill in multiple passes and a dry open-circuit ball mill to increase the specific surface area of particles. The effects ...

HPGR mills experience profound wear on rolls due to abrasion and indentation (Schönert, 1991, Kapur et al., 1993, Kapur et al., 1992), particularly with the comminution of hard ores such as iron, gold and diamond ores (Morley, 2006, Rosario et al., 2011, Van Der Meer, 2015).Three zones are commonly identified as particles pass …

19th August 2019. Within comminution circuits, High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) are increasingly replacing conventional SAG, rod and ball mills for hard rock reduction – …

This paper discusses the results from the pilot scale HPGR and laboratory scale ball mill test programs. The effect of circulating load and classification efficiency on the performance of ball ...

The way that the DWi is correlated to HPGR performance and how it can be used in HPGR circuit design and performance forecasting is described in this paper, using data from a wide range of ore ...

Sizing High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) requires a large quantity of material, making it not attractive and costly to be considered for new mining projects regardless of their energy consumption reduction benefits. Ongoing efforts are being made at the University of British Columbia to predict the behaviour of the HPGR using a low …

The HPGR technology offers several options to reduce the water consumption within a plant. Dry finish grinding plants In addition to eliminating water requirements for the comminution process, higher reductions in plant operating costs can be achieved in cases where the HPGRs are utilised to finish the grind in conjunction with air …

Starting in the 1980's, HPGR was first successfully implemented in the cement industry and is now used across a wide range of mining applications. Today, there are more than 200 machines operating in the mining industry around the globe, on more than 150 sites. These energy-efficient grinding machines are mostly used for processing iron, gold, copper and …

The process enables the application of energy-efficient HPGR to base and precious metal hard-ores containing clay, which are usually processed using SAG mill circuits.The work presented in this ...

In total, HPGRs represent energy savings of as much as 40% compared to conventional circuits whilst reducing downstream milling requirements. As a single HPGR unit only …

A second source of uneven feed to the HPGR can be segregation, where one side of the HPGR is mostly fed with coarser particles, while the other side receives more fines. Figure 3 shows a schematic illustration of feed segregation prior to the HPGR (Van der Meer & Maphosa, 2011). Similar to the impact of the uneven feed in the

Abstract. In a recent publication (SAG 2015), we presented a non-conventional HPGR-Ball mill circuit as a lower capital cost alternative to the "standard" HPGR circuit. The circuit was designed for the treatment of a hard ore and relatively high tonnage (50,000 t/d). That paper provided details such as flowsheets, layouts, and equipment ...
