A schematic of the milling procedure is shown in Figure 1. It should be noted that the results (Figures 2 and 3) will reflect that the sphalerite ore was treated using combinations of cone crushing or HPGR on their own, and then followed by wet milling using stainless steel media (WM-SS) and dry. Table I.

This paper describes the commercial implementation of HPGR in tertiary crushing followed by a tower mill at a copper–lead–zinc ore dressing plant, focusing on the operational parameters and separation performance.

Key Benefits. Raise throughput while lowering energy consumption. Extend uptime with longer - lasting rolls. Advanced digital tools improve process and maintenance. No grinding media required. Enhance the sustainability of grinding operations.

2.1 Experimental Design. The experimental planning with selected key factor like operating gap (X 1), applied load (X 2) and roll speed (X 3) was designed by CCD method to obtain the optimum conditions for grinding the BHQ iron ore in HPGR.A full second-order polynomial model was obtained by regression analysis for three factors by …

High-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), a comminution device which utilizes inter-particle breakage mechanism to comminute a bed of particles compressed between …

Pilot plant test results with various ores showed that low energy consumption feature of vertical roller mills is applicable to the ore industry. Grinding test results for zinc ore showed that it is possible to decrease the total grinding energy consumption from 20.11 to 11.40 kW h/t by using vertical roller mill instead of AG/SAG-ball mill ...

The wet-ball mill product is more readily filtered without the need to grind it to the final product size. Since HPGRs can process fine ores at moistures of up to 10%, they are used to perform the final stage of grinding. ... leads to a higher recovery of the valuable constituents of the ore. Although typical HPGR product includes large amounts ...

High-pressure grinding rolls (HPGRs) have struggled for acceptance into the hard-rock mining sector. CRITICAL HPGR PARAMETERS. HPGR roll diameters typically range from 0.5 m to 2.8 m, depending on the supplies, and roll widths vary from 0.2 m to 1.8 m. The aspect ratio of the rolls also varies as a function of manufacturer.

It was not handling Primary crush size ore, but tertiary crushed ore (sub 20mm). Note, HPGR's do require extra roll handling and transport logistics due to the mass of the rolls. The rolls require a workshop with heavy lifting capacity and tools to change the worn tyre. The rolls for HPGR 24/17-8 are approx WLL 111 tonne each.

Key benefits. Lower operating power than SAG and ball mills. Creation of microcracks for downstream processes. Provides a more stable grinding operation for variable ores. …

Comparative high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and cone crusher pilot-scale tests were conducted using Upper Group 2 (UG2) platinum-bearing ore in order to determine the impact of micro-cracks in HPGR products toward energy requirements in ball mills and the degree of liberation.

2. Description of a HPGR A HPGR is principally a horizontally mounted double-roll mill, equipped with hydraulic pistons on one side, pressing against the floating roll - the other roll being fixed in the frame.

As a single HPGR unit only uses 0.8 - 2.5 kWh per tonne of material, they not only saving you money but freeing up capacity for downstream milling. Micro-cracking improves mineral liberation. The high pressure of HPGR's "bed-breakage" creates micro-cracks in the ore, promoting improved mineral recovery at coarser size fractions.

The results showed that the HPGR-ball mill circuit achieved a 21% reduction in energy consumption over the existing SAG-ball mill circuit at the same P80 grind size of 160 mircons (μm). At a grind of 80% passing 75 μm, the HPGR-stirred mill circuit showed a 34% reduction in energy compared to the base case.

Certainly, there will be some saving on power consumption when HPGR is used as against a SAG Mill. However, there are other factors that do affect the decision, as well. For example, abrasiveness of the ore. We have …
