A K hpgr factor of 0.96 was applied to account for weakening of ball mill feed by the HPGR. This was based on the relationship in Fig. 13 and the typical Tropicana HPGR operating specific grinding force of 2.7 N/mm 2 that was reported by Kock et al. (2015). On average the predictions were 0.2% higher than the measured values.

energy and steel media costs are making High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) increasingly attractive for applicable "hard rock" ore applications relative to SAG-Ball milling. In addition, HPGR offers significant metallurgical benefits, which is the topic addressed in this paper. As early as 1988 it was

Grinding Rolls (HPGR) is now being pursued.' ... HPGR typically also reduces the amount of steel lost through wear of mill liners and media. Marsden (2008) showed that when the energy that would have been consumed to produce the steel that is saved by applying HPGR is factored in, then the overall energy savings of HPGR is considerably ...

A holistic approach to help with your mining challenges. Maximizing the recovery of valuable minerals at a saleable concentrate grade, at the lowest cost and with the lowest environmental impact requires optimizing all processes and sub-processes linked to the flow sheet. Our concept of optimization considers the entire value chain: Process ...

The HPGR micro cracks are believed to be responsible for particle weakening and the resultant reduced milling energy requirements of ball mill processes that follow with the total circuit energy requirements significantly reduced. Greater eco-efficiency can also be realised by reducing the consumption of mill liners and grinding media.

Watch this time-lapse video to see how this ø2.4m Enduron ® HPGR has been built in our dedicated, state-of-the-art HPGR assembly centre in the Netherlands. Weighing 529 tonnes, the Minerals team built this impressive machine in only 7 weeks. When installed, this HPGR will be processing 10 1.000 tonnes of gold ore per day. It will reduce energy …

Processing includes primary and secondary crushing followed by HPGR grinding and ball milling, magnetic …

The estimate considered the entire circuit operating costs from primary crushing to final grind (rougher flotation feed). The estimate utilized C$0.15 per kWh for energy cost, C$1050 per tonne for the cost of steel media, a wear rate of 6000 h for HPGR roll tires, 72 g/kWh for SAG mill media and 52 g/kWh for Ball mill media.
