HPGR have been used for many years and are emerging as an energy-efficient alternative to conventional and AG/SAG comminution circuits. One of the interesting features of HPGR is its capability to produce a particle size distribution with a greater than typical amount of fines, thus reducing the power requirement for the downstream ball mill.

Abstract. The use of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) prior to ball mills has become a common practice in cement clinker grinding due to significant energy savings in comparison to ball milling alone.

The comminution efficiency of a HPGR is better than ball mills such that it consumes 30–50 % of the specific energy as compared to a ball mill. Four circuit configurations of HPGR can be used in grinding of raw …

For typical circuits that involve AG/SAG, HPGR or ball milling, the generation of -75 µm material (denoted as SSE75) is a suitable marker size with which to benchmark performance because it contains 80% of the surface area generation 1 and energy is proportional to surface area generation 2. As shown in Figure 1, whereas the Bond …

The particle size distributions of the HPGR and ball mill product. are illustrated for the Merensky and UG2 ores in Fig. 1 a and b, respectively. A similar particle size distribution was obtained for.

HPGR is a feasible size reduction technique which is widely used in improving the specific surface area of iron ore pellet feed material in combination with ball milling. In addition to its application as a single stage add-on to ball milling, a closed circuit arrangement with a partial product recycle can be applied to obtain significantly ...

The use of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) prior to ball mills has become a common practice in cement clinker grinding due to significant energy savings in comparison to ball milling alone. The energy savings has been attributed to higher energy efficiency of HPGR at low reduction ratios, smaller particle top sizes in the ball mill feed ...

According to various investigations HPGR products need less time for downstream ball mill grinding process in order to reach a desired particle size composition, comparing to conventional crushing ...

The presence of residual micro-cracks in HPGR products in an HPGR-ball mill circuit can also result in fast breakage kinetics in the milling stage [24][25] [26] [27]. It is important to highlight ...

P80 values above, the specific energy of a crushing/ball milling circuit or crushing/HPGR/ball milling circuit can be pre-dicted and compared with the specific energy for an SABC circuit. 1@ 1@, 31@

When is HPGR better than Ball Mill. HPGR is typically used in a third-stage or fourth-stage crushing application ahead of grinding. You could always try to build a circuit doing 45 µm classification, but I suspect your circulating load would be overwhelming. Most HPGR applications in hard rock mining achieve 3000 µm to 7000 µm product

The Bond test can overestimate the reduction in ball milling energy requirements for HPGR products, not due to a change in the breakage characteristics of the particles, but because the Bond test feed for a sample crushed in a HPGR has a greater fines content than a conventionally-crushed sample. This paper rigorously assesses the …

The application of a simplified approach to modelling tumbling mills, stirred media mills and HPGR's

The comminution process based on HPGR generates a higher fines proportion compared with the ball mill circuit by breaking down the minerals due to the pressure applied over the particles and to a ...

This was one of the pioneering applications of the HPGR in an integrated circuit with ball milling in the pellet feed preparation stage, with HPGRs operating either in pre-grinding or regrinding ...

Concentrates with different morphologies were prepared using high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and ball mill (BM) grinding techniques. Then pelletizing and induration process is done in the temperature range of 800 to 1300 °C. With similar specific surface area for both BM and HPGR concentrates, the morphology of HPGR concentrate had a …

A series of comminution tests was carried out to evaluate three multi-pass HPGR circuits and a jaw crusher-ball mill circuit. Combinations of HPGR units (1.0 m and 0.25 m diameter), jaw crushers and Bond ball mills were used to grind a 32 mm top size porphyry copper feed (BBWI = 12.1) to a product P80 size of about 150 µm.
