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 …
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. The main components of the machine are of course the rolls, the bearings, frame, pressure beams, hydrau-

Optimise your pebble crushing with HPGR. High Pressure Grinding Rolls offer an energy-efficient way to crush pebbles and alleviate bottlenecks caused by mills struggling to reduce the stubborn particles of hard ore. Whether recirculated through primary milling or separated and sent to a dedicated downstream pebble mill, pebble crushing is an ...
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 …
Some of the major findings from the study were as follows. HPGR energy consumption (kWh/t) was 38% of the ball mills. With all the different auxiliary equipment, HPGR total circuit energy usage was still less than 50% of the ball mill circuits. Fines removal from HPGR feed increased grinding efficiency in the compression zone by 25% …
The effect of circulating load and classification efficiency on the performance of ball mill circuits is compared to the effect on HPGR circuits, and the fundamentals of grinding behavior are discussed in order to explain the difference.

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
Also, reground concentrates by means of HPGR, in comparison with ball mill, caused the production of green pellets, at higher wet and dry compression strengths. As a result, it was found that preparing the pelletising feed by means of HPGR led to more positive effects on the properties of green pellets. Keywords: Ball mill, HPGR, green …
