HPGR technology as an alternative to crushers and mills HPGR technology is a qualified alternative for large-scale comminution circuits and is becoming increasingly popular. The technology's working principle is that two counter-rotating grinding rolls expose a column of material to high pressure, which is distributed across the gap between the rolls.
DetailsIf HPGRs are operated correctly, ball mills can be downsized and use smaller grinding media, which substantially reduces steel ball consumption, increases the grinding efficiency and lowers operating costs of the milling substantially. The use of HPGR technology also promotes micro fracturing, which can expose minerals encased or locked within a particular ore.
DetailsResults from this research showed that operating the first-stage HPGR in open circuit and the second stage in closed circuit with a 710µm screen, resulted in a circuit energy requirement of 14.85kWh/t, a reduction of 9.2 and 16.7% over the HPGR / ball mill and cone crusher / ball mill circuits, respectively.
DetailsJan 15, The HPGR-ball mill circuit was estimated to require 75% of the energy of a standard Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill circuit Even with an anticipated greater capital cost, the HPGR-ball mill circuit was found to give significantly better financial returns in all cases investigated in the feasibility study (Ballantyne et al, ).
DetailsFor decades, polycom®high-pressure grinding rolls have been used successfully in the grinding of raw materials and binding agents. polycom®HPGR grinding is based on the principle of supplying the material to be ground to two counter-rotating rolls via a feed system.
Detailso HPGR was expected to consume less energy per tonne of ball mill feed compared with conventional solutions o It was also expected that ball mill specific energy consumption would be lower (compared with conventional solutions), this resulting from incipient cracks present in BM feed particles • High mechanical and process availability
DetailsEspecially downstream processing stages, such as ball milling, are more energy-efficient using HPGRs as a result of the finer product size distribution coming out of the HPGR and the additional effect of micro-cracks in the product particles. In essence, the main motivation to use HPGRs is to save energy and production costs," states TAKRAF.
DetailsDenmark (trade named Cemax Mill). Horomill is suitable for grinding raw meal, cement and minerals, whereas Cemax Mill is mainly for cement grinding. The mill can be used for pre-grinding and finish grinding. This mill-system claims to have advantages of ball mill, roller mill and roller press in terms of reliability and energy savings.
DetailsIn the SAG-based grinding circuit, the ball mill grinding energy consumption is comparable to the grinding energy used in mills following the HPGR. However, the overall energy reduction in a HPGR-mill configuration can be greater than 30%. The benefits of HPGR in mineral beneficiation are visible at the level of useful mineral liberation.
DetailsWhilst the test results for the HPGR and VRM are not directly comparable (due to different degree of size reduction), both demonstrated the potential for considerable energy savings compared to conventional ball milling. The HPGR and air classification circuit used 20 – 30 % less energy than the HGPR, screen, ball mill circuit.
DetailsThe use of HPGR as a replacement of, or addition to, SAG/ball mills saves space and simplifies the grinding circuit. Robust construction and low capital expenditure. The compact design of Polycom units allows installation into existing mill facilities. Fifty to seventy times less wear. The operating availability is well over 90%.

DetailsHigh pressure grinding rolls (roller presses) are used in both cement raw materials (limestone, clay, shale etc.) and cement grinding stages. The energy consumption is 2.5–3.5 kW h/t and about 10 kW h/t when recycling of the material is used.A HPGR consumes 30–50% less specific energy as compared to a ball mill which indicates higher comminution efficiency for a …
DetailsFigure 4 – Example of a ball mill grinding plant with a HGG. External drying is required for an HPGR, due to a limited amount of moisture permissible in the feed for size reduction. Vertical Roller Mills. In a vertical Roller Mill (VRM), interparticle comminution takes place in the filled gap between the grinding table and the rollers. 3
DetailsGenerally speaking HPGR is a more efficient comminution method than SAG milling particularly if you factor in rising power costs in light of world governments looking to introduce carbon trading schemes as a method of raising taxes. As mentioned, the cost depends on the circuit design.

DetailsBall Mill. This is a grinder that contains many steel balls in a cylindrical drum and grinds the raw material in the drum to several tens of μm or several μm or less by rotating the drum. ・Large amounts of raw material can be ground with a strong force using steel balls. ・Suitable for fine grinding and ultra fine grinding.
