How HPGR improves gold recovery. There are two main ways mines recover gold ore from the gangue, and HPGRs can assist with each process. One of them is heap leaching and for mines using this process, we've found that the most efficient setup is to have a HPGR perform tertiary grinding immediately prior to recovery, completely avoiding the use of a …

Improved characterisation of ball milling energy requirements for HPGR products
2.1.2 Ore Blend Grinding at HPGR and Ball Mill. The ore blend was ground in a pilot-scale HPGR (1 m diameter × 0.32 m width) at a maximum feed rate of 50 t/h. The ground product was recirculated to the HPGR feeding hopper five or seven times, wherein every recirculation steps a sample was gathered for moisture and size distribution …
[12, 13]. Unlike tumbling mills, which require steel balls as grinding media to act as an energy transfer medium, in HPGR the direct transfer of energy from the rolls to the particle bed leads to inter-particle breakage [14, 15]. The past research works by various researchers have shown that although application of HPGR is economical,
A study of pelletization of one imported chromite concentrate with coarse site, poor ballability and refractory roasting performance was conducted in small scale tests, and …

HPGR is never more than 2.5–3.5 kW·h/t even in grinding the hardest ores. Nevertheless advantages and shortcomings of HPGR should be compared with SAG mills in each individual case. Energy consumed in medium crushing, HPGR grinding and ball milling can be 40% lower as against SAG milling,
The two rotating rollers generate such a high pressure that it grinds the feed material to the desired smaller grain size. 's high pressure grinding rolls are known as HRC™. They come in many sizes depending on your application and process needs. Increased throughput. HRC™ can provide a notable increase in throughput.
This paper describes a method for assessing the downstream milling energy requirements for high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) products based on a Bond mill …
HPGR, vertical mills, but also Horomill (Cordonnier, 1994), despite their differences in terms of geometry, are all based on the same physical principle: the relatively slow compression of a granular bed. Such equipments are now operated worldwide in the mineral and cement industry (Kowatra, 2004).
Following an extensive feasibility study, a HPGR-ball milling circuit was justified based on the reduced power requirements and reduced operating expenses relative to SAG …

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
Instead of pursuing a traditional SAG mill/ball mill circuit, a crusher/HPGR/ball mill circuit was installed. Total energy for the HPGR/BM circuit is 15.9 kWh/ton in comparison with 20.1 kWh/ton for a SAG/BM circuit. This is the first large-scale HPGR system in the base-metal mining industry.
HPGR product has micro-cracked particles which weakens . the boundaries and lowers the Bond work index. This reduces . the amount of ball milling power required downstream. With a reduced load for the ball mills, you get a substantial reduction in required motor power, lowered steel ball consump-tion and increased grinding efficiency.
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. The ball mill is the most common ore grinding technology today, and probably more than 50% of the total world energy …
The comparative performance of the HPGR-ball mill and HPGR-stirred mill comminution circuit obtained in the present work is shown in Fig. 11. It was found that the HPGR-stirred mill is more 40% energy-efficient than the HPGR-ball mill circuit. The present study proves that the stirred mill's fine grinding applications can be extended to coarse ...

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.
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 …
