The effects of grinding mechanisms on generating pellet feed were assessed and pellets and DRIs were produced. Drop number, green and dry compression strengths of green pellets produced by HPGR samples were improved. For fired pellets, CCS was more than 2793 N/P, FeO content was lower than 1%, and porosity of HPGR samples decreased by …
Improve grinding throughput, while lowering operating costs and complexity with HPGR Pro, this latest generation high-pressure grinding roll proves that, sometimes, you can have it all. ...

High pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) are used for size reduction or rocks and ores. They compress the feed material between two rotating rollers, one of which is in a fixed position and another roller that is floating. The two rotating rollers generate such a high pressure that it grinds the feed material to the desired smaller grain size.

19th August 2019. Within comminution circuits, High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) are increasingly replacing conventional SAG, rod and ball mills for hard rock reduction – …
An iron ore concentrate sample was ground separately in a pilot-scale HPGR mill in multiple passes and a dry open-circuit ball mill to increase the specific surface area of particles.
Building upon our strong legacy as the world's foremost supplier of large diameter SAG and ball mills, we now add the ground-breaking HPGR Pro to our line-up of grinding …
HPGR technology has been identified as the most attractive grinding alternative, given the data obtained from the preliminary testwork conducted to date. The Weir Group recently won a £100 million ($128 million) order to provide process equipment to the Iron Bridge magnetite project, a joint venture between Fortescue Metals Group subsidiary ...
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., 2016).
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 …
The possibilities of HPGR in generating a fine product ahead of ball milling, from a three stage crushing system with HPGR as the third stage, puts a competitive …
Historically, HPGRs have been used mainly as tertiary crushers in mineral applications for the production of ball mill feed. In the cement industry, however, HPGR systems have been successfully applied for grinding limestone, clinker and slag to a final product fineness (p80) of between 30 and 90 µm without the need of downstream ball …
Unlike tumbling mills, which require steel balls as grinding media to act as an energy transfer medium, ... two rolls from 3.2 to 3.6 mm. Around 20 kg of sample was charged into the feeding hopper that is attached to the HPGR. The grinding operation was completed with capturing the data through data acquisition system. The data acquired on …
Key benefits. Lower operating power than SAG and ball mills. Creation of microcracks for downstream processes. Provides a more stable grinding operation for variable ores. …
If ball milling was completely replaced by HPGR, up to 50% of the energy needed for the dry grinding mill could be saved. In wet grinding, the energy savings are lower, yet still noticeable. Further to …
HPGR is the most eficient comminution product in grinding and milling. High and rising energy prices can make a real dent in your profitability. Bring down energy consumption …
[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,
ball mill grinding for this material required a Blaine value of about 1650 cm²/g to produce marketable pellets, whereas for HPGR products the Blaine value may be as low as 1400 cm²/g. This appears
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. Up to three passes of HPGR were used in each circuit, with energy measurement and size analysis at each point in the comminution process.
The possible weakening effect aiding ball mill grinding due to microcracks of HPGR path was shown via specific energy, fines generation and breakage rate measurements. To achieve a quantification about the impact of microcracks and the high rate of reduction rate of HPGR technology, first the product was reconstructed using Rosin Rammler's ...
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. This makes the use of standard ball mill analyses based on the K80 inadequate, unless appropriate corrections are made.
The HPGR-ball mill circuit when grinding to 75 um compared to 160 um used an extra 4.6 kWh/mt, but for the SABC circuit it only used an extra 1.8 kWh/mt. The reported SABC circuit power for the 160 μm grind size was based on actual site data. JKSimMet was used to fit a model to site DCS data. Thus, there was considerable scope to reduce the ...
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 change from a SAG mill to an HPGR in primary grinding results in a lower overall power consumption the comminution circuit.
An HPGR unit can well be applied as a stand-alone unit, in open circuit to replace conventional 3rd and 4th crusher stages or rod milling, or as a pre-grinding stage ahead of, for instance, ball milling (Maxton et al., 2002).
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 machines operating in the mining industry around the globe, on more than 150 sites. These energy-efficient grinding machines are mostly used for processing iron, gold, copper …
HPGR can replace the tertiary crushers or, as a pre-grinding stage, provide feeds for ball mills [[8], [9], [10]]. In an HPGR, energy consumption for a particle size reduction is based on the existing pressure between the floating roll (the moveable roll) and the fixed roll in the frame. This pressure can be varied from 5 to 18 MPa.

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-
