To examine a combined HPGR and stirred mill circuit, both machines have to be operated outside their currently accepted operating conditions. Studies have demonstrated that an HPGR-stirred mill circuit is technically feasible and showed promising benefits over the traditional stage crushers-ball mill circuit and HPGR-ball mill circuits.
PROCESSING HPGR's role in plant optimisation. Mineral processing sometimes came under a harsh spotlight in recent years due to the segment's contribution to energy consumption, with more efficient technologies such as High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) seeing increasing take-up.
In addition, Minerals Africa recently delivered an Enduron® high-pressure grinding rolls (HGPR) machine to a gold mine in West Africa, which is a first for a gold mine in the region. HPGR technology uses inter-particle grinding to reduce particle size and increase grinding efficiency by transferring pressure to particles from multiple ...
