Highpressure grinding rolls (HPGRs) have struggled for acceptance into the hardrock mining sector. CRITICAL HPGR PARAMETERS. HPGR roll diameters typically range from m to m, depending on the supplies, and roll widths vary from m to m. The aspect ratio of the rolls also varies as a function of manufacturer.
For grinding to a P80 of 160 m, the HPGRball mill circuit required 21% less energy than the SABC circuit. The main savings result from the lower energy required by the HPGR as compared to the SAG mill. However, an additional secondary crusher and conveyer system
For abovementioned projects, the HPGR option indicated a gross power consumption reduction over a similar SAG mill grinding circuit. The overall operating cost savings were of the order of 15%. Indications are that the capital costs for the HPGR option was higher than the SAG mill option.
Used in mining applications for the last 30 years, high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) reduce particles by compressing and crushing the feed between two counter rotating, parallel rollers with a small gap between them. Where HPGR technology has replaced traditional methods of crushing and grinding such as SAG or ball mills, customers have
High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) In Comparison to SAG Milling Technology Presented by: Hassan Ghaffari, Raytcho Anguelov, Equipment 1 x SAG Mill MW 1 x Secondary Crusher 750 kW 1 x Pebble crusher 450 kW 1 x HPGR MW 2 x Ball Mills MW each 2 x Ball Mills
High Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) is a mature technology that is proven to reduce capital and operating costs in full scale plants when compared to other comminution technologies. Read more SGS comminution experts have developed a simple testing methodology to avoid some of the difficulties associated with using HPGR.
SAG mills grinding media includes some large and hard rocks, filled rate of 9% 20%. SAG mill grind ores through impact, attrition, abrasion forces. In practice, for a given ore and equal processing conditions, the AG milling has a finer grind than SAG mills. When the mill stops running, the high pressure oil will float the Journal, and
Pressure Grinding Rolls Versus Sag Mills. Highpressure grinding on a whole new level. Aug 31, 2016#183; FCX chose an HPGR over a SAG mill for its expansion because the technology, which crushes ore between two cylinders or rolls is about 30 to 50 per cent more efficient than SAG mills.
Apr 25, 2018#0183;#32;A few years ago, FreeportMcMoRan Inc. (FCX) chose highpressure grinding rolls (HPGR) over a semiautogenous grinding mill for the expansion of its Morenci openpit copper mine in Arizona. In February of this year, Iamgold announced it too would be using HPGRs at its new C#244;t#233; Lake project in northern Ontario. The same month, Altura Mining also revealed it would be using HPGRs for
The high unit capacity SAG mill/ball mill circuit is dominant today and has contributed toward substantial savings in capital and operating costs, which has in turn made many lowgrade, hightonnage operations such as copper and gold ores feasible. Future circuits may see increasing use of high pressure grinding rolls (Rosas et al., 2012).
Aug 25, 2014#0183;#32;So perhaps we should not evaluate SAG mills in the traditional configuration of perhaps a +/12% ball charge and a lt;20% total charge in a high aspect shell design. Yanacocha for example, has a 19% ball charge and a 21% total charge Newmont has explored every other possibility with the final result of staying with this loading as it is the only way to meet target.
The last major development has been high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), first used in 1985 in a cement plant. HPGR are used as a form of tertiary crushing, often replacing semiautogenous grinding (SAG) mills. They are much more energy efficient, produce a higher proportion of fines, and leave the coarser fragments fractured and
The high unit capacity SAG mill/ball mill circuit is dominant today and has contributed toward substantial savings in capital and operating costs, which has in turn made many lowgrade, hightonnage operations such as copper and gold ores feasible. Future circuits may see increasing use of high pressure grinding rolls (Rosas et al., 2012).
It is a combination of improved technology, reduced fine grind requirements and maintenance benefits that led to Los Andes Copper replacing the SAG and ball mill crushing circuit proposed in its Vizcachitas coppermolybdenum project preliminary economic assessment (PEA), with a threestage crushing circuit that uses high pressure grinding roll (HPGR) technology in the tertiary crushing stage
