Effect on the ball mill. hpgr and sag mills are used to make feed for a ball mill. the hpgr usually has a coarser transfer size than a sag, meaning it puts more load on the ball mill. the sag mill's phantom cyclone effect is usually greater than the microcracking effect in an hpgr until you get to really hard material where both of these.

Essbm calibration factor : set to the reduction in ball mill operation work index observed in the hpgr test (typically 0.05 to 0.10 for a 5 to 10 reduction). hpgr crusher model mechanical efficiency : adjust until the e crush matches the hpgr test specific energy.

W stner (1986) showed that 30 reduction was achieved after conversion of closed circuit ball mill circuits to a semifinish grinding circuit including hpgr. applications of hpgr in different circuit alternatives have resulted in 10–50 energy savings when compared with closed circuit ball milling operations (patzelt, 1992).

For gold mines using carboninleach (cil) processes for recovery, weve found the best results are achieved with a hpgr performing tertiary grinding before a ball mill further reduces the product. in this role, the hpgr significantly uplifts the capacity of the circuit and provides flexibility both in dealing with feeds that a ball mill.

Hpgr have been used for many years and are emerging as an energyefficient alternative to conventional and agsag comminution circuits. 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.

Hpgr technology as an alternative to crushers and mills hpgr technology is a qualified alternative for largescale comminution circuits and is becoming increasingly popular. the technology's working principle is that two counterrotating grinding rolls expose a column of material to high pressure, which is distributed across the gap between the.

Line no. 3 and line no. 4 before the ball mills. the hpgr units are operated in open circuits under the same condition. however, since startup time, the grinding performance of these hpgr circuits had been unsatisfactory. the design goal behind installing hpgr units was to increase throughput of ball milling operation from current 100 th to.

Nlmk began implementing hpgr technology in each of the plants four process lines in 2016. the first four grinding rolls supplemented traditional cone crushers and ball mills, and enabled the plant to boost the productivity of the sections by 12.5 and to grow iron ore concentrate output by 1.

A series of laboratory crushing tests, together with tests of grinding in a ball mill, were carried out. there were determined comminution degree values for hpgr and ball mill operation. results of investigation showed that operational pressing force may determine both effectiveness of hpgr crushing process, as well as the grinding effectiveness.

This includes the installation of the hpgr circuit, fourth ball mill, regrind circuit, vertimill, additional rougher and cleaner flotation circuits and electrical system upgrades. total life of mine expansionary capital, including the capital for the 45,000 td mill expansion planned for 2021 and the integration of new ingerbelle, is estimated.

Portion of fines in the hpgr product which could potentially impact either ball mill grind andor power consumption. the result was that the hpgr–ball milling circuit remained the preferred option for the tropicana project. the laboratory hpgr test work was completed by polysius on a pilot scale hpgr with a 500 mm diameter and 300 mm width.

Primary function was to divert tramp metal contaminated ore, could also be used to bypass the hpgr and feed very soft ore directly to ball mill circuit. this design feature would enable plant operation in the worst case scenario when oxide ore cannot be treated in the hpgr. project execution milestones: • contract date 2. nd july 2011.

The 5.5 mtpa tropicana gold project in western australia adopted a hpgr ball mill comminution circuit due to the high cost of power generation and to reduce its energy footprint in line with its environmental operating licence. in order to maximise the benefit from the hpgr, closed circuit operation with wet screening at 4 mm was selected.
