The study looks at patterns in mining type, mill processing type, mineral type, and the differences between costs expressed in feasibility studies vs. operating mines.
HPGR vs. SAG Advantages • Significant energy cost savings • Reduced grinding media consumption • Reduced overall operating costs • Reduced footprint • Higher …
So far we have clarified that HPGR doesn't replace s SAG mill and hence these two machines can't be compared. We need to compare the HPGR …
HPGR comminution is substantially different from impact, attrition and abrasion comminution as it occurs in crushers, SAG and ball mills. The HPGR comminution occurs in a bed of particles between two counter-rotating rolls where only a limited amount of the ore is in contact with the rolls. The particles are breaking each other in a restricted ...
SAG mill circuits are directly coupled to ball mill circuits, so changing ore properties (feed size, hardness, etc.) lead to changing process bottlenecks (SAG-limited vs. ball mill-limited) For any given unit operation, an upstream or downstream bottleneck creates …

7. Product P80 of any intermediate HPGR circuit ahead of the tumbling mill stage(s) (µm) 8. Product P80 of the tumbling mill stage(s) (µm) •If there are multiple stages of grinding (e.g., SAG milling followed by ball milling), only the P80 of the product of the final milling stage is required. In addition to the above data, a ...
HPGR or SAG? Choosing an appropriate grinding configuration is important for conceptual design. Here are some things to consider when making the choice between an HPGR …
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-
In HPGR vs. SAG comparison studies, the HPGR option is typically predicted to require less total circuit specific energy. While other methods may be applied to the conventional SAG circuit
How HPGRs compare to conventional milling. Whether you're designing a brand-new mill circuit or optimising an existing site for long-term efficiency, High Pressure Grinding Rolls offer a range of advantages over …
INTRODUCTION. As the SMC Test produces the JK parameter values A and b as well as estimates the JK parameter ta and crusher model energy matrices, the SMC Test can be used to conduct AG/SAG mill and crusher circuit simulations through the use of JKSimMet. Independent of this it can be used in power-based calculations, which in conjunction with ...
High Pressure Grinding Rolls. Used in mining applications for the last 30 years, HPGR technology has streamlined the transition between mineral grinding and crushing by …
However, the design project includes a trade-off study between SABC and Crushing/HPGR/ball mill circuits. Hence in this particular example, as Bond crushing and ball mill work index tests cannot be used to size SAG mill and HPGR circuits the project cannot be carried out and the ore charcaterisation programme has to be re-done with …
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 were required to facilitate the HPGR circuit. The …

Instead of conventional AG/SAG and ball mills, processes only with high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) and vertical mills (Fig. 5) or other combinations of mill types are employed in practice. Besides a pure grinding feed, a crucial aspect is the optimum energy utilization in beneficiation for the respective types of ore and applications.
Where HPGR technology has replaced traditional methods of crushing and grinding (e.g. SAG or ball mills), it has: Provided excellent throughput capacity and energy efficiency. Decreased energy consumption by up to 40%. Substantially reduced water consumption. Reduced recirculation and wear within crushing and grinding circuits.
In fact, in four of the surveys, the SAG mill was found to be more efficient at producing circuit product than the ball mill. Similar results have been seen consistently across all the surveys where this approach has been used, including circuits with AG mills, pebble mills, HPGR, stirred mills and ball mills with fine screens. Figure 2 ...
AG/SAG mill and HPGR circuit performance. 2 TEST DESCRIPTION The test (referred to as the SMC Test) was developed to make use of relatively small samples, both in terms of quantity and particle size and to be versatile so as to make as much use as possible of whatever sample(s) is/are available for testing. As a result it is able to
Crushers, grinding mills and pulverizers are types of grinding equipment used to transform or reduce a coarse material such as stone, coal, or slag into a smaller, finer material. Grinding equipment can be classified into to two basic types, crushers and grinders. Industrial crushers are the first level of size reducer; further granularization ...
HPGR test results published by Grier (1992) on gold ores from the Mt.
