These energy-efficient grinding machines are mostly used for processing iron, gold, copper …

Minerals processing is changing. With diminishing ore grades and rising energy costs, ensuring that a plant has the lowest total cost of ownership is vital. Comminution of ore is one of world's most energy intensive stages and accounts for up to 40 percent of the total energy used in mineral processing operations. More sustainable

An effect of a grinding method, that is ball mill and high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), on the particle size, specific surface area and particle shape of an iron ore concentrate was studied. The particle size distribution was meticulously examined by sieve, laser and image analyses. To measure the specific surface area of particles, Brunauer …

Enduron® high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) can handle a wide variety of ores and particle sizes from fine pellet feed all the way up to coarse grinding of 75mm magnetite iron ore.. When it comes to feed material characteristics, the specific ore type is not detected by an Enduron® HPGR, however ore hardness, size and bed compressibility are important …

It is important to mention that iron ore fines, specifically the pellet feed (D 80 < 106 mm [20]), are the raw material for the production of iron ore pellets ("green balls"), whose particle ...

Abstract. Iron ore pellet feed pressing has been one of the first and most successful applications of High-Pressure Grinding Rolls (HPGR) in the minerals industry. Vale S.A. has been one of the ...

For developing a robust CL, the monitored data for an industrial HPGR from the Fakoor Sanat iron ore processing plant (Kerman, Iran) was used as a case study (Fig. 1). The plant is processing the low-grade iron ores from dry-stacked tailings. The mean particle size of the HPGR feed is around 20 mm (with 235 t/h nominal capacity).

There is significant case study published regarding energy savings and cost efficiencies of the comminution process due to HPGR. Energy savings ranging from 10 to 50 per cent compared to grinding ...
