Advances in high-pressure grinding roll (HGPR) technology since its first commercial application in the cement industry include new roll wear protection techniques and new confinement systems. The latter contribute to reductions in the edge effects in an attempt to reach a more homogenous product size along the rolls. Additional advances in …



A second source of uneven feed to the HPGR can be segregation, where one side of the HPGR is mostly fed with coarser particles, while the other side receives more fines. Figure 3 shows a schematic illustration of feed segregation prior to the HPGR (Van der Meer & Maphosa, 2011). Similar to the impact of the uneven feed in the













12 March 2015. It has now been several decades since the high-pressure grinding roll (HPGR) made its debut in mineral processing from its cement-based origins. With a number of hard-rock mining applications in large concentrators now several years into production, the time has come to break away from the concept of simply using HPGR in minerals ...





The largest HPGR Polycom in operation (Figure 5) using a maximum roll diameter of 2.2 meters is processing diamond-bearing rocks in Australia at a maximum feed rate of 600 to 800 mt/h with a top feed size of 150 millimeter (6″). This rock material is reduced in one pass to 57% -1 millimeter with a power i…
