Unlike rod or ball mills, high pressure grinding rolls reduce particles by compressing and crushing the feed between two counter rotating, parallel rollers with a small gap between them. This forces the rocks against each other. There are no rods or balls that need replacing and it reduces energy consumption by about 40 percent for certain ore ...
Disadvantages are rather low energy efficiency, high internal mass flow (for fine grinding) and reduced plant capacity. • Upgrade (in the case of an existing ball mill circuit) to combi-grinding with high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR). In this case, the HPGR will be installed before the ball mill and replace the first ball mill chamber ...
