The HPGR is by far the more-established technology compared to OK™ Mill, but the latter accepts a larger feed size which reduces demands on the upstream crushing circuit. Also, the wear components on the OK™ Mill are easier to access making it a safer machine to maintain with less disassembly required and lower masses to deal with.
A typical HPGR circuit flowsheet consists of one or more secondary crushers, high pressure grinding rolls, ball mills and ancillary equipment like vibrating screens, dust collection and conveyors.
The HPGR and air classification circuit used 20 – 30 % less energy than the HGPR, screen, ball mill circuit. While VRM was estimated to use 10 – 30 % less energy (depending on the type of VRM) than a ball mill circuit for a similar degree of comminution. Key words: comminution; HPGR; VRM; energy efficiency; air classification; ball mill. 1.

Secondary crushing in combination with tertiary HPGR application, both in closed circuit configuration, potentially allows to substitute AG or SAG grinding when just considering particle size, i.e. getting a primary crushed ore down to a suitable size for ball mill grinding. For the selection other factors need to be considered, such as ore ...
In HPGR-ball mill circuit, when the compression of the grinding efficiency of HPGR and ball mill circuits separately, it can be seen that HPGR circuit is very efficient. Although VRM is also very effective grinding equipment, it consumes too more energy to transport the material from grinding table to dynamic separator by air inside the mill.
It is commonly referred to as a SABC circuit, for Semi-Autogenous Ball mill Crusher (SABC). This circuit shows a semi-autogenous grinding (SAG)/ball mill circuit where both grinding mills are in closed circuit, with the SAG mill closed with a crusher to control the amount of 'critical size' material in the circuit.
The HPGR-ball mill circuit was estimated to require 75% of the energy of a standard Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill circuit. Even with an anticipated greater capital cost, the HPGR-ball mill circuit was found to give significantly better financial returns in all cases investigated in the feasibility study.
HPGR and ball mill circuit. This is a highly experimental model. Use at your own risk! The high pressure grinding roll (HPGR) and ball mill circuit can be thought of as a variation on the classical single stage ball mill (SSBM) circuit with the final stage of …

Cadia in New South Wales has followed the pre-crushing circuit with a large HPGR to further reduce the SAG mill feed size as part of the Cadia East …
The comminution process based on HPGR generates a higher fines proportion compared with the ball mill circuit by breaking down the minerals due to the pressure applied over the particles and to a greater extent owing to friction and shear forces acting among the particles in the particle bed [1, 11].
Using the HPGR in semi-finish grinding mode, overgrinding in the ball mill is reduced. This results in lower specific energy consumption and at the same time an increased production capacity of the grinding system. Particularly profitable is an upgrade of a …
Cerro Verde actual data shows that the HPGR circuit energy consumption was 3 kWh/t less than the SAG/Ball mill circuit that was considered in the trade off studies. The initial trade off studies were expecting to have 4.2 kWH/t of less energy consumption. (unknown) 6 years ago Like These time the favorite horse is SAG.
Comminution circuit design and simulation for the development of a novel high pressure grinding roll circuit Rosario, Persio Pellegrini Abstract The application of High Pressure Grinding Roll (HPGR) in comminution circuits is well established in …
HPGR AND BALL MILL CIRCUIT The material reclaimed from the secondary crushed ore stock pile feeds a 2.120 t silo. Two belt feeders reclaim this material to two parallel 2.0 x 1.5 m High Pressure Grinding Rolls, with 2 motors of 2,400 hp each. The product of the HPGR is designed to have a P80 of 17 mm. This material will feed a 6.120 t silo.

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.
