High Pressure Grinding Roll (HPGR) delivers reliable and energy-efficient comminution by applying high pressure between two counter-rotating rolls. This action induces micro-cracks within the ore particles, significantly enhancing downstream processing and mineral recovery. The HPGR Standard is well-suited for hard rock applications in both greenfield and brownfield projects.
Designed with a focus on operational simplicity and durability, the HPGR Standard offers a cost-effective alternative to conventional milling, reducing dependency on grinding media and lowering overall power consumption. Its compact footprint and modular design allow easy integration into existing circuits, while the robust mechanical components ensure high availability and low maintenance requirements.
This proven technology supports flexible configurations, including both static and dynamic skewing, and is available in various sizes to match specific throughput demands.
