Introduction
Stage-crushing superseded by AG/SAG technology some
decades ago
Stage-crushing plant design expertise/experience lost
Blasting
Relative Costs
1. SAG milling
2. Blasting
3. Crushing
Hence:
High-intensity blast for
SAG-based circuits
(mine to mill)
Low-intensity blast for
stage-crushing circuits
Equipment Selection for HPGR-Based Comminution Circuits Part 1 | 16 October 2013 | 4
Primary Crushing
Rationale
Capacity = (ROM PSD)
ROM PSD = (RQD, blast)
Secondary Crushing
Circuit Design
Closed circuit essential for
HPGR feed top size control
Reverse closed circuit (RCC)
for fines-rich primary crusher

Crusher Selection
RCC use brochures for capacity and product sizing at
selected CSS
Coarse Screening
Banana screens for high unit capacity, low footprint
- Single deck for FCC
- Double deck for RCC
HPGR
Testwork
Population still low on hard
rock, so benchmarking
difficult
Ore- and duty-specific
testwork required:
Flowsheet options:
- Open or closed circuit
- RCC or FCC
- Fixed or variable speed
rolls
- specific capacity
- specific energy
- product sizing
HPGR
Model Selection
Roll speed rules
- Specific capacity
.
( m or m-dot)
- Roll diameter
20-22 nominal
- Roll width
23 max
- Roll speed
Capacity scale-up
- m-dot originally linear
- now up to ~1.2 depending
on relative machine sizes
For smaller-scale
applications
- Match number and size to
duty
- Turn-down requirements
- Spare units?
Fine Screening
Banana screens for high
unit capacity, low footprint
- Mode
Dry
Wet
- Decks
To provide sufficient
area for reduction in cut
size for HPGR-mill load
balancing
