During that time, a total of 46,100,000 tons have been crushed by the HRC™3000 and the HPGR circuit has processed over 30,600,000 tons of ore. The operational benefits of the flanged roll design, first tested on the pilot plant, were shown to exceed predictions on the ...
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
A short-head cone crusher has a short crushing chamber and it is designed for the production of finer output sizes, generally between 6 mm and 25 mm. A fine cone crusher, also known as a tertiary cone crusher, is used for the production of They are manufactured to produce very fine output sizes, mostly below 6 mm.
Few heap-leaching plants today are operating with HPGRs; however, one successful installation located in Mexico has seen significant improvements in gold recovery since the addition of an HPGR to its stage crushing/leaching circuit. The typical application of HPGR in heap leaching will be replacing the conventional tertiary crusher.
