AG or SAG milling frequently becomes a bottle-neck in an operation as the generation of critical size pebbles and the subsequent required re-crushing of these results in an extra burden for the (S)AG mill in the form of a recirculating load of harder and more abrasive material.
HPGRs are high capac...

ABSTRACT
Mining consumes approximately 7% of the world’s energy from which almost half goes for comminution. Since the crushers are more energy efficient than mills, it is logic to push down-sizing in crushing stage(s) as far as possible. That has been Sandvik’s strategy in supplying crushers, in...
