“We are very excited to introduce the new flanged roll with mechanical skew control HPGR retrofit kit, which allows customers to maximize the performance of their existing equipment without the capex investment of purchasing expansion machines. This is truly a value option for an extended customer reach,” Jack Meegan, product director of SVS, stirred mills and HPGR at Metso Outotec, said in a release.
Key benefits of the Metso Outotec HPGR retrofit kit include:
- Increased throughputs, increased by over 20%;
- Improved energy efficiency, as flanges ensure even breakage rates across the whole width of the roll;
- Reduced circulating loads, with less material bypassing the rolls and more ore continuing to the next stage of the process; and
- Reduced wear costs, as flanges allow harder studs for a longer tire life.
