The processes
Typically, there are three different setups in
a grinding installation involving an HRP

Pre-grinding Semi-finish grinding

The FLSmidth HRP grinds the fresh feed and a certain amount
of recirculated pressed flakes. This material mix then undergoes
finish grinding in a conventional ball mill circuit. This configuration
provides an increase in production of approximately 25 percent and
a reduction in specific power consumption of approximately
10 percent, compared to a conventional ball mill system.
Upgrading a ball mill system with an HRP in a semi-finish mode
is a simple solution and with an easy installation. A compact,
energy-efficient semi-finish grinding installation can be achieved
by combining the FLSmidth HRP with the ROKSH/RAR-M Dynamic
Separator and the CRPGS Static Separator with a conventional ball
mill system.

The two-stage separator system helps achieve high efficiency of
the HRP system. The static separator ensures disagglomeration and
coarse separation, and it also helps the material to be dried. The
dynamic separator separates and maintains the final product of the
desired quality.
Finish grinding
If the FLSmidth HRP is used for finish grinding in a closed circuit with
the two-stage separator system, there is no need to include other
grinding machines. The HRP delivers higher efficiencies in finish
grinding than ball mills and vertical mills.
