Energy efficient fine grinding with Outotec HIGmill Technology
At the target grind size of 40µm, the required Specific Grinding Energy for flat discs is 22.7 kWh/t and for GrindForce rotors it is 16.3 kWh/t, a 28% energy saving. Recently Outotec has conducted rotor design optimisation work at the same site and achieved a further 5% decrease in energy use. Further R&D testwork was conducted to …
