HPGR Operating Parameters
Wherein:
P = pressure applied, N
Q = throughput, t/h
W = roll width, m
D = roll diameter, m
E = net power consumption, kW
S = roll peripheral speed, m/s
HPGR Capacity Definitions
Continuity formula: Q = g x W x S x x 3.6
Specific Throughput (M-dot) formula: Q = SPT x D x W x S
Wherein:
Q = capacity, t/h
g = gap opening, mm
W = roll width, m
D = roll diameter, m
S = roll peripheral speed, m/s
= material density in gap, t/m3
SPT = specific throughput, or m-dot, ts/hm3
3.6 = translation factor seconds to hours
