COMMINUTION
out by Gebr . Pfeiffer , based on its design and engineering of diverter gates able to ‘ sort ’ and ‘ redirect ’ material at throughputs of up to 10,000 t / h . “ It may look simple on a flowsheet , but these diverter gates require thorough engineering and integration to work effectively ,” he said .
Product and process refinement over the past few years has also allowed the company to expand its focus on mining applications , as Woywadt acknowledged .
“ However , there are limitations to realising the full energy saving potential of VRMs in mining , for example , when the ore is wet ,” she said . “ We make sure at the project stage that the MVR is the right solution for the right application . We realise that VRMs are best suited to companies looking for a solution that is energy efficient , delivers high recoveries at a coarser grind and reduces plant complexity .”
FLS ’ HPGR order surge
Vertical grinding technology has also become a larger part of the FLSmidth offering since it took over thyssenkrupp ’ s Mining business in 2022 , in the process inheriting TK Mining ’ s HPGR Pro technology .
Last year alone , the company reported 15 HPGR orders or commitments , showcasing the machine ’ s popularity .
At least one of these – an order from a new greenfield concentrator in South America – is expected to see three HPGRs work in conjunction with two ball mills , lowering the overall power consumption , while providing a more stable grinding operation and eliminating the need for grinding media .
HPGRs are , FLSmidth says , among the most energy-efficient comminution technologies as they lower power consumption , while providing a

more stable grinding operation and eliminating the need for grinding media .
FLSmidth calls itself the global market leader for HPGRs by all relevant metrics , including total number of installations , tonnes of ore processed ,
