FLSmidth says it has received another order for the delivery of this high pressure grinding roll (HPGR) technology, which is known to be among the most environmentally friendly comminution technologies available.

This new order in India includes the delivery of two of the world’s largest HPGRs (3 m diameter x 2 m width). The order includes installation, commissioning and start-up support and a service agreement. The equipment is expected to be installed and commissioned during 2026.

Earlier this year, FLSmidth received orders for seven HPGRs as well as a strategic cooperation agreement with the commitment for six HPGRs. With this new order in India, FLSmidth has received a total of 15 HPGR orders or commitments in 2024, it says.

Mikko Keto, CEO at FLSmidth, said: “This new order further expands our market-leading position for HPGR technologies. I am obviously very pleased about this. To us it is a clear vote of confidence from customers – both towards the value proposition of our HPGR technology as well as to FLSmidth as being a trusted partner for delivering the most efficient and environmentally friendly comminution circuits.”

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 says it is the global market leader for HPGRs by all relevant metrices, including total numbers of installations, tonnes of ore processed, technology advances and time in the market with plus-20 years of extensive operating experience in hard rock.

The OEM has further developed the grinding technology and introduced the HPGR Pro, a technology offering up to 20% more throughput capacity, up to 15% energy savings and up to 30% extended roll life.
