🧪 HPGR Pressure Zone (2D): Throughput, Force & Product Size
2D cross-section of a High Pressure Grinding Roll nip zone: real throughput, specific-energy and product-size formulas driven by gap, press force, roll speed and feed size sliders, with ore particles visibly compressing as they cross the pressure zone.
This 2D companion reads the nip zone of a High Pressure Grinding Roll as a plan you can tune rather than a scene you orbit: operating gap, specific press force, roll speed and feed size drive the same throughput, specific-energy, power and product-size relations a real HPGR circuit is set up with, while a stream of ore particles visibly compresses and darkens as it crosses the pressure zone between the two counter-rotating rolls and exits as a thinner, finer "flake" below. Push the press force up and watch product size drop while power draw climbs — the same trade-off a plant metallurgist balances when tuning throughput against grind fineness.
2D HPGR nip-zone model driven by F_total = F_sp·D·L, Q = 3.6·ρ·v·L·x0·Cf, Ecs = 0.62·F_sp^0.78, P = Ecs·Q and P80 = max(xf·e^(−0.16·F_sp), 0.15·x0) — the standard throughput, specific-energy, power and product-size relations used to size a High Pressure Grinding Roll circuit.
