“Following an innovative and collaborative test work campaign, a two-stage regrind circuit consisting of a Vertimill® and a HIGmillTM operating in series was selected to optimize the overall energy-efficiency and operating cost. In this solution, the robust feed particle size capability of the Vertimill® is optimally combined with the efficient fine grinding and particle conditioning of the HIGmillTM,” says Bjorn Nielsen, Vice President, Stirred Mills and HPGR at Metso.

Metso’s stirred milling technologies portfolio consists of Vertimill®, HIGmill™, and Stirred Media Detritor (SMD) mills. These mills are based on gravity-induced and fluidized technologies, allowing for an optimum equipment solution for all comminution circuits in secondary, tertiary, fine, ultrafine, regrind, and lime slaking applications. Metso has over 50 years of experience in developing, testing, and delivering stirred mill technology, including over 500 installations worldwide. All stirred mills are part of the Metso Plus offering.
