Metso Outotec HIGmill™ is an advanced and energy-efficient fine and ultra-fine grinding solution that relies on proven technology. The mill takes advantage of gravitational forces and GrindForce™ rotor technology to produce a finer grind for mineral liberation.
High intensity grinding mill
The Metso Outotec HIGmill™ is an advanced, energy-efficient fine and ultra-fine grinding solution that utilizes proven technology. With the tall, narrow, vertical body arrangement, grinding media is evenly distributed and mineral particles remain in constant contact, significantly increasing grinding efficiency. It takes advantage of gravitational forces and GrindForce™ rotor technology to produce a finer grind for mineral liberation.

Metso Outotec HIGmill™ - advanced and energy-efficient fine and ultra-fine grinding solution
The HIGmill™ comprises a mill body, shaft with grinding rotors, shell mounted stator rings, gearbox, and drive. The grinding chamber is filled up to 70% with inert ceramic grinding media beads. Rotors stir the charge and grinding takes place between beads by attrition. The number of rotors (grinding stages) depends on the application and can be as high as 20. Feed slurry is pumped into the bottom mill. When the flow transfers upwards, it passes through all consecutive grinding stages. The final product discharges from the top of the mill into the open atmosphere.
Because of the tall and narrow vertical mill body arrangement, grinding media is evenly distributed and mineral particles remain in constant contact, significantly increasing grinding efficiency.
