On popular demand from our customers Insmart has developed a compact coal grindability index determination unit. The unit is constructed in strict accordance with IS 4433 as well as ASTM D 409 and conforms to proposed procedures for the determination of the Hardgrove Grindability Index of coal and coke. The Hardgrove Grindability Index …

Hardgrove grindability index (HGI) is an important indicator of coal grindability, and is one of the most important parameters to determine the capacity of coal pulverizer in power station. However, HGI is an empirical grindability index without linkages to any known physical parameters. To investigate the effect of energy input on …

The Hardgrove grindability was developed by R.M. Hardgrove in 1929. The ball mill grindability test, which is similar to the Bond grindability test, was first introduced by Maxson, Cadena and Bond in 1933 (Maxson et al., 1933). Later, F. Bond developed a new grindability test as the Bond grindability Index as a method in 1956 …
