roduct Overview:
The HTHM-60G Hardgrove Grindability Index Tester is specifically designed to determine the grindability of bituminous coal and anthracite, expressed as the Hardgrove Grindability Index (HGI). A higher HGI value indicates easier grindability. This instrument provides accurate data to reflect coal’s grinding difficulty, offering essential references for coal mill design and operation. Compact and user-friendly, it is widely used in coal, power, metallurgy, and chemical industries.
Working Principle & Structural Features:
The tester operates based on the grinding law (energy consumed in grinding coal is proportional to the new surface area generated). Prepared coal samples (specific particle size) are ground in the Hardgrove device, followed by sieving, weighing, and referencing calibration charts to determine the HGI.
