FLS is the latest sponsor of Comminution '27

Although a year and a half away, Comminution '27 has got off to a flying start, with 17 sponsors already on board.

The latest sponsor, FLS, is also a sponsor of next week's Flotation '25, and one of our most regular supporters over many years.

FLS at Comminution '25

FLS has positioned itself strongly in the comminution space, especially in technologies that deliver energy savings and reduced grinding media.

We can expect to hear much about developments in high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) at the conference. HPGRs are among the most energy-efficient comminution technologies (in particular less grinding media, lower power consumption) and FLS has secured an order for two of the world’s largest HPGRs (3.0 m diameter × 2.0 m width) for a new iron-ore concentrator in India, with installation and commissioning expected in 2026. With this order FLS reports 15 HPGR orders or commitments in 2024. 

Also in 2024 FLS secured an order to deliver a dry grinding solution for an iron-ore pellet plant in Oman. This included two dry grinding mills, a wet grinding ball mill, high-efficiency air-separators, hydrocyclones and pumps, the focus being on reduced water usage in a water-stressed region. The company already have 80+ sites with over 150 dry grinding mills/air separators on various ores. 

Reduction of energy and water will feature heavily at Comminution '27, and we expect to hear more of reducing loads on comminution circuits via pre-concentration, particular as Steinert, a leading player in sensor-based sorting, is one of the 17 sponsors.
