The Hicom 120 mill is the first model in a new and versatile range of high intensity grinding mills. Developed in Australia, the Hicom mill is a major breakthrough for the world minerals industry.

The high intensity mill for tough size reduction challenges:
Less than half the size of comparable mills, the Hicom 120 solves a wide range of grinding problems. If you are looking for equipment that is compact and versatile, Hicom 120 is the new solution.

The unique nutating motion of the grinding chamber generates centrifugal accelerations up to 50G, and power densities up to 2500 kW/m³. What can this do for you?

Capabilities
Wet or dry grinding applications

• Fine grinding or regrinding of hard and soft materials down to 10 microns or

  The unique nutating motion of the grinding chamber.

  
  below · Easily handles lumpy or sticky material, pastes and viscous slurries
• Challenging autogenous applications such as diamond liberation, in-situ backfill production, or reduction of critical size pebbles from SAG mills
• Rapid grinding rates - 50 to 100 times greater than ball mills
• Mechanical activation and powder alloying with exceptionally short residence times

The Hicom 120/30 grinding chamber

Benefits

• The Hicom 120 mill package includes a Variable Speed Drive and PLC control
• No critical speed means the mill can be fine-tuned over a range of speeds for process optimisation
• Hicom 120 offers superior space savings for plant upgrades and underground or shipboard installation where space is at a premiumLow transport and installation costs
• Easy maintenance, and long service life

At present Hicom have four models available for delivery.

1. A laboratory mill, the Hicom 60 with a 15kw drive motor.
2. A 110kw production mill, the Hicom 120 with a 30 litre grinding chamber.
3. Hicom 120 with a 60 litre grinding chamber.(110 kw)
4. A containerised mobile plant of the 110 kw with 30 or 60 litre grinding chamber.

Larger models will be introduced when market demands dictate.

With the 120 model certain hard minerals can be ground down to 8 microns with the throughput of approximately 2.5TPH. Finer grinding and higher throughputs can be achieved with different minerals.

The Hicom 120 mill has also proved to be an excellent machine for the liberation and concentration of diamonds, and in this application can achieve throughputs of 12TPH.

In addition the Hicom 120 mill has been successful when used as an attritioner in removing coatings from mineral sands to rates up to 15TPH and is excellent at grinding sticky and difficult materials such as clay balls due to it's unique high G-force action.

The Hicom patented main bearing gives the Hicom mill a unique nutating motion imparting up to 50 G-forces of acceleration to the grinding chamber contents.

Full testing facilities are available in-house which consist of wet and dry pilot plants with 20kw variable speed drives, as well as small scale laboratory batch testing models. Also, our laboratory is fully equipped with comminution testing and analytical instrumentation.

Hicom have available a mobile, fully containerised plant, which is a complete milling system. The containerised plant can be rented or leased for medium-term on-site operations or testing applications. The unit is also available for sale.

The Hicom mill is 100% Australian made and designed and was conceived by a team of experienced and dedicated design and process engineers committed to the full realisation of this unique machine's potential.

Hicom sales offices are now established in Australia and South Africa. Global sales distribution and testing laboratories are also in the process of being established.
