Wear Parts

HIGmill Grinding Rotors, Stator Rings and Shell Liners

Identify wear parts by grinding stage and installation position. Match candidate materials and processes to abrasion, media wear and slurry corrosion, confirming the material, design and drawing for the installation.

01

GrindForce Grinding Rotors

GrindForce Grinding Rotor

Mounted along the main shaft, grinding rotors face continuous abrasion and shear from ceramic media and slurry. Lower stages can experience greater pressure and wear. Published projects include steel and rubber-covered castellated rotors. Select materials for particle size, media density, speed and drawing requirements.

Shell-mounted Stator Rings

Shell-mounted Stator Ring

Stator rings attach inside the mill body and work with rotating rotors to form successive grinding stages and control media movement. Check stage position, internal and external diameters, thickness, segmentation, fixings and rotor clearance. Published projects include rubber-covered stationary elements.

Shell Lining Systems

Mill Shell Liner Components

Shell liners protect the body against media and slurry wear. Conditions vary with height; check remaining thickness, segmentation, curvature and fixings in lower feed and high-pressure zones. Published cases include fully vulcanized rubber-covered stationary elements and shell linings.

Spare Parts

Main Shafts, Drive and Structural Spares

Identify drive and structural spares separately. For gearboxes, main shafts, bearings, seals and split mill bodies, confirm interfaces, tolerances, materials, heat treatment and installation drawing before manufacture.

Main Shaft and Rotor Support Assembly

Main Shaft and Rotor Support Assembly

The main shaft transmits top-drive torque and supports the grinding rotors. Check overall length, shaft diameters, rotor interfaces, keys or connections, runout, heat treatment and dynamic balance. Specify the shaft alone or the complete assembly separately.

Gearbox and Drive Components

Gearbox and Drive Components

The top drive powers the vertical main shaft. Identify gears, pinion shafts, couplings, bushes and connectors from installation drawings, checking tooth profile, module, accuracy class, material, heat treatment and fits.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What information is needed to quote parts for Metso HIGmill?

Provide the complete model, serial number, drawing revision, installation position, photographs of the current part, material and operating conditions.

Can equipment and part photographs be used directly for manufacturing?

No. Photographs help identify equipment and part types. Manufacturing requires confirmed drawings, dimensions, interfaces, materials, heat treatment and acceptance criteria.

Can a part be assessed without an drawing?

Start with the nameplate, general arrangement drawing, installation position, photographs of the existing part and critical dimensions. These support assessment of measurement, material selection and drawing-based manufacturing requirements.
