— A crushing plant system comprising crushers, screens, conveyors and other equipment can be difficult to operate to the highest possible efficiency, but a new computer tool has been developed to help optimize this process, as Per Svedensten, plant simulation specialist with Mining and Construction, explains In a crushing plant, the normal...

Explain how crushing works. Explain the stages involved in crushing operation (Primary, Secondary and Tertiary) Recognize different types of crushing equipment used in Mineral industry. Compare different equipment components and different methods to control the crushing process.

 — The working principle of primary crushers varies depending on the type of crusher, but generally, they work by reducing the size of the material through compression or impact. In jaw crushers, the material is fed into the crushing chamber and is crushed between a fixed jaw and a movable jaw.

Crusher automation – ensures consistent and effi cient operation. Improves productivity and product quality while reducing maintenance costs by preventing overload situations. Stationary conveyors – a complete range of belt conveyors. Wide variety of widths, lengths, accessories and options. Various models incor-

DEFINITION. The primary crusher selection is the key to the success of any mining operation that involves the reduction in size of the ore. The crushing plant can be provided with almost any type of primary rock crusher. The rock/ore determines the type of crusher. The plant capacity determines the size of the crusher.

Crushing circuits are generally optimised within the framework of either an operating and/or economic philosophy or a liberation philososphy.

Operating Principal. In a cone crusher the stones are crushed with both SPB and IPB as the material moves down through the chamber. The relative amounts of IPB and SPB depends on factors like chamber design, crusher geometry, speed, css, eccentric throw, and others.

The purpose of the research presented in this paper is to explore the process design of crushing plants in order to gain further understanding on how the crushing plant process can be made more optimised. Earlier work by the author has focused on optimisation on existing plants (Svedensten, 2007).
