What Is the Reduction Ratio of the Crusher?

 When purchasing crushers, especially jaw crushers for coarse crushing, we often see a word: large reduction ratio. So, what is the reduction ratio of the crusher? What are the commonly used calculation methods?

What is the reduction ratio of the crusher?

    After the ore is blasted, there are mostly large stones of different sizes. They must be crushed by the crusher before they can meet the needs of the project. So do these stones need single-stage crushing or multi-stage crushing? The reduction ratio is a very important factor.

The reduction ratio refers to the ratio of the feed particle size to the product particle size in the crusher, which indicates the degree of material crushing, which directly affects the energy consumption and processing capacity of the crusher.

Commonly used calculation method of reduction ratio

    The reduction ratio has a professional calculation method, which is divided into three types according to different situations:

1. Particle size reduction ratio:the ratio of large block size before and after crushing

Calculation formula:I = larger diameter of feeding material / larger diameter of finished product

    Due to the different habits of each, the large-granularity value method is different. British and American take the sieve width at which 80% of the material can pass through the sieve hole as the large particle size diameter. China and the Soviet Union, 95% of the material can pass through the sieve hole width as the diameter of the large particle size.

Application object:This calculation method is often used in quarries because the width of the feed port of the crusher should be determined according to the large particle size of the ore in the design.

2. Surface reduction ratio:the ratio of the width of the crusher inlet to the width of the outlet

Calculation formula:I=0.85B/S (inlet width/discharge width referred to here)

0.85 is the width coefficient of the crusher to accommodate the material. The value S of the width of the discharge port: the coarse crusher is different from the medium and fine crusher, and the former takes the larger width; The latter takes the smaller width.

Application object:Because this method does not need to do screening analysis of a large number of materials, the approximate calculation can be carried out until the width of the feed port and the discharge port of the crusher, which is simple and fast, so it is widely used in production.

3. Average reduction ratio:the ratio of the average particle size of the material before and after crushing.

Calculation formula:I=average particle size of material before crushing/average particle size of material after crushing

Application object:Because the size and shape of the ores before and after crushing are different, they can only be represented by the average particle size. Therefore, the crushing ratio calculated by the average particle size can reflect the degree of crushing more truly, so it is mostly used in theoretical research.

    In actual production, the appropriate calculation method of the reduction ratio should be selected according to the specific work content of the crusher.

A Detailed Explanation of the 7 Differences Between Cone Crusher and Jaw Crusher in Fine Crushing

 In the stone crushing production line, the reasonable configuration of crushing equipment plays a crucial role in increasing production and improving the stone shape and particle size distribution. Currently, the entire crushing production line process includes three main stages: coarse crushing, medium and fine crushing, and screening. In the fine crushing stage, there are many crushers to choose from. What kind of equipment is more suitable?

The structure and principle of the fine jaw crusher are similar to those of the jaw crusher. The working mode is the flexural extrusion type. The materials are squeezed and crushed in the crushing chamber composed of a movable and fixed jaw. The cone crusher adopts laminated crushing. The mortar wall continuously moves toward the crushing wall to squeeze the materials sandwiched between the two and crush them.

The difference between the two in actual production:

1. Production characteristics

Generally speaking, fine jaw crusher and cone crusher have the following characteristics:

1) The feed particle size range of the fine jaw crusher is relatively large, and it can generally process materials below 1000mm, while the cone crusher is relatively strict, generally requiring less than 300mm (depending on the specific situation of the product);

2) In terms of processing capacity, the cone crusher far exceeds the fine jaw crusher, generally up to 1000 t/h, more than twice that of the fine jaw crusher;

3) In processing hard materials, the compressive strength of the two is the same, between 300-350Mpa.

2. Overall structure

From the overall structure, the cone crusher is 1.7-2 times heavier than the fine jaw crusher with the same feed size, and the body is generally 2-3 times higher than the fine jaw crusher, so with a relatively large construction cost of the plant.

3. Processing materials

The cone crusher is not applied for crushing wet and sticky ores, while the fine jaw crusher can process almost all kinds of materials.

4. Feeding requirements

The cone crusher can be filled with ore and directly fed without adding silo and feeders. However, the fine jaw crusher cannot be filled with ore and requires uniform ore feeding, so it is necessary to set up additional silos and feeders, which increases the investment cost of auxiliary equipment.

5. Finished product particle shape

The finished products of the cone crusher are more needle-shaped, and compared with the fine jaw crusher, the shaping effect of the cone crusher is slightly better in general.

6. Price comparison

The cone crusher price is much more expensive than that of the fine jaw crusher.

7. Use and maintenance

We know that no matter which kind of crushing equipment, it is inevitable to do regular inspections and maintenance. Despite the high initial investment cost of the cone crusher, a low failure rate in the later stage, the long replacement cycle of wearing parts, and the convenient maintenance and repair, which saves a lot of manpower and material investment.

We know that it is uncertain to choose which equipment to use for medium and fine crushing through the comparison of the above characteristics. We should consider it comprehensively when purchasing. Considering the equipment cost, when both equipment can meet the crushing needs and the required quantity is the same, we generally choose the fine jaw crusher; For large-scale factory production operations, it should apply the cone crusher; When crushing wet and sticky ores, it should apply the fine jaw crusher; When processing flake or long-strip hard ores, it should apply the cone crusher is suitable. The specific equipment selection still depends on the user's production requirements.

What to do if there is too much Stone Powder in Machine-made Sand? 6 Ways to Control Stone Powder

 Four forms of stone powder in machine-made sand:

(1) Free powder: Stone powder particles do not adhere to each other or adsorb on the surface of sand and can move freely under the action of wind and gravity.

(2) Agglomerated powder: Stone powder particles are tightly aggregated together to form larger stone powder agglomerates, and the particles adhere to each other and aggregate. This type of stone powder aggregate is difficult to remove by traditional powder classification equipment due to the large particle size and mass of the agglomerates.

(3) Adherent powder: Stone powder particles are attached to the surface of larger sand particles. When the surface of the sand particles is relatively smooth, the stone powder particles are easy to remove under mechanical force, but when the surface of the sand particles is uneven, the stone powder particles and the sand particles tightly adhere to each other, and it is difficult to separate them by general mechanical methods.

(4) Cracked powder: There are often some natural cracks on the surface of sand particles, which are tens to hundreds of microns wide or generated by mechanical crushing. These cracks are often filled with a large number of stone powder particles. This is the most compact way of stone powder adhesion.

Stone dust control technology

The 6 types of stone dust control technologies and equipment are as follows:

1. Feeding vibrating grate screen

The increased mud content in machine-made sand will increase water demand and affect the strength of concrete, thus affecting its compression capacity. Therefore, before the raw materials enter the sand making process, they need to be sifted and discarded, which can significantly reduce the moisture content of the raw materials.

According to different material conditions, select the appropriate screen bar spacing to achieve different mud removal effects; For working conditions where the mountain bark is thick, the vegetation is difficult to remove, the mountain is severely weathered, and the interlayer contains large amounts of mud, which is easy to mix with soil, increasing the spacing between screen bars can effectively reduce the mud content.

2. Aggregate chute powder removal device

A certain specification of aggregate from the screening machine enters the aggregate unloading chute after the screening. An integrally detachable diffusion air distribution chamber is arranged in a suitable place, and the blower is connected to it. In this way, the free dust on the aggregate surface is blown up by the blower when passing through the chute and is collected in the dust collector under the suction effect of the dust collector.

In addition, the suction volume of the dust collector can be controlled by adjusting the pipeline regulating valve. When the blower adopts the variable frequency form, the ratio of blowing and suction is adjusted by the variable frequency control of the blower and the adjustment of the regulating valve, to realize the continuous control of the powder content of the finished sand and gravel aggregate within a certain range.

3. High frequency vibration screening pretreatment

Basic principle: The machine-made sand is preprocessed by high-frequency vibration to disperse the powder, separate the powder, coarsely and finely classify the sand, and then remove the stone powder contained by the wind.

Specific method: After the material is crushed by the sand making machine when it enters the screening module, it can be bulked through the bulker or the spiral material lever. This has a preliminary dispersion effect on the agglomerated and adhered stone powder and improves the quality of the material. The uniformity of distribution, at this time, the stone powder can be selected through the air separation device. After primary classification, the materials enter a high-frequency vibrating screen with a vibration frequency of 60-80HZ and an amplitude of 0.15-2.4mm for screening. The vibration intensity of this equipment is 3.5-5 times that of ordinary equipment, which can generate greater mechanical force and has a good dispersion and separation effect on agglomerated stone powder and surface-adhesive stone powder. At the same time, the coarse and fine classification of machine-made sand is efficiently achieved.

Compared with ordinary vibrating screens, the powder removal efficiency of machine-made sand after being screened by high-frequency vibrating screens is significantly increased by about 40%, and the required air volume is reduced by 45%.

4. Centrifugal powder classifier

The powder classifier is used in the sand making process. Its main function is to separate excess stone powder and useful particles and recycle them separately.

Its working principle is: to mix gas and powder to form a gas-solid two-phase flow. The rotating scattering disc and high-speed airflow make the powder-containing airflow obtain centrifugal force during rotation. The centrifugal force obtained by particles of different particle sizes is different, thereby realizing the separation of coarse and fine powder particles. At the same time, the coarse and fine powder particles are recycled separately by corresponding methods. The useful particles are the finished sand, and the useless fine powder is the waste material.

From the position of the powder separator installed in the building station, it is divided into raw material powder classifier and finished material powder selection process layout. The powder classifier has strict requirements on the moisture content. When the moisture content of the feed is higher than 5%, the powder removal efficiency of the powder separator will be seriously reduced. When the moisture content of the feed is 2%, the powder separator can better exert its efficiency, and the sand formation rate is between 60%-70%.

5. V-type static classifier + dynamic high-efficiency classifier

The raw materials enter the sand making machine, and after vibration screening, the coarse powder returns to the sand making machine, and the fine powder is sent to the combined classifier of the V-type static classifier + dynamic high-efficiency powder classifier. After being homogenized by the material distributor, it enters the classification system, the coarse particles enter the finished product warehouse, and the fine particles and fine powder enter the dynamic classifier with airflow. By adjusting the speed of the dynamic powder selector, the sand and gravel classification is adjusted, and the qualified products are discharged from the coarse powder pipe into the finished product warehouse. Adjust the particle grading of the finished product, and the fine powder is collected by the cyclone dust collector with the airflow and enters the stone powder warehouse. The airflow enters the V-type air inlet through the circulating blower.

6. Air Screen

The air screen combines wind separation technology based on vibration screening to realize the three functions of particle size adjustment, grading and screening.

Its working principle: The material is evenly spread under the action of the air screen dispersion device and blown to different positions of the air selection chamber by the blower. The lighter the material (the smaller the particle size), the farther it is blown away and the longer the screening distance; The lightest stone powder will be blown to the powder outlet position, adsorbed by the dust collector-induced draft blower, and finally concentrated in the powder tank. At the same time, the particle size adjustment plate automatically adjusts the proportion of the returned material to fine-tune the fineness modulus of the finished sand, thereby ensuring the stability of the fineness modulus of the finished sand.

For the dry sand making system using an air screen, the raw materials need to control their moisture content below 1.6% (surface moisture content 0.6%), without mud, and the feed particle size is 0-25mm and the gradation is continuous. If the raw materials change, the system capacity will change accordingly. If the raw materials contain too much mud or stone powder, separation processes such as powder classifier or powder removal equipment need to be used in the front stage.

Before Starting the Jaw Crusher, it is Essential to Check These-Vanguard Machinery Tech

 Before starting the jaw crusher, the operator needs to do some inspections to ensure that all components are normal and there is no blocking material in the crushing cavity. In addition, pre-startup inspections can also help you discover faults in time, nip them in the bud, and avoid greater losses. So, what aspects need to be checked before starting the jaw crusher?

Lubrication condition

Before starting the jaw crusher, check whether the jaw crusher toggle plate is sufficiently lubricated, which is a prerequisite for ensuring the efficient operation of the crusher. The toggle plate is a component that transmits power to the movable jaw of the crusher. It plays the role of supporting the movable jaw plate in the jaw crusher and transmits the crushing force to the rear wall of the frame. If poor lubrication, it will directly affect the working efficiency of the jaw crusher.

Fasteners status

Check whether the various fasteners of the jaw crusher are loose. Once found, tighten them immediately to reduce the probability of jaw crusher shutdown accidents.

Conveyor belt condition

Check the integrity of the conveyor belt. If there is any damage, it should be replaced immediately. If there is oil pollution on the conveyor belt, wipe it clean with a rag.

Defensive equipment

Protective devices are an essential indicator to check because they are related to safety issues. Once problems are discovered, they should be solved in time to avoid accidents.

Check the crushing chamber

Check the oily ore or debris in the crushing cavity. Once ore or debris is found, the operator should clean it up and ensure that the jaw crusher cavity is activated.

After checking the above aspects, if there are no problems, you can start production. In addition, operators must pay attention to safety during production.
