Jaw Crusher Based on Discrete Element Method

Abstract:

In order to analyze the force condition and crushing power of crusher teeth plate, the discrete element method models of jaw crusher and double-cavity jaw crusher are set up respectively using EDEM, a kind of software for discrete element analysis. Meanwhile, the working process, the loading force on the teeth plate and crushing power are simulated. The results show that: the rationality of the DEM simulation is declared, and the crushing process of the particles is also shown intuitively. The loading force condition and the crushing power of the moving jaw teeth plate serve as basis for its abrasion and energy consumption respectively.
