An Investigation on Sand Production of Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher Using EDEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

Discrete element modeling (DEM) is the most suitable modeling technique to simulate the mass flow of particles in chamber recently, which is an important part of VSI to break rock. DEM is presented in this message to predict sand production within a US7 vertical shaft impact crusher. Sand production is one of important parameters to judge the productiveness of VSI. Despite complicated particle movements in vertical shaft impact crusher, it is a necessary work to study the sand production of VSI. Vertical shaft impact crusher is simulated under different conditions in EDEM software.In order to investigate effects of different parameters on sand production, four parameters which include rotor rotation, inputs, radius of particle and interval between the rock bed and throwing material hammer were separately set into simulation tests.
