A Complete Overview of Crushing Plant Design and Operation

Crushing plant is an important part of mining system. It is connected, the size distribution of blasted rock and crushed size of product of the primary and secondary crusher. In case of an optimal design, it helps to reduce costs of mining. Thus, the project requires a detailed knowledge of Blast hole Charges, Rock condition, and Explosive material. This gives a complete insight into the strength parameters of time delay between holes, and angular deviation.

The process of mining involves several stages and different parts of the mining machinery are used for specific purposes. Each machine plays a unique part in the overall operation of the plant. The primary and secondary crushers break large rocks into smaller pieces while the screens filters out the fine materials. It is essential to optimize each piece of equipment in the crushing plant to generate the desired production and size distribution to cater to the specific needs.

Design of a crushing plant is an important task in materials processing circuits. The primary objective of this task is to make it possible to transfer ore from the production face all along the mining process until handling facilities. The result is a flow sheet, which clearly identifies every equipment specified in the circuit. The workflow across a crushing plant is described by multiple mathematical models. These models are designed to help in analyzing the different equipment arrangements at different stages of the crushing process.

In designing a crushing plant, it is important to remember that the secondary crushers are usually used in combination with material feeding machines. They are especially important for producing large quantities of graded product. The tertiary crushing plant is a crucial part of the tertiary crushing system. The feed arrangement to this plant is such that the minus 63 mm sizes are fed into the feed hopper, which feeds the tertiary cone crusher directly. The tertiary crusher product returns back to the secondary crusher for further size reduction. In some cases, the product from the tertiary crusher is conveyed to the screen for further sizing.

The operation of a crushing plant is different based on the mode of operation and its materials handling strategy. Crusher plants have been designed to allow the quarrying of rock at the primary stage of crushing plant. Consequently, a multi-stage operation to enable the production of several products with various particle sizes is carried out. It allows better control over the product sizes and better control of the product flow.

In conclusion, the design and operation of a crushing plant is an important part of any mining system. It is necessary to ensure that the plant is designed to meet the production goals while reducing capital costs, operational costs, and maintenance costs. It is important to optimize each piece of equipment in the plant to generate the desired production and size distribution to cater to the specific needs. The operation of the crushing plant is carried out based on the mode of operation and its materials handling strategy to enable better control over the product sizes and product flow.
