Simulation — the modern cost-effective way to solve crusher circuit processing problems
In jaw crushers, the crushing force is generated by the movement of the movable jaw plate towards the fixed jaw plate. This force is a result of the mechanical pressure created by the eccentric shaft and transmitted through the toggle plate. The interesting thing is how these forces are applied to the material.

Plant dynamics is a complex phenomenon where correlation and casualization can be vague. To simulate plant dynamics mathematical models for every production unit, e.g. crushers, screens, conveyors, silos, etc., has to be created. The models describe the changes in flow and particle size of the material traveling through the plant.

The Discrete element method (DEM) is an invaluable tool for studying comminution as it provides detailed information that can help with process analysis as well as trying out new equipment designs before the equipment is physically built. The DEM was used to analyse previous experimental work to gain some insight into the comminution …
Particles in the vertical shaft impact crusher absorb and dissipate collision energy in the impact breakage. The distribution of the collision energy determines the breakage rate of materials and breakage energy consumption of the entire system.

Jaw crushers are often used for primary crushing of hard or abrasive run of mine ore at the start of a crushing circuit in order to provide size reduction sufficient for further crushing stages. The crusher consists of two sets of jaws, one jaw being fixed and the other moving back and forth in an eccentric cyclic motion.
Compressive crushing has been proven to be one of the most energy efficient principles for breaking rock particles (Schönert, 1979).
