NCRC, however, tidls below 25 ° once as the rolls rotate by (0 degrees. This means that the non-cylindrical rolls have a possibility of nipping the particlc 6 times during one roll rewHution.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
The laboratory scale prototype of the NCRC (Figure 3) consists of two roll units, each comprising a motor, gearbox and profiled roll. Both units are mounted on linear bearings, which effectively support any vertical componcnt of force while enabling horizontal motion. One roll unit is horizontally fixed while the other is restrained via a compression spring, which allows it to resist a varying degree of horizontal load.
The pre-load on the movable roll can be adjusted up to a maximum of 20kN. The two motors that drive the rolls are electronically synchronised through a variable speed controller, enabling the roll speed to be continuously varied up to 14 rpm (approximately 0.14 m/s surface speed). The rolls have a centre-to-centre distance at zero gap setting) of I88mm and a width of 100mm. Both drive shafts are instrumented with strain gauges to enable the roll torque to be measured. Additional sensors are provided to measure the horizontal force on the stationary roll and the gap between the rolls. Clear glass is fitted to the sides of the NCRC to facilitate viewing of the crushing zonc during operation and also allows the crushing sequence to bc recorded using a high-speed digital camera.
Tests were performed on several types of rocks including granite, diorite, mineral ore, mill scats and concrete. The granite and diorite were obtained from separate commercial quarries; the former had been pre-crushed and sized, while the latter was as-blasted rock. The first of the ore samples was SAG mill feed obtained from Normandy Mining's Golden Grove operations, while the mill scats were obtained from Aurora Gold's Mt Muro mine site in central Kalimantan. The mill scats included metal particles of up to 18ram diameter from worn and broken grinding media. The concrete consisted of cylindrical samples (25mm diameter by 25ram high) that were prepared in the laboratory in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards. Unconfined uniaxial compression tests were performed on core samples (25mm diameter by 25mm high) taken from a number of the ores. The results indicated strength ranging from 60 MPa for the prepared concrete up to 260 MPa for the Golden Grove ore samples.
All of the samples were initially passed through a 37.5mm sieve to remove any oversized particles. The undersized ore was then sampled and sieved to determine the feed size distribution. For each trial approximately 2500g of sample was crushed in the NCRC. This sample size was chosen on the basis of statistical tests, which indicated that at least 2000g of sample needed to be crushed in order to estimate the product P80 to within +0.1ram with 95% confidence. The product was collected and riffled into ten subsamples, and a standard wet/dry sieving method was then used to determine the product size distribution. For each trial, two of the sub-samples were initially sieved. Additional sub-samples were sieved if there were any significant differences in the resulting product size distributions.
A number of comminution tests were conducted using the NCRC to determine the effects of various parameters including roll gap, roll force, feed size, and the effect of single and multi-particle feed. The roll speed was set at maximum and was not varied between trials as previous experiments had concluded that there was little effect of roll speed on product size distribution. It should be noted that the roll gap settings quoted refer to the minimum roll gap. Due to the non-cylindrical shape of the rolls, the actual roll gap will vary up to 1.7 mm above the minimum setting (ie: a roll gap selling of l mm actually means 1-2.7mm roll gap).
RESULTS
Feed material
The performance of all comminution equipment is dependent on the type of material being crushed. In this respect, the NCRC is no different. Softer materials crushed in the NCRC yield a lower P80 than harder materials. Figure 4 shows the product size distribution obtained when several different materials were crushed under similar conditions in the NCRC. It is interesting to note that apart from the prepared concrete samples, the P80 values obtained from the various materials were fairly consistent. These results reflect the degree of control over product size distribution that can be obtained with the NCRC.
