Blake Jaw Crusher: Hardened Steel

The document describes an experiment to determine the Bond's law and Rittinger's law constants for a Blake jaw crusher. Key steps included: (1) measuring feed material size and crushing it for 3 kg, (2) measuring energy consumption during crushing and a blank run, (3) sieving the product to determine size distributions, (4) calculating the constants using formulas. The Bond's law constant C was found to be 0.026 kWh mm1/2 and the Rittinger's law constant kR was determined to be 13.78 kWh mm3/kg.

Blake Jaw
Crusher
Introduction:
The main frame is often made from cast iron or steel, connected with tie-bolts. It is
commonly made in sections so that it can be transported underground for installation. The
faces of the plates are made of hardened steel. Both plates could be flat or the fixed plate
flat and the moving plate convex.
It works on the principle of mainly on Compressive force. Powered by a diesel or gas
motor. The materials are pushed inside the chamber from the top opening and when
crushed they are released through the bottom opening. The crushing power of the jaw
crushers depends on the size of the chamber.
Jaw Crushers are mostly used as the first stage of material reduction in systems that
may use several crushers to complete the circuit. One jaw is fixed and other is moving to
and fro to crush the bricks.

Experiment No. # 1
Objective:
Determine the Bond’s law and Rittinger’s law constants for the jaw Crusher.
Apparatus:
Blake jaw crusher set of hand shaken coarse screens, plastic bowls, stopwatch, Vernier
scale, set of Tyler standard screens along with sieve shaker, Hammer, digital balance, energy
meter etc.
Material:
Broken Bricks
Procedure:

1. Measure the width and length of the inlet of jaw crusher.


2. Took 2 bricks, strike each with hammer at the centre and collect coarse pieces and
measured the mean size of each (by taking mean of 5 to 6 prominent dimensions)
and hence determined overall representative size of feed.
3. Weighted the sized feed on balance and collected 3kg.
4. Noted down the initial reading of energy meter (Eo).
5. Switched on the crusher and stop watch and simultaneously started feeding the
material continuously.
6. Switched off the crusher and timer immediately after finishing the crusher operation.
7. Read the energy meter for loaded run E1 and hence determine the gross energy
consumed during crushing (Eg = E1-Eo).
8. Now operated the crusher without feeding for the time period taken previously for
crushing the feed and hence determine the energy required for blank run Eb ( Eb = E2-
E1) and net energy required for crushing Enet ( Enet = Eg-Eb ).
9. Measure the max width of jaw Crusher discharge and use it as max size of product.
10. Use 5 to 6 screens below max size and perform screening operation for product.
11. Calculate Bond’s law and Rittinger’s law constants by the following formula.

Crushing time = 96sec
Duration of blank run = 96sec
Initial reading of energy meter Eo =0 KWh
Reading of energy meter after loaded run= E1=0.26KWh
Reading of energy meter after blank run = E2= 0.2KWh
Gross energy consumed for crushing Eg = E1- Eo = 0.26KWh
Net energy consumed for crushing Enet = Eg- E2 =0.06KWh
Crushing strength of bricks fc= 0.35kg/cm2=0.0035kg/mm2
