 AUTOGENOUS “ROCK ON ROCK” CRUSHING TECHNIQUE
The crusher operates by accelerating the material to be crushed via a high energy (patented) rotor, into a crushing
chamber lined with the same material. This gives the rock on rock (autogenous) crushing action.

Where a product size is required below that of the feed size, it is usual to operate the crusher in closed circuit, with
a screen of appropriate size and adequate capacity. However, the crusher can be operated in open circuit. In both
cases a screen is required for final sizing. Product gradation is further controlled by the rotational speed of the
rotor and /or the quantity (percentage) of Bi-Flow® used.

The material going through the Bi-Flow gates falls into the crushing chamber through channels and is then hit
from opposite direction by the material coming from the rotor.

INSTALLED POWER AND CRUSHER CAPACITY WITH STANDARD SPEED
The crushers should not operate below the required minimum capacities for a given crusher range. Operation
below the minimum can result in:
• Reduced crushing action and hence reduced predicted production.
• Reduced rock lining within the crusher, leading to possible crushing chamber damage.
• An increase of larger gradation sized recirculating load, which can again in turn lead to crushing chamber and
rotor wear part failure.

Optimum operation of the crusher (lowest possible cost per ton), is always achieved when operating the crusher
at the relevant maximum tonnage throughput. Therefore, generally, it is advisable to select a crusher which will
operate at the given maximum tonnage throughput for a given range.
Any situation where the crusher is operated with intermittent reduced or no feed, should be avoided, as this again
reduces the efficiency of the crusher and may cause damage to the crusher as previously described.

As a general rule the following should be remembered:

• Increased tip speed gives a finer product gradation.
• Increased tip speed reduces rotor throughput.
• Increased tip speed increases the power consumption per tonne of rotor throughput.

The Sandvik VSI crushers are delivered with a fixed rotor speed depending of the crusher model. It is possible to
order different pulleys and taper locks that will change the rotor speed.

However, the fixed rotor speed is chosen with many years’ experience in mind and the benefits of changing to
other rotor speed can only be seen in few cases.

Increasing the speed of the rotor from nominal to maximum, will only increase the finer product discharge from
the crusher by about 3%. But this also increase wear parts consumption and decreases the throughput of desired
product.

To change product gradation, we recommend using the patented Bi-Flow system together with the Rotor Throttle
that controls the feed to the rotor.

Below is a comparison between nominal speed and maximum speed on a CV217.

ADVANCED ROTOR AND WEAR PARTS

The highly advanced and efficient rotor is a 3-port model that has been developed with many years of experience.

The diameter and the height of the rotor gives efficient and low power consumption crushing.

The Sandvik VSI consist of few wear parts which reduces downtime and stockholding. The rotor and wear parts
are constantly being developed at Sandvik to comply with our customers applications and needs.

There are different types of wear parts to use depending on material to be crushed. For demanding and tearing
applications we have premium wear parts that extend lifetime many times compared to standard.

Contact your local Sandvik representative for more information on which wear parts that suits your
application best.

 BI-FLOW
The Bi-Flow® system is a very versatile tool. Maximum crushing efficiency, when using Bi-Flow® in a given
crusher range, can be realized when the following parameters have been selected:
• Maximum motor size for the relevant crusher size.
• Tip speed selected at 0.9-1Kw / Tonne rotor throughput.
• Crusher operated at maximum motor amps. with rotor only feed.
• Addition of up to a further 20% extra material into Bi-Flow®, resulting in no change to the “rotor only”
product curve.

Example:
CV216 crusher fitted with a 50Hz 110Kw motor.
Tip Speed 52 M/Sec.
Rotor throughput 120 tph
Bi-Flow® material = 23 tph. i.e. Rotor throughput x 20%.
Total crusher throughput 143 tph.

Varying the ratios of rotor to Bi-Flow® feed material can be extremely beneficial when attempting to “tailor” a
product for the customer. However, this is best done on site during the commissioning stage.

PRODUCT CURVES
Size distribution of the product is affected by the following factors:
• The work index of the material (Wi).
• The speed of the rotor (Tip Speed in Metres per Second).
• The size of the feed material.
• The ratio of Bi-Flow® material to rotor throughput.

Other influencing factors to consider for general crushing duties are:

• High tip speeds generally result in higher wear rates within the rotor and crusher.
• Low tip speeds generally result in higher recirculating loads, which in turn can lead to the requirement of
increased screening area and conveyor size.

 MANUAL CRUSHER SELECTION
1. Determine the maximum feed size.
2. The minimum feed size to the crusher, must always be less than 25mm (1”), in either open or closed circuit.
3. Determine the total tonnage throughput of the crusher:
a) Open Circuit – Refer to capacity tables on previous pages, detailing maximum and minimum
recommended tonnages.
b) Closed Circuit – Determine the maximum product size required and select a suitable lab screen
aperture (cut size).
b1) Determine the Work Index (Wi) of the material to be crushed and choose the nearest applicable
product curve from the tables on previous pages.
b2) Calculate the amount of re-circulating load to the crusher, by referring to the applicable table.

Example
a) Wi=14 curve selected in above table.
b) 5 mm sand required.
c) Table A1 indicates a 30% breakage ratio at 5mm.
d) Product required at the rate of 100 TPH.
e) Total throughput of the crusher = Product TPH (100) x 100 / 30 (% breakage) = 333 MTPH.
f) Select the relevant crusher from the capacity tables =CV228.

TONNAGE THROUGHPUTS
It is vitally important that the correct size of crusher is selected for the required application. Be aware that when
operating the crusher in closed circuit, the total crusher load needs to be used in calculations (raw feed plus
return feed).

In capacity tables the minimum and maximum recommended throughputs for each crusher range with normal
peripheral speed are detailed. Other speed of rotor is available. The minimum and maximum recommended
throughput with other speed is available.

The throughput figures will vary with bulk densities of the material being crushed.

 OPTIONS
SUPPORT OPTIONS
• Access stairs and platform that enable safe and easy maintenance and access to the crusher.
• Skid Frame that makes the crusher semi-mobile.
• Long or short support legs. Short support legs are used for above skid frame. The long legs are used when
crusher is mounted on concrete.

MOIST MATERIAL OPTIONS

When the material to be feed into the crusher contains between 3 and 8% moist, the material intends to stick in
the crusher. This might cause feeding problems, but the following options will reduce the possibility for having
problem with moist material. One single option can be chosen as well as all four. It depends where in the crusher
the problem occurs.
• Bi-Flow Acceleration slides
• Base Water Spray kit
• Transmission Non-Stick liners
• Crushing chamber Water Spray Kit (not available for CV215)

DISCHARGE SHUTES
The chute ensures that material exits the base of the crusher freely without blocking. Can be fitted either left or
right handed. Not available for CV215.

DRIVE PULLEYS
A range of drive pulley that controls the rotor speed are available for the crushers. It is only required to change the
drive pulley for changing rotor speed.

DUST ENCAPSULATION
The dust emitted from the crusher during operation is minimal but if operating the crusher with low or no feed
increases the amount of dust emitted from the crusher. This Dust encapsulation keeps the dust inside the
crusher.
