RESEARCH ON THE FUNCTIONAL SCHEME OF ENERGY CON-SUMPTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF A CONE CRUSHER IN THE MIN-ING INDUSTRY

Abstract

In industry and construction, ore crushing is one of the most important and costly processes in mineral processing. The quality of its control determines the level of energy consumption not only of mineral processing, but also of subsequent stages, especially in crushing processes, which are the most energy-intensive in the entire production. The size of the crushed ore significantly affects the power consumption of the crushing mills in the subsequent stage. Since the primary crush-ing of the ore is carried out using cone crushers, and its energy consumption process is characterized by a large number of parameters. The cone crusher is a multi-input multi-output system, and since the relationship between the physical and chemical properties of the ore and the crushers is very complex, it is very important to have a description of the multi-factor functional scheme of the steady state of the cone crusher for its quality control.
