DESCRIPTION

Software developed for industrial double-roll crushers. The simulator includes breakage functions with adjustable parameters to predict particle size distributions (PSDs) of the exit streams as a function of the crusher feed PSD, operating conditions and crusher design parameters.

APPLICATIONS

Design or simulation of roll crushers of different industries | Training tool | Suitable to perform sensitivity and optimization analyses

ADVANTAGES

• Easily adaptable to different aplications by fitting few parameters
• Tracks PSDs of the exit solid streams
• Can be used either isolated or integrated in a process involving other solid unit operations
• Drag-and-drop user interphase

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

Full version available. Successful validation against experimental data from a large-scale industrial double-roll crusher.
