parameter ta and crusher model energy matrices, the SMC Test ® can be used to conduct AG/SAG mill and crusher circuit simulations through the use of JKSimMet. Independent of this it can be used in power-based calculations, which in conjunction with the Bond ball work index test, enable the prediction of the specific energy of comminution circuits

Bond Work Index Tests | GSL

The Bond Low-Energy Impact test can be used to determine the Crusher Work index (CWi), also known as the Impact Work Index. ... GSL can carry out Bond Rod Mill Work Index tests to determine the energy requirements for milling ore in a rod mill. The test requires a minimum of 20kg of -12.5mm material. Closing screen sizes typically range …

A cone crusher model with a coupled energy- and

The Bond Work Indices were 12, 16 and 20 kWh/t. The corresponding min CSS's are 20, 31 and 40 mm. Note that here, it was assumed that a rock with a Work Index according to Bond of 16 kWh/t, translates to a work index about 3.5 kWh/t as defined through Equation 3.

Gyratory and Cone Crusher

A primary gyratory crusher was required to crush iron ore at the rate of 3000 t/h. The largest size of the run-of-mine ore was 1000 mm. The required product size was less than 162 mm. Manufacturer's data indicated that the nearest size of gyratory crusher would be 1370 mm × 1880 mm with a cone angle of 18°.

Breakthrough in Clinker Grinding

Bond's work is notable because of its widespread adoption in the design of most modern industrial grinding circuits. Bond developed a work index function that he suggested was a measure of the crack length needed to break a specific particle size. The theory is that since the surface area function is proportional to the

How it Works: Crushers, Grinding Mills and Pulverizers

Rock crusher. Material is reduced by crushers and grinders by fracturing, which takes place when the material is put under stress by the moving parts of the crushing or grinding equipment. ... Bond's Law states that the total work input represented by a given weight of crushed product is inversely proportional to the square root of the ...

Size Reduction and Energy Requirement

The Bond work index is not solely a material constant but is influenced by the grinding conditions. For example, the finer the grind size desired, the higher is the kWh/t required to grind to that size. ... Also given are their breakage characteristics as obtained from an impact crusher. The work indexes of ores were 11.8, 13.2, 12.2 and 12.8 ...

Assessing the energy efficiency of a jaw crusher

The kinematics of the single-toggle crusher has been modelled by Oduori et al. (2015). An energy efficiency study was performed by Legendre and Zevenhoven (2014). In their study, energy was estimated with the Bond work index, and an on-line optimization algorithm was used to increase the efficiency of a laboratory crusher.

Modified Bond Ball Mill Work Index Test

The Mod Bond results must be calibrated against sufficient standard Bond ball mill work indices, typically 10% of the total. The Mod Bond test is used for large variability programs because it provides significant savings in terms of costs (less material required and testing time) and turnaround time, without jeopardising the quality of the ...
