Abstract

This study aims to contribute to the estimation of power consumption in a disintegration process in disc crushers (fixed and mobile). The study covers the dynamic analysis of forces acting on the particles and the mobile disc. A detailed analysis of the resultant force on the particles was performed. Finally, the consumed power is calculated with the forces acting on the mobile disc. The calculated power is a key aspect in the design of disc crusher machines.
