Figure 4. Installed particle analysis system at the feed of the
Raptor 250, top feed size is up to 150 mm
The laboratory test results, as can be observed in
Figure 6, align with the trend indicated by the real-time
system in Figure 5. When measuring at 16.9 mm, both
the feed and product of the cone crusher are stable, as evi-
denced by the consistency across the three samples. This
stability is also reflected in the first highlighted area of the
upper figure. In contrast, when the cone crusher’s CSS is
set to 15 mm, the presence of a substantial amount of fine
particles in the feed leads to a more varied particle size dis-
tribution in the product. Consequently, the three samples
exhibit significant differences, which are distinctly mani-
fested in areas 2, 3, and 4 of Figure 5. Finally, for the last
three samples, the cone crusher CSS is set to 13.5 mm, cor-
responding to the last time period in Figure 6. During this
phase, the GeoScanner’s real-time system also shows some
fluctuations, which are consistent with the results obtained
from the three samples in Figure 6.
The three images below are selected from three of the
nine samplings, corresponding respectively to CSS settings
of 16.9 mm, 15 mm, and 13.5 mm. These screenshots are
taken from the GeoScanner’s real-time PSD detection sys-
tem. The triangular markers at the center of each image
represent the results obtained from laboratory particle size
analysis conducted after each sampling. It is evident that,
after three months of trial usage, the real-time system can
accurately measure the product of the cone crusher.
The PSD realtime detection system test on crushed
product sizes between 1 mm to 45 mm has provided infor-
mative results.
