Size-Reduction Assignment BELTRAN

A pair of rolls is used to crush spheres of 38 mm diameter to 12.7 mm diameter. Given a coefficient of friction of 0.29, the diameter of the rolls is calculated to be 601.372 mm. The calculation uses trigonometry and equations relating the radius of the rolls, particle sizes, and friction angle to determine the necessary roll diameter for the given crushing specifications.

A pair of rolls is to take a feed equivalent to sphere 38 mm in diameter and crush them to sphere having
a diameter of 12.7 mm. If the coefficient of friction is 0.29, what should be the diameter of the rolls?

Given:

a = 12.7 mm

b = 38 mm

𝜇= 0.29

Required:

r=?

Solution:

𝜇 = tan 𝛼

𝛼 = tan -1 (0.29) = 16.172

a = ½ of the distance between rolls

= 12.7/ 2 = 6.35 mm

b = radius of particles

= 38 / 2 = 19 mm

[Reference: Perry’s Hand Book]


(𝑟1 + 𝑎)
cos ∝ =
(𝑟1 + 𝑟2 )

(𝑟 + 6.35)
cos(16.172) =
(𝑟 + 19)
Therefore:

r1 = 300.686 mm

diameter of rolls = 2r = 2(300.686) = 601.372 mm
