Prediction of Collision Energy in the VSI Crusher

• VSI crushers are established comminution machines often used for size reduction and to improve the sphericity of rock particles. Data collection and experimental observation inside VSI crushers remains difficult, leading to lack of understanding of the full extent of the particle dynamics inside a VSI crusher. The aim of this paper is to attempt to characterize the probability of collision of particles in relation to their distance from the rotor. By comparing the number of collisions at a given location with the overall amount of collisions, the probability of a collision event related to the distance a particle has travelled from the rotor can be estimated. The result is an increased understanding of VSI crushers and the particle collision behaviour inside of a VSI crushing chamber.
