I provide consulting services in mechanical engineering. I have experience from all aspects of cone crusher design, manufacture, and use. Quality control, quality specification. engineering analysis including FEA, fatigue analysis, straing gague evaluation, material selection, CAD-modelling and more. |
CRUSHING PLANT FLOWSHEET SIMULATION / OPTIMIZATION I
do full flowsheet simulation for crushing plants containing crushers,
screens and conveyor belts, in open or closed circuit. The crusher model is developed by myself and based on my own research, see under research publications. These
simulations are steady state. I have a long experience from cone crusher liner design, and liner optimzation. MOTOR
SIZING & CONFIGURATION:
Are you using a
suitable motor for your application? Do you need a bigger or smaller
motor, with the appropriate duty rating? DOL-start, soft start or
VFD?

FEA, fatigue evaluation, fatigue damage analysis, out-of-balance forces, strain gauge evaluation. shrink fit joints, oil lubricated journal bearings, roller bearings, bolt and screw joints and more.
BELT DRIVE SIZING AND CONFIGURATION
Most crushers are powered via belt drives, with or without tensioner arrangement. Belt vendor’s recommendations can result in an oversized transmission, with higher than necessary belt pull forces, losses & no. of belts.

The ancient romans used a particular cone mill to grind grain and that had similarities to modern cone crushers. In a modern cone crusher, the machine part holding the outer, fixed mantle is called “bowl”. The geometry of the bowl liner is critical for the perofrmacne of the cone crusher. Incidentally, the corresponding component in the ancient roman cone mill is called “catillus” which is the direct translation into latin of the word “bowl”. Inventor, or engineer translates into latin as “machinator”. Being a cone crusher liner engineer I can thus call myself
