Abstract

The objective of this research is to reduce fines inside a novel comminution machine. Fines are detrimental to the energy efficiency of the comminution process and induce additional wear. An experimental setup was developed and built, the slice rig (SR), to obtain air flow measurements and mass rates which are used to determine the energy efficiency of the fines extraction.
