Metso Minerals upgrades test center.Since 1965, Metso Minerals' Research and Test Center in Milwaukee has played a major role in the development of crushing technology. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Metso, this 30,000-square-foot indoor pilot crushing plant is the only one of its kind in the world. The test center/ laboratory/pilot crushing plant provides crushing units for customer performance testing Performance Testing covers a broad range of engineering or functional evaluations where a material, product, or system is not specified by detailed material or component specifications: Rather, emphasis is on the final measurable performance characteristics. . Tests provide data on system capacities such as product distribution, tonnage and power requirements for crushing a customer's specific rock or mineral. Multiple primary, secondary and tertiary crushers can be selected to determine the optimum arrangement and equipment settings for the given application. The 2005 upgrade was designed to increase the speed and flexibility of the test circuit and includes: * Full automation of the pilot plant * New Flat Series (FS) horizontal screen * Barmac B3000 vertical shaft impactor The test center circuit starts with material being fed directly into one of two available primary crushing units: the C80 jaw crusher or the NP 1007 horizontal shaft impactor. Material is fed to the crushing circuit via mini-front end loader or overhead crane An overhead crane is a type of crane where the hook-and-line mechanism runs along a horizontal beam that runs along two widely separated rails. Often it is in a long factory building and runs along rails along the building's two long walls. . The circuit can handle a feed size of up to 600mm and 300 tons per hour to accommodate the GP200S secondary crusher. Following primary crushing, the material is transported via belt to the screen feed bin allowing for screening of the material with the new Flat Series (FS) Horizontal Screen. This FS Screen, part of the recent upgrade, measures 6 feet by 16 feet and is able to handle higher tonnage rates than the 5 feet by 12 feet GP screen it replaced. Oversized o·ver·size n. 1. A size that is larger than usual. 2. An oversize article or object. adj. o·ver·size also o·ver·sized Larger in size than usual or necessary. material is conveyed to the crusher feed bin for secondary and tertiary crushing if required. Undersized undersized see dwarfism, runt. material is collected for additional testing or removal from the circuit. Screening can also be bypassed with the implementation of a versatile conveyor system, placing the entire stream into the crusher feed bin. At any stage of the test operation, material can be removed from the process stream and stored on site for additional testing at a later time. Secondary crushing is accomplished by either an HP100 cone crusher or GP200S gyratory gy·ra·to·ry adj. Having a circular or spiral motion. crusher. The GP200S is designed and implemented as a secondary crusher but it can also be used as a tertiary if necessary for the test work. The Barmac B3000 VSI VSI Vinyl Siding Institute VSI Voltage Source Inverter VSI Virtual Switch Interface VSI Vertical Speed Indicator VSI Voluntary Separation Incentive VSI Virtual Socket Interface VSI Vision Systems International VSI Vertical Shaft Impactor has open or dosed circuit capabilities. It affords the option of having "Rock Box" and "Rotor and Anvil anvil Iron block on which metal is placed for shaping, originally by hand with a hammer. The blacksmith's anvil is usually of wrought iron (sometimes of cast iron), with a smooth working surface of hardened steel. " configurations at the test center. In addition to the pilot crushing plant, Metso Minerals offers a range of additional laboratory crushing tests at the Milwaukee Research and Test Center. |
