How to Calculate and Solve for Crusher Reduction Ratio | Mineral Processing
Last Updated on October 5, 2021
The image above represents crusher reduction ratio.
To compute for crusher reduction ratio, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Gape Size (G) and Set Size (S).
The formula for calculating crusher reduction ratio:
Rr = G / S
Where:
Rr = Crusher Reduction Ratio
G = Gape Size
S = Set Size
Let’s solve an example;
Find the crusher reduction ratio when the gape size is 20 and the set size is 10.
This implies that;
G = Gape Size = 20
S = Set Size = 10
Rr = G / S
Rr = 20 / 10
Rr = 2
Therefore, the crusher reduction ratio is 2.
Calculating the Gape Size when the Crusher Reduction Ratio and the Set Size is Given.
G = Rr x S
Where:
G = Gape Size
Rr = Crusher Reduction Ratio
S = Set Size
Let’s solve an example;
Find the gape size when the crusher reduction ratio is 8 and the set size is 4.
This implies that;
Rr = Crusher Reduction Ratio = 8
S = Set Size = 4
G = Rr x S
G = 8 x 4
G = 32
Therefore, the gape size is 32.
Calculating the Set Size when the Crusher Reduction Ratio and the Gape Size is Given.
S = G / Rr
Where:
S = Set Size
Rr = Crusher Reduction Ratio
G = Gape Size
Let’s solve an example;
Find the set size when the crusher reduction ratio is 10 and the gape size is 30.
This implies that;
Rr = Crusher Reduction Ratio = 10
G = Gape Size = 30
S = G / Rr
S = 30 / 10
S = 3
Therefore, the set size is 3.
