Industrial crushing equipment for road construction has to process large quantities of stone while remaining reliable under demanding operating conditions. The movement of air and material through the machine can influence both its performance and the surrounding working environment.
FlowMotion analysed the relevant flow processes in the installation and examined how the geometry and operating conditions affected the behaviour of the system.
The engineering assessment focused on identifying the mechanisms responsible for undesirable flow behaviour and on determining which design changes could improve operation.
By approaching the problem from a fluid-mechanics perspective, practical modifications could be evaluated before implementation.
