INTRODUTION
This experiment has many names such as (Crushing) or (Grinding), it used for reduce the size
of solid materials. The operations of reduce the size of liquid materials called (Automize
and the device that reduced diameter of liquid farinas called (Automizer). Raw mate

size - reduction operation can be divided into two major categories depending on whether the
material is a solid ora liquid, All depend on the reaction to shearing forces.

grinded to fine size. The equipments usually used
for size reduction are,
‘Cuiting machines like knife cutters, slitters, dicers
2. Crushers like jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, etc. Crushers are used for coarse and fine
size reduction.
3. Grinders like hammer mills, rolling-compression mills, tumbling mills, ete. Grinders are
used for intermediate and fine size reduction.
4. Ultrafine grinders like hammer mills, agitated mills, fluid-energy mills, etc
The basic motive behind performing the size-reduction is to make to large to be used solid
materials usable. It leads to an increase in surface area per unit volume which enhances the rate
of the reaction by allowing more sites for the reaction to take place. Moreover handling of
smaller size particles is much easier as compared to that of bigger particles.
After the crushing process comes the screen analysis, in this process there is a set of sen
placed ona device in which the vibri
n and retuation processes are performed and the screen
with a |
ge hole is at the top then the sereens are arranged acconding to their diameter from
largest to smallest
APPARATUS
= Jaw crusher: It contain two jaws, one of them is constant, and another is moveable. It used to
crushing coarse particles,
+ Hammer mill: It isa tweak contain hammers, when the tweak round, the hammers were
working. It used to crushing intermediate particles
* Ball mill: It contain a balls, the volume of balls depended on feed, if the feed was small
