Mechanical characteristics of roll crushing of ore materials based on discrete element method.

The application of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) for ore crushing is considered to be one of the effective ways to save energy and reduce emissions in the ore processing industry. The crushing effect is directly determined by the forces of ore material during roll crushing. However, the mechanical state of ore material in roll crushing and the effect of roll structure, process parameters, feed particle size, on the force during the crushing of ore material needs to be expanded.
