Modeling and simulation of a High Pressure Roller Crusher for silicon carbide production

Abstract

This paper describes the modeling and simulation of High Pressure Roller Crusher (HPRC) for the production of silicon carbide grains. The study is to make a model for simulation of a High Pressure Roller Crusher. A High Pressure Roller Crusher (HPRC) is an important part in the production of silicon carbide, where the grains are crushed into powder form and then sieved into specified sizes based on its usage. This paper will present a model based on Johanson's theory for roller compactors, considering all the delays. The non-linearity or delays were handled using Matlab software. Conclusions are given at end of the paper.
