Abstract
A control method of a crusher for elements to be recycled or disposed of, which includes a crushing assembly, to which the elements to be recycled or disposed of are provided, and pushers acting toward the crushing assembly to push the elements to be recycled or disposed of, includes a measuring step of the current absorbed by the crusher, a comparing step of the current value measured against a first predetermined value, and a reducing step of the push intensity of one or more of the pushers toward the crushing assembly in case the measured current exceeds the first predetermined value, the pushers being controlled separately from each other in order to partialize the push force and the push areas.
Claims3
A control method of a crusher for elements to be recycled or disposed of, comprising:
- a step of providing a crushing assembly having,
- a plurality of milling cutters, to which the elements to be recycled or disposed of are provided, and
- two or more pushers acting towards said crushing assembly to push the elements to be recycled or disposed of against said crushing assembly, each of the two or more pushers being rotatably coupled to an edge of the crushing assembly;
- a measuring step of current consumed by said crusher;
- a comparing step of a value of said measured current against a first predetermined value;
- a reducing step of push intensity of said two or more pushers towards said crushing assembly from an original level if said value of said measured current exceeds said first predetermined value, said two or more pushers being controlled separately from each other in order to partialize a push force and push areas;
- a step of repeating the measuring step of the current consumed by said crusher and the comparing step of the value of said measured current against said first predetermined value;
- if the consumed current falls below said first predetermined value, a step of resetting said push intensity to said original level;
- if the value of the measured current is higher than a second predetermined value, greater than the first predetermined value, a stopping step of the crusher;
- a step of inverting operation of the crusher after the stopping step;
- the said crushing assembly comprises an adjustment mechanism adapted to adjust a size of the elements to be recycled or disposed of exiting the crusher;
- a modifying step of a calibration of the adjustment mechanism to increase the size of the elements to be recycled or disposed of exiting the crushing assembly if the value of the measured current is higher than the second predetermined value;
- and
- one or more further steps of the inverting operation of the crusher after the modifying step of the calibration of the adjustment mechanism.
