Crushing systems operating regime controlling methods and devices

Abstract

Monitoring equipment for monitoring the performance of systems for crushing solid materials are disclosed. The working condition of an elastic liner material is diagnosed and load parameters are analyzed. Integrated into the liner material is a measuring means in the form of a monitoring sensor which works by measuring the axisymmetric bending of the elastic liner material in response to a known force. The data recorded is then sent to an information system for analytical processing. This includes detecting wear and monitoring whether a critical thickness of the liner material has been reached. A housing element (3), a movable sensing element (4) structurally adapted to be continuously thrust in the direction of the wearing surface of the liner material by a resilient pressuring means (5), and a transmitting element (6) are disclosed. The movable sensing element (4) records the magnitude of axisymmetric bending of the liner material and transmits this data to the transmitting element (6), thus providing for a resource-efficient operating regime that makes it possible to use the wearing liner material until critical wear indices are reached.
