GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE INERT MINERAL (AGGREGATE) INDUSTRY


Modern civilization is based on the use of inert minerals for concrete and asphaltic products. In truth, aggregate production is the largest single extractive industry in the United States. In excess of 2.8 billion tons of sand, gravel and crushed rock are produced annually. Because aggregates play such a vital role in the continuing growth of the nation and the world, demand for all types can be expected to increase substantially in the years ahead. There is great romance about these commonplace minerals; the earth sciences tell us a compelling story of the evolution of the earths mantle and its minerals which man has found so valuable to the civilizing processes on his planet. Since the earliest Ice Age, erosion of the continental rock by earth, wind, rain and fire have resulted in fractions being carried down the mountains by wind and water, the grains settling in an almost natural grading process. Other natural events such as floods and upheavals caused rivers and streams to change courses, burying river beds that have become high production sand and gravel operations in our time. Evaporation, condensation, precipitate and chemical actions, percolation and fusions have formed other rock materials that have become valuable aggregates in modern times. Advancements in geology and technology aid the industry in its progress to greater knowledge about these building blocks of all ages and civilizations. Locating these minerals has become much easier, tooand just in time as recently the nation has acknowledged the state of neglect of hundreds of thousands of miles of state and county roads. The massive Interstate Program has dominated the expenditure of road - building funds at the expense of these rural highways, so that today there are vast amounts of repair, reclamation and replacement of roads to be done. And, of course, locating nearby sources of roadbed materials wherever possible will affect the economy of constructionand, in some cases, even the kind of construction as well.
8

Rapid field investigations for possible sources of minerals have been made very simple and relatively inexpensive by the use of portable seismic instruments and earth resistivity meters. The latter are especially effective in locating sand, gravel and ground water by measuring the inherent electrical characteristics of each. Briefly, an alternating current is applied across electrodes implanted at known spacings in the surface soil; the potential drop of the current between the electrodes indicates whether the subsurface geology includes any high resistance areas, indicating sand, gravel or water. Another tool, the portable seismic instrument is used to measure the velocity of energy transmitted into the earth as deep as 1,000 feet. The velocity of the energy waves travel through the subsurface geologic structure indicates the density or hardness of each layer or strata. For example, the velocity of topsoil may be 3,000 feet per sec. while limestone, granite and other potentially useful inert materials may have velocities beyond 12,000 feet per sec. Thus, where the occurrence of aggregate material is not always convenient to the shortest haul routes or major population centers, locating and utilizing them have benefitted greatly by modern technology.

CLASSES OF AGGREGATES
There are two main classes of aggregates. 1. Natural aggregates in which forces of nature have produced formations of sand and gravel deposits. These may include silts, clays or other foreign materials which are difficult to reject. Further, gradations may be quite different than those required for commercial sales. To meet such requirements, it becomes necessary to process or beneficiate natural aggregate deposits. 2. Manufactured aggregates are obtained from deposits or ledges of sedimentary rock (formed by sediments) or from masses of igneous rock (formed by volcanic action or intense heat). These are blasted, ripped or excavated and then crushed and ground to specified gradations. These deposits, too, may include undesirable materials such as shales, slates or bodies of metamorphic or igneous rock. Such deleterious materials must be removed in the processing operations. 9

PROCESSING OF AGGREGATES
Much of the equipment used in the processing of raw aggregates has been adapted from other mineral processing techniques and modified to meet the specific requirements of the crushed stone, sand and gravel industry. Other types of equipment have been introduced to improve efficiency and final product. The equipment is classified in four groups. 1. Reduction equipment, jaw, cone, roll, gyratory, impact crushers and mills; these reduce materials to required sizes or fractions. 2. Sizing equipment: Vibratory and grizzly screens to separate the fractions in varying sizes (See SCREENS, page 92-97). 3. Dewatering equipment: Sand Sorters, Log Washers, Sand and Aggregate preparation and Fine and Coarse recovery machines. 4. Sorting equipment. This can include various kinds of feeder traps and conveyor arrangements to transfer, stockpile or hold processed aggregates. As to method, there are two types of operations at most sand and gravel pits and quarry operations. They include: (a) dry process; here the material is excavated by machines or blasted loose, and is hauled to a processing plant without the use of water, and (b) wet process: This may involve pumping (dredge pumps) or excavation (draglines) of the aggregate material from a pit filled with water. The material enters the processing operation with varying quantities of water. The ideal gradation is seldom, if ever met in naturally occurring sand or gravel. Yet the quality and control of these gradations is absolutely essential to the workability and durability of the end use. The aggregate has three principal functions: 1. To provide a relatively cheap filler for cementing or asphaltic materials. 2. To provide a mass of particles that will resist the action of applied loads, abrasion, percolation of moisture, and water. 3. To keep to a minimum the volume changes resulting from the setting and hardening process and from moisture changes.
10

The influence of the aggregate on the resulting product depends on the following characteristics: 1. The mineral character of the aggregate as related to strength, elasticity, and durability. 2. The surface characteristics of the particles, particularly as related to workability and bonding within a hardened mass. Aggregate with rough surfaces or angular shapes does not place or flow as easily into the forms as smooth or rounded grains. 3. The gradation of the aggregates, particularly as related to the workability, density, and economy of the mix. Of these characteristics, the first two are self-explanatory and inherent to a particular deposit. In some cases an aggregate can be upgraded to an acceptable product by removing unsound or deleterious material, using benefication processes. Gradation, however, is a characteristic which can be changed or improved with simple processes and is the usual objective of aggregate preparation plants.

EXAMPLE OF ALLOWABLE GRADATION ZONE IMPORTANCE OF GRADATION CONCRETE


To improve workability of concrete, either the amount of water or the amount of fine particles must be increased. Since the water-to-cement ratio is governed by the strength required in the final cured concrete, any increase in the amount of water would increase the amount of cement in the mix. Since cement costs are much greater than aggregate, it is evident that varying the gradation is more economical. Most of the formula used for proportioning the components of the concrete have been worked out as the results of actual experimentation. They are based, however, on two fundamentals. 1. To obtain a sound concrete, all voids must be filled either with fine aggregates or cement paste. 2. To obtain a sound concrete, the surface of each aggregate particle should be covered with cement paste. An ideal mix is a balance between saving on cement paste by using fine aggregates to fill the voids, and the added paste required to cover the surfaces of these additional aggregate particles.
12

ACTUAL GRADATION
The ideal gradation is seldom, if ever, met in naturallyoccurring sand or gravel. In practice, the quality of the gradation of the aggregate, the workability of the concrete, cement and asphalt requirements must be balanced to achieve strength and other qualities desired, at minimum total cost. Sizing of material larger than No. 8 sieve is best and most economically done by the use of mechanical screens of various types, either dry or wet. In actual practice, however, the division between coarse aggregates which require different equipment for sizing, is set at No. 4 sieve, (Fig. 3).

NOTE: Considerable variance will always be encountered when calculating the capacities of feeders. Usually, experience is the best guide to what a feeder will handle under given conditions of material, rate of travel of the feeder pans, and depth of loading. The table above is based on a depth of material equal to half the feeder width, and tons are based on material weighing 2,700 pounds per cu. yd. A feeding factor of .8 has been introduced to compensate for voids, resistance to flow, etc. This factor, too, will vary with the type of material and its condition when fed. The following formula can be used to calculate the approximate capacity in cubic yards of a feeder of given width where the feeding factor is determined to be other than .8: Cu. Yds per Hr. = 2.22 (d x w x s x f); where d = depth of load on feeder, in feet: s = rate of pan travel, in feet per minute; w = width of feeder, in feet; f = feeding factor. To convert cu. yds. to tons; multiply cu. yds. by 1.35.

The chart on this page is particularly useful in determining the percentages of various sized particles to be obtained when two or more crushers are used in the same set up. It is also helpful in determining necessary screening facilities for making size separations. Here is an example designed to help show you how to use the percentage charts: To determine the amount of material passing 114" (31.8 mm) when the crusher is set at 2" (50.8 mm) closed side setting: find 2" (50.8 mm) at the top, and follow down the vertical line to 114" (31.8 mm). The horizontal line shows 39% passingor 61% retained.

PIONEER PRIMARY IMPACT CRUSHERS (New Holland Style)

Making a cubical product necessary for asphalt and concrete specifications poses many equipment problems for the aggregate producer. Among these problems are abrasive wear, accessibility for hammer maintenance or breaker bar changes and bridging in the crushing chamber. Pioneer Impact Crusher units are designed to help over-come problems faced by producers and at the same time to provide maximum productivity for existing conditions.

KODIAK AND LS CONE CRUSHER NOTES


1. Capacities and product gradations produced by cone crushers will be affected by the method of feeding, characteristics of the material fed, speed of the machine, power applied, and other factors. Hardness, compressive strength, mineral content, grain structure, plasticity, size and shape of feed particles, moisture content, and other characteristics of the material also affect production capacities and gradations. 2. Gradations and capacities shown are based on a typical well graded choke feed to the crusher. Well graded feed is considered to be 90% - 100% passing the closed side feed opening, 40% - 60% passing the midpoint of the crushing chamber on the closed side (average of the closed side feed opening and closed side setting), and 0 - 10% passing the closed side setting. Choke feed is considered to be material located 360 degrees around the crushing head and approximately 6" above the mantle nut. 3. Maximum feed size is the average of the open side feed opening and closed side feed opening. 4. A general rule of thumb for applying cone crushers is the reduction ratio. A crusher with coarse style liners would typically have a 6 to 1 reduction ratio. Thus, with a 34" closed side setting the maximum feed would be 6 x 34 or 4.5 inches. Reduction ratios of 8 to 1 may be possible in certain coarse crushing applications. Fine liner configurations typically have reduction ratios of 4:1 to 6:1. 5. Minimum closed side setting may be greater than published settings since it is not a fixed dimension. It will vary depending on crushing conditions, the compressive strength of the material being crushed, and stage of reduction. The actual minimum closed side setting is that setting just before the bowl assembly lifts minutely against the factory recommended pressurized hydraulic relief system. Operating the crusher at above the factory recommended relief pressure will void the warranty, as will operating the crusher in a relief mode (bowl float).

KODIAK OPERATING PARAMETERS


The following list outlines successful operating parameters for the Kodiak line of crushers. These are not prioritized in any order of importance. Material 1. Material with a compressive strength greater than 40,000 pounds per square inch should be reviewed and approved in advance by the factory. 2. No more than 10% of the total volume of feed material is sized less than the crusher closed side setting. 3. The crusher feed material conforms to the recommended feed size on at least two sides. 4. Moisture content of material below 5%. 5. Feed gradation remains uniform. 6. Clay or plastic material in crusher feed is limited to prevent the formation of compacted material or pancakes being created. Mechanical 1. Crusher operates at factory recommended tramp iron relief pressures without bowl float. 2. Crusher support structure is level and evenly supported across all four corners. In addition the support structure provides adequate strength to resist static and dynamic loads. 3. Crusher is operated only when all electrical, lubrication and hydraulic systems are correctly adjusted and functioning properly. 4. Lubrication low flow warning system functions correctly. 5. Lubrication oil filter functions properly and shows adequate filtering capacity on its indicator. 6. Crusher drive belts are in good condition and tensioned to factory specifications. 7. Crusher lubrication reservoir is full of lubricant that meets factory requird specifications. 8. Any welding on the crusher or support structure is grounded directly at the weld location. 9. Crusher input shaft rotates in the correct direction. 10. Manganese wear liners are replaced at the end of their expected life and before coming loose or devleoping cracks.
34

11. Crusher cone head is properly blocked prior to transport. 12. Only authorized OEM parts or factory approved wear parts are used. Application 1. Reduction ratio limited to 6 to 1 below 1" closed side setting and 8 to 1 above 1" closed side setting provided no bowl float occurs. 2. Manganese chamber configuration conforms to the factory recommended application guidelines. 3. Crusher is operated at the factory recommended rpm for the application. 4. Crusher feed is consistent providing an even flow of material, centered in the feed opening, and covering the mantle nut at all times. 5. Crusher input horsepower does not exceed factory specifications. 6. Crusher discharge chamber is kept clear of material buildup. 7. If the crusher can not be totally isolated from metal in the feed material, a magnet should be used over the crusher feed belt. 8. Crusher feed does not fall from a height more than 36" into the crushing chamber. 9. Crusher is always shut down prior to adjusting the closed side setting digital readout. Crusher is never operated at zero closed side setting.

MAGNA CONE CRUSHER NOTES


1. Capacities and product gradations produced by cone crushers will be affected by the method of feeding, characteristics of the material fed, speed of the machine, power applied, and other factors. Properly controlled, continuous feeding of recommended size material uniformly around the feed opening of a cone crusher is essential for maximum production. Hardness, compressive strength, mineral content, grain structure, plasticity, size and shape of feed particles, moisture content, and other characteristics of the material affect production capacities and gradations. 2. Minimum closed side setting may be greater than listed since it is not a fixed dimension. It will vary depending on crushing conditions, the compressive strength of the material being crushed, and stage of reduction. The actual closed side settings is that setting just before the bowl assembly lifts minutely against the factory recommended pressurized hydraulic relief system. Operating the crusher at above the factory recommended relief pressure will void the warranty, as will operating the crusher in a relief mode. 3. Total TPH through crusher including recirculating load. 4. Net TPH of product in closed cycle. Capacity based on 20% recirculating load. Screen opening for closed cycle must be something larger than crusher CSS to maintain recirculating load to maximum of 20%.

PIONEER SPOKANE VERTICAL SHAFT IMPACT CRUSHER OPERATION

These Vertical Shaft Impact Crushers are best applied in tertiary and quaternary applications and various secondary applications. Rock fed to the crushers accelerator mechanism (table or rotor) is flung outwards by centrifugal force against the stationary anvils or hybrid rock shelf for free-body impacting. The proper chamber configuration is application dependent. Major crushing advantages include: precise gradation control; production of chips and asphalt aggregates fines; compliance with cubical and fracture count specifications, for todays tight specification requirements such as Superpave.

PIONEER SECONDARY CRUSHING AVERAGE MATERIALS (BASALT, HARD LIMESTONE, GRAVEL/DOLOMITE) W/STANDARD CONFIGURATION
NOTE: (1) Feeds shown are typical feed gradations when following a primary jaw set at 3" to 4" or a primary impactor set at 2" to 3" with product sized material removed. (2) Crusher outputs show average values based on field experience, and are taken before screening product sized material out. The figures are provided for estimating required screen areas and tertiary crushing equipment when used with the expected tonnage of crusher throughput. Values will differ with each specific crushing application, so these figures are not guarantees. Factors that can affect output gradation are: feed gradation, feed tonnage, feed friability, impeller table configuration, impeller speed, moisture content, closed circuit screen cloth opening, available screen area and horsepower.

Feeds: Typical feeds shown have been screened to take out product sized material, and are initial feed plus recirculating load. Outputs: These outputs show average values based on field experience crushing tough material, and indicate crusher output before screening product sized material out. Gradation change is due to increased impeller speed from 50% to 100% of maximum and a difference in impeller table configuration. Values will differ for each specific crushing application. Factors that can affect output gradation are: feed gradation, feed tonnage, feed friability, impeller table configuration, impeller speed, moisture content, closed circuit screen cloth opening, available screen area and horsepower.

WASHING
INTRODUCTION
Clean aggregates are important to the construction industry. Yet producers of aggregates frequently are hard-pressed to meet all requirements for "cleanliness". Materials Engineers constantly strive to improve concrete and bituminous mixes and road bases. While hydraulic methods are the most satisfactory for cleaning aggregates to achieve the desired result, they are not always perfect. It is still necessary to accept materials on the basis of some allowable percent of deleterious matter. In the broadest terms, construction aggregates are washed to make them meet specifications. Specifically, however, there is more to the function of water in processing aggregates than mere washing. Among these functions are: 1. Removal of clay and silt. 2. Removal of shale, coal, soft stone, roots, twigs, and other trash. 3. Sizing. 4. Classifying or separating. 5. Dewatering. Because no washing method can be relied upon to be perfect, and because some materials may require too much time, equipment, and water to make them conform to specifications, it is not always economically practical to use such materials. It is important, therefore, to test the source thoroughly beforehand to insure the desired finished aggregates can be produced at reasonable cost. The project materials engineer can be of immeasurable help in determining the economic suitability of the material, and generally must approve the source before production begins, anyway. Further, many manufacturers of washing equipment will examine and test samples to determine whether their equipment can do the job satisfactorily. No reputable equipment manufacturer wants to recommend his equipment where he has a reasonable doubt about its satisfactory performance on the job.
82

The ideal gradation is seldom, if ever, met in naturally occurring deposits. Yet the quality and control of these gradations is absolutely essential to the workability and durability of the end use. Gradation, however, is a characteristic which can be changed or improved with simple processes and is the usual objective of aggregate preparation plants. Crushing, screening and blending are methods used to affect the gradations of aggregates. However, even following these processes, the material may still require washing to meet specification as to cleanliness. Also, screening is impractical smaller than No. 8 mesh and hence, hydraulic separation, or classifying, becomes an important operation. Washing and classifying of aggregates can be considered in two parts, depending on the size range of material. Coarse material - generally above 3/8" (sometimes split at 1/4" or #4 mesh). In the washing process it usually is desired to remove foreign, objectionable material, including the finer particles. Fine aggregates - from 3/8" down. In this case it generally is necessary to remove dirt and silt while retaining sand down to 100 mesh, or even 200 mesh.

83

GRADATION OF AGGREGATES
This term is used to denote the distribution of sizes of the particles of aggregates. It is represented by a series of percentages by weight of particles passing one size of sieve but retained by a smaller size. The distribution is determined by a mechanical analysis performed by shaking the aggregate through a series of nested sieves or screens, in descending order of size of openings. Round openings are used for larger screens, square ones for the smaller sieves. Prescribed methods and prescribed openings of the screens and sieves have been established by the ASTM (American Society for Testing Materials). The normal series of screens and sieves is: 112", 34", 38", Numbers 4, 8, 16, 30, 50, 100, 200 mesh.

FM AND SE
The factor called Fineness Modulus (FM) which is commonly used, serves as a quick check that a given sample meets specifications without checking each sieve size of material against the standards set for a particular job. FM is determined by adding the cumulative retained percentages of sieve sizes #4, 8, 16, 30, 50 and 100 and dividing the sum by 100.
Sieve #4 #8 #16 #30 #50 #100 % Passing 97 81 59 36 15 4 % Retained 3 19 41 64 85 96 308 / 100 = 3.08 (FM)

Different agencies will require different limits on the FM. Normally, the FM must be between 2.3 and 3.1 for ASTM C-33 concrete sand with only 0.1 variation for all the material used throughout a certain project. The Sand Equivalent Test (SE) is more complex than the FM test. The "equivalent" refers to the equivalent quantities of fine vs coarse particles in a given sand sample. The test is performed by selecting a given quantity of a sand sample and mixing it in a special solution. The chemicals in the solution contain excellent wetting agents. These wetting agents will rapidly dissolve any deposits of semi-insoluble clays or plastic clays, which are clinging to the individual sand particles. After a specified period of agitation, either by hand or by machine, the sample is allowed to stand in a graduated tube for a specified time period. A weighted plunger is slowly lowered into the settled sand-solution mixture, and the depth to which the weight descends is noted from the graduations on the tube. A formula is supplied with the testing apparatus, and from that formula the "SE" is determined.

90

In general, the finer the sand, the deeper the weight will penetrate. The wetting agents, that dissolve the clay, make a seemingly coarse material much finer because the clays are now a separate, very fine product. This extra fine material acts as a lubricant and the weight will descend deeper in the sample. Because of this, it is possible that a sample with an acceptable FM is rejected for failure to pass the SE test.

COARSE MATERIAL WASHING


In order to produce aggregate at the most economical cost, it is important to remove as soon as possible from the flow of material any size fraction that can be considered ready for use. The basic process consists of crushing oversize material, scrubbing or washing coatings or entrapped materials, sorting and dewatering. Beneficiation of some coarse aggregate fractions may be necessary. When scrubbing or washing of coarse material is required, it is generally a consideration of the material size, the type of dirt, clay or foreign material to be scrubbed and the Tons Per Hour rate needed that will determine the coarse material washing equipment to use.

91

SERIES 8000 LOG WASHERS

Purpose: In the aggregate business the log washer is known best for its ability to remove tough, plastic soluble clays from natural and crushed gravel, crushed stone and ore feeds. The log washer will also remove coatings from individual particles, break up agglomerations, and reduce some soft, unsound fractions by a form of differential grinding. Design: The log washer consists of a trough or tank of all welded construction set at an incline (typically 610) to decrease the transport affect of the paddles and to increase the mass weight against the paddles. Each log or shaft (two per unit) is fitted with four rows of paddles which are staggered and timed to allow the paddles of each shaft to overlap and mesh with the paddles of the other shaft. The paddles are pitched to convey the material up the incline of the trough to the discharge end.

92

Kolbergs log washer design improves on the traditional design in that the paddles are set in a spiral pattern around the shaft instead of in a straight line as in competitive units. This design feature provides many benefits including: 1) Reduces intermittent shock loading of the log, 2) Keeps a portion of the mass in motion at all times thus reducing power peaks and valleys as well as overall power requirements, 3) Reduces wear and 4) Provides more effective scrubbing. Other important features of the Kolberg log washer include two (2) large tank drain/clean-out ports, rising current inlet, overflow ports on each side of the unit, cast ni-hard paddles with corrugated faces, readily available externally mounted lower end bearings and a custom designed and manufactured single input dual output gear reducer. Application: The majority of the scrubbing action performed by the log washer is accomplished by the abrading action of one stone particle on another, not by the action of the paddles on the material. Due to this and other feed material characteristics such as clay solubility, the capacity of a log washer is given in a fairly wide range. Normal practice is to follow the log washer with a screening device on which spray bars are used to remove fines and clay coatings on the stone.

SERIES 6000 COARSE MATERIAL WASHERS

Purpose: The coarse material washer is used to remove a limited amount of deleterious material from a coarse aggregate. This deleterious material includes shale, wood, coal, dirt, trash and some very soluble clay. A coarse material washer is often used as final wash for coarse material (typically -212" x +38") following a wet screen. Both single and double spiral units are available depending on the capacity required. Design: The coarse material washer consists of a long vertical sided trough or tank of all welded construction set at a 15 incline. The shaft(s) or spiral(s) of a coarse material washer begin with one double pitch spiral flight with replaceable ni-hard outer wear shoes and AR steel inner wear shoes. Following this single flight is a variable number of bolt-on paddle assemblies. Standard units include four (4) sets of paddle arms with ni-hard tips. Two (2) sets of arms replace one full spiral. The balance of the spiral(s) consists of double pitch spiral flights with replaceable ni-hard outer wear shoes and AR steel inner wear shoes.
94

Other important features of the Kolberg coarse material washer include a rising current manifold, adjustable full width overflow weirs, readily available externally mounted lower end bearing(s) and upper end bearing(s) and shaft mounted gear reducer with v-belt drive assembly (one drive assembly per spiral). Application: As previously noted, the number of paddle assemblies can be varied. The number of paddle assemblies installed on particular unit is dependent on the amount of water turbulence and scrubbing action required to suitably clean the feed material. As the number of paddles is increased, the operational characteristics of the unit change including increased scrubbing action, increased retention time, reduced capacity and increased power requirements.

SERIES 6500 BLADEMILLS

Purpose: Similar in design to the Series 6000 Coarse Material Washer, the blademill is used to pre-condition aggregates for more efficient wet screening. Blademills are generally used prior to a screening and washing application to break up small amounts of soluble mud and clay. Typical feed to a blademill is 212" x 0". Units are available in both single and double spiral designs depending on the capacity required. Design: The blademill consists of a long vertical sided trough or tank of all welded construction set at a variable incline (typically 0-4) depending on the degree of scrubbing or pre-conditioning required. The shaft(s) or spiral(s) of a blademill begin with one double pitch spiral flight with replaceable ni-hard outer wear shoes and AR steel inner wear shoes. Following this single flight is a combination of bolt-on paddle and flight assemblies, which can be varied, depending on the amount of scrubbing required. The flight assemblies include replaceable ni-hard outer wear shoes and AR steel inner wear shoes. The paddle assemblies are fitted with replaceable cast ni-hard paddle tips. Other important features of the Kolberg blademill include readily available externally mounted lower end bearing(s) and upper end bearing(s) and shaft mounted gear reducer with v-belt drive assembly (one drive assembly per spiral).
96

Application: The number of paddle and flight assemblies as well as the angle of operation can be varied dependent upon the amount of scrubbing or pre-conditioning required. Also, as the number of paddles or angle of operation is increased, the operational characteristics of the unit change including increased scrubbing action, increased retention time, reduced capacity and increased power requirements. Capacities/Specifications: Blademill capacity is indirectly a function of retention time. Each application will indicate a required period of time for effective washing, which actually determines the capacity of the unit. As a rule of thumb, a blademill can be expected to process in the range of a coarse material washer with respect to raking capacity in TPH and requires approximately 14 to 13 of the water required in a coarse material washer. If sufficient information is not available with regards to clay content and solubility, the lower end of the coarse material washer range should be used. Kolberg blademills are offered in single or twin screw configurations of the same size as coarse material washers.

97

FINE MATERIAL WASHING AND CLASSIFYING


INTRODUCTION
Aside from washing sand to remove dirt and silt, hydraulic methods are employed to size the material and to classify or separate it into the proper particle designation. After these steps, it is usual procedure to dewater the product. Washing aggregates to clean them is not new. However, much closer attention has been given to both the cleanliness and the gradation of the fines in construction aggregates. Thus has developed a new "art" in the processing of fine aggregates. This "art" requires more technical know-how and methods more precise than those usually associated with the mere washing of gravel and rock. At the same time, it has been necessary to advance the art in a practical way so as to produce material at a reasonable price. Screening is the best way to separate coarse aggregates into size ranges. With fine materials, however, screening on less than No. 8 mesh usually is impractical. This necessitates a split between 38" and #4 mesh putting everything finer into the category of requiring hydraulic separation for best gradation control. With hydraulic separation, a large amount of water is used. Here separation depends on the relative buoyancys of the grain particles and on their settling rates under specific conditions of water flow and turbulence. In some cases, separation depends on the relative specific gravity difference between the materials to be separated and the hydraulic medium. In a certain sense, this applies when water is used to separate particle sizes of sands. Perhaps it would be more apt to say this separation of sands is based on relative densities or that the process separates by gravity.

98

In its strictest sense, however, classifying means that several sizes of sand products of equal specific gravity can be separated while rejecting slimes, silt, and similar deleterious substances. But sand particles are not necessarily always of the same specific gravity, so frequently both specific gravity and particle size affect the rate of settling. As a consequence, you cannot always estimate the probable gradation of the final products without preliminary tests on the material. Nor can you be sure of product quality without analysis and tests after processing. In any hydraulic classification of sand, the amount of fines retained with the final product will be dependent upon: 1. Area of settling basin. 2. Amount of water used. 3. Extent of turbulence in settling area. Obviously, the area of the settling basin generally will be fixed. Hence the amount and size of fines to be rejected will be determined by regulating the water quantity and turbulence.

99

SERIES 5000 FINE MATERIAL WASHERS

Purpose: Fine material washers, also frequently called screw classifiers or screw dehydrators, are utilized to clean and dewater fine aggregates (typically 38" or -#4 mesh), fine tune end products to meet specifications and to separate out slimes, dirt and fines (typically -#100 mesh or finer). Available in both single and twin configurations, fine material washers are most often used after a sand classifying/blending tank or after a wet screening operation. Design: The fine material washer consists of an all welded tub set at an incline of approx. 18.5 (4:12 slope) and includes a full length curved bottom with integral rising current manifold designed to control fines retention and the water velocity within the pool. The lower end of the tub or tank is flared to provide a large undisturbed pool, which provides accurate material classification. Long adjustable weirs around the top of the sides and end of the tubs flared portion are designed to handle large volumes of slurry and to control the pool level for uniform overflow. Also incorporated into the design of the tub is a chase water line to clear the drain trough for better dewatering and an overflow flume.

100

The shaft(s) or spiral(s) of the fine material washer consist of a double pitch, solid flight spiral complete with AR steel inner wear shoes and urethane outer wear shoes to provide protection of the entire flight (cast ni-hard outer wear shoes are optional). Other important features of the Kolberg fine material washer include readily available externally mounted lower end bearing(s) and upper end bearing(s), shaft mounted gear reducer with v-belt drive assembly (one drive assembly per spiral) and center feed box with internal and external baffles to reduce the velocity of the material entering the fine material washer and reduce pool turbulence, enhancing fines retention. Application: Two important elements must be considered when sizing a fine material washer for a particular application: 1) calculation of overflow capacities and 2) calculation of sand raking capacity. Overflow capacity is critical to ensure that the unit has sufficient capacity to handle the water required for proper dilution of the feed material which allows for proper settling to occur and to produce the desired split point. The raking capacity of a fine material washer is governed by the fineness of the material to be dewatered. Generally speaking, the finer the material to be raked, the slower the spiral speed must be to ensure adequate dewatering and reduced pool turbulence. The following tables are provided to assist in the proper selection of a fine material washer. PERCENT SCREW SPEED vs. PERCENT FINES (in the product)

CLASSIFICATION METHODS APPLIED TO FINE AGGREGATES


INTRODUCTION
Classification is the sizing of solid particles by means of settling. In classification, the settling is controlled so that the very fines, silts and clays will flow away with a stream of the water or liquid, while the coarse particles accumulate in a settled mass. Washing/classifying equipment is manufactured in many different configurations depending on the natural material characteristics and the end product(s) desired. Although, the general definition of aggregate classifying can be applied to coarse material (+38"), it is most commonly applied to the material passing 38". Included in the fine material classifying equipment are the sand screws, counter-current classifiers, sand drags and rakes, hydro-cyclones, hydro-classifiers, bowl classifiers, hydro-separators, density separators and scalping/classifying tanks. All the above mentioned classifiers except the scalping/classifying tank are generally single product machines which can only affect the gradation of the end product on the very fine side (the overflow separation size). This separation size, due to the mechanical means employed, is never a knife-edge separation. However, the aim of modern classification methods is to approach a clean-cut differentiation. Many material specifications today call for multiple sizing of sand with provisions for blending back to obtain the gradations required. It is rare to find the exact blend occurring naturally or to economically manufacture the blend to exact specifications. In either case, the accepted procedure is to screen out the fine material from which the sand specifications will be obtained. This material is processed in a water scalping/classifying tank for multiple separation by grain sizes or particle specific gravity. There is no mystery connected with classifying tanks. They are merely long settling basins capable of holding large quantities of water. The water and sand mix
104

(slurry) is introduced into the tank at the feed end. The slurry, which often comes from dredging or wet screening operations, flows toward the overflow end, and as it does, solids settle to the bottom of the tank. Weight differences between sand particles allow coarser material to settle first while lighter material progressively settles out further along the tank length.

PRINCIPLES OF SETTLING
The specific gravity of aggregates varies according to the nature of the minerals in the rock. "Bulk" specific gravity is used in aggregate processing and indicates the relative weight of the rock or sand, including the natural pores, voids and cavities, as compared to water (specific gravity = 1.0). In the case of fine aggregates, the specific gravity is about 2.65. As a consequence, the weight of grains of sand will be directly proportional to their volume. All grains of sand of a given size will therefore weigh the same, and the weight can be measured in relation to the opening of the sizing sieve. A second basic consideration is that of the density or specific gravity of the slurry itself. Dilution is usually expressed in percentages by weight of either the solid, or, of the water. Since the specific gravity of water is 1.00 and that of sand is assumed to be 2.65, a simple calculation will give the specific gravity, or density, of the slurry mixture.

CALCULATION OF SLURRY OR PULP


The following method of calculating slurry or pulp is quick, accurate and requires no reference tables. It may be used for any liquid-solid mixture. Basic equation, for a single substance or mixture: 4 GPM = TPH x SG For Water: GPM Water = TPH Water x 4 4 For Solids: GPM Solids = TPH Solids x SG Solids
105

For Solids SG 2.65-2.70 (sand, gravel, quartz, limestone): GPM Solids = TPH Solids x 1.5 4 For Slurry: GPM Slurry = TPH Slurry x SG Slurry To solve for Specific Gravity: TPH Slurry x 4 SG Slurry = GPM Slurry Example: Given: 10 TPH of Sand @ 40% Solids (by weight) Find: GPM and SG of Slurry Use this matrix to calculate your data
% Weight Water Solids Slurry 40 100 10 TPH SG 1.0 2.67 GPM

Fill in as follows: 1) Convert % Weight to decimel form: 40% = 0.40 2) TPH Slurry = TPH solids divided by 0.40 = 25 3) TPH Water = TPH Slurry - TPH Solids = 15 4) GPM Water = TPH Water x 4 = 60 5) GPM Solids = TPH Solids x 1.5 = 15 6) GPM Slurry = GPM Water + GPM Solids = 75 7) SG Slurry = TPH Slurry x 4/GPM Slurry = 1.33
% Weight Water Solids Slurry 60 40 100 TPH 15 10 25 SG 1.0 2.67 1.33 GPM 60 15 75

The tablulation can be solved for all unknowns if SG Solids and two other principal quantities are given. If GPM Slurry, % Solids and SG Solids are given, solve for 1 TPH and divide total GPM Slurry by resultant GPM Slurry to obtain TPH Solids. Rework tabulation with this figure to check the result. Percent Solids by Volume may be calculated directly from GPM column.
106

GPM column may also be extended to any other unit desired; e.g., Cu. Ft. per Second. NOTE: 1) The equation is based on U.S. Gallon and std. (short) ton of 2000 lbs. 2) The difference in result by using 2.65 or 2.70 SG Solids is negligible compared to the inaccuracy usually inherent in given quantities. 3) For sea water, use SG 1.026. In this case, the difference is appreciable. CONVERSION FACTORS

The third consideration is that of viscosity. Viscosity can be compared to friction in that it is a resistance to movement between liquid particles and between solid and liquid particles. In a continuous process, such as in the production of fine aggregates, the slurry flows into and out of the classifying tank at a measurable rate, which determines its velocity of flow through the tank. The solids settle out, due to their weight, at a speed that is expressed as rate of fall or settling. It is the interrelationship between these two movements which governs the path of the falling particle.

HORIZONTAL TRAVEL OF FALLING SAND PARTICLES

Settling From A Surface Current In the figure above, directions of the current and of the free fall of the particle are at right angles. The actual path of a falling particle is a parabola; the height of fall (D) and the length of horizontal travel (L) are determined by use of well-known formula. This is called settling from a surface current.

107

While a particle is in suspension, one force acts on it to make it fall, while others act to retard the fall. The force that acts downward is that of gravity (g). It has been brought out that viscosity of the liquid may retard the fall. The difference between free settling and hindered settling is a relative one between the factors causing a particle to fall and those retarding the fall. In free settling the downward component is much greater than those slowing up the fall are. In hindered settling the downward component is only slightly greater than those slowing the fall are. Apart from the multiple sizing, the scalping tank serves to eliminate the surplus water prior to discharge of product to a screw-type classifier. By so doing, the amount of water handled by the screw classifier can be regulated better for the mesh size of fines to be retained. It becomes apparent, then, that a water scalping tank will be followed by as many screw classifiers as there are sizes of sand products to be made. Adjustable weirs on the scalping tank regulate the rate and velocity of overflow to provide the size separations required. Clays, silt and slime which are lighter than the finest mesh sand, remain suspended in the water and are washed out over the tank weirs for discharge into a settling pond. In order to re-blend sand fractions into a specification product, settling stations are located along the bottom length of the tank. The best classifying occurs with more length to the classifying tank. It is recommended to use a minimum of a 28' tank. Shorter tanks will work when the material is very consistent in gradation and close to the product specification to be made. Build up or "silting in" of the classifying tank will occur as the specific gravity of the overflow slurry goes beyond 1.065. The ideal slurry is between 1.025 and 1.030. At this point maximum efficiency occurs. Additional water will carry away more fines unless the tank area is oversized.

SERIES 7000 SAND CLASSIFYING TANKS

Purpose: Classification is the sizing of solid particles (typically 38" or -#4 mesh) by means of settling. In classification, the settling is controlled so that the fines or undersize material will flow away with a stream of water or liquid, while the coarse or oversize material accumulates in a settled mass. By applying the principles of settling and classification in the classifying/ water scalping tank, the following functions are performed: 1) Reject undesirables remove clay, silts, slime and excess fine particles. 2) Separate desirable sand particles so that they can be controlled. 3) Reblend separated material into correct gradation specifications. 4) Production of two different specification products simultaneously and an excess product. 5) Remove excess water. Feed to a classifying tank is typically in the form of a sand and water slurry. The slurry feed can come from several sources, but is generally from a dredging or wet screening operation. CLASSIFYING TANKS ARE NECESSARY WHEN ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS EXIST: 1) Feed material gradations fail to meet the allowable minimums or maximums when compared to the material specifications to be produced. 2) Sand feed gradations vary within a deposit. 3) More than one specification product is desired. 4) Excessive water is present, such as from a dredging operation.
110

Design: A classifying tank consists of an all welded tank of varying size ranging from 8' x 20' to 12' x 48'. The slurry feed is introduced into the tank through a feed box, which includes an integral curved liner for improved slurry flow control. As the slurry flows toward the discharge end of the tank, weight differences between sand particles allow coarser material to settle first while the lighter material settles progressively further down the tank. Clays, silt and slime which are lighter than the finest mesh sand remain suspended in the water and are washed out over the adjustable tank weirs for discharge into a settling pond. Sand fractions are then reblended into two specification products and an excess product, via settling stations (six to eleven depending on tank length) located along the bottom of the tank. Discharge valves (typically three) at each station serve to batch the sand into a collecting/ blending flume located below the tank.

Sand discharge is controlled via a controller (see section on Kolberg Spec-Select Classifying Tank Controllers) which receives a signal from an adjustable height sensing paddle located at each station. The sensing paddle controls the amount of material that accumulates at each station before a valve opens to discharge the sand and water slurry. The valves consist of self-aligning urethane dart valves and urethane seats providing uniform flow at the maximum rate, positive sealing and long service life. The urethane dart valve is connected to an adjustable down rod to ensure optimum seating pressure and provide leak resistant operation. The valves are activated by an electric/ hydraulic mechanism in response to signals received from the controller and sensing paddle. Once discharged, the slurry flows through product down pipes, which include urethane elbows for improved flow and wear into a collecting/blending flume for transport to the appropriate dewatering screw. The electric/hydraulic mechanism is mounted within a bridge that runs lengthwise with the tank. This system includes an electric/hydraulic pump, reservoir, accumulator, individual ball and check valves at each station and a toggle C switch box with 3-position A B switch for each individual valve providing maximum flexibility in trouble shooting and servicing the classifying tank. Other important features of the Kolberg classifying tank include stainless steel hydraulic tubing with O-ring face seal fittings, optional rising current cells to create hindered settling, optional recirculating pump to reduce overall water requirements and complete pre-wiring of the tank to a NEMA 4 junction box located near the end of the bridge.

112

Application: Several factors affect the sizing and application of a classifying tank. Among these are dry material feed rate, material density, feed gradation, product gradations or specifications desired, feed source, the amount of water entering the tank with the feed material and other material characteristics such as whether the material is crushed or natural. Of these factors, four items must be known to properly size a classifying tank: Feed rate (TPH)? Feed gradation? Feed source?..Conveyor? Dredge? Product gradations or specifications desired? Given the above, the classifying tank is sized based on its water handling capacity. The requirements for water in a classifying tank are to have approximately 10 GPM of water for every 1 TPH of total sand feed or 100 GPM of water for every 1 TPH of silt (-#200 mesh). The larger of these two figures and the desired mesh split to be produced within the tank are then used to size the classifying tank. This process allows for proper dilution of the sand so that the material will correctly settle in the tank for proper classification. The following table is provided to assist in the proper selection of a classifying tank.

SPEC-SELECT CONTROLLERS
Purpose: Kolberg SpecSelect controllers are utilized in conjunction with a classifying tank to control the blending of the various sand fractions into one or two specification products plus an excess product. Spec-Select controllers are also a valuable source of information when trouble shooting or simply monitoring the activity occurring within a classifying tank. Design: Spec-Select controllers consist of an industrial quality solid-state PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and/or PC (Personal Computer) housed in a NEMA 4 enclosure. Simple, touch-screen controls are used on all systems for the operator to set and adjust the electronic timers, proportioning the amount of material to be discharged from the three valves at each station of the classifying tank. EEPROM memory provides permanent storage of the screens in the display unit, which are used to create a user-friendly interface to the PLC, which actually controls the tank. Application: Two modes of controlling the tank discharge are utilized in conventional classifying tanks. The Spec-Seclect I (SSI) mode of operation is the simplest method to operate a classifying tank and is the same in theory as the manual splitter box type classifying tanks. It is an independent control of each station by a percentage method to determine the amount of material discharged to each of the three product flumes. The system operates on a 10-second cycle that is repeated over and over from product A to B to C. The mode of operation works best in a fairly consistent pit where the feed gradation does not vary too much. Monitoring of the product gradations informs the operator of variances in the feed. Changes to the percentage settings at each station can be made quickly at the controller to maintain the product specification. 115

The Spec-Select II (SSII) mode of operation is a dependent method of operation utilizing minimum and maximum timer settings at each station to control the material discharge and ensure that product specifications are met on a consistent basis. This system not only controls the discharge valves at each station but also controls all of the settling stations relative to each other. The minimum and maximum timer settings are determined by the gradation of the material settling out at each station and relating this to the product specification limits. In effect, the SSII mode of operation is making batches of specification sand continuously. Each A or B valve at a given station discharges sand on a time basis between its minimum and maximum timer settings. No valve can begin a new batch until every other valve has discharged at least its minimum in the present batch being made. When a valve reaches its maximum timer setting and one or more of the other valves for that product have not yet met their minimum settings, the controller automatically directs the material to one of the other product valves and flumes. It is important to remember, in this mode of operation, the potential to waste or to direct sand to a non-spec product where it is not desired is increased and should be carefully considered when operating a tank by this method. This mode of operation is typically used when the feed gradation and/or feed rate vary widely. KOLBERG OFFERS THREE MODELS OF SPEC-SELECT CLASSIFYING TANK CONTROLLERS:

JCI SCREENING THEORY


Screening is defined as a mechanical process which accomplishes a separation of particles on the basis of size. Particles are presented to a multitude of apertures in a screening surface and rejected if larger than the opening, or accepted and passed through if smaller. The material requiring separation, the feed, is delivered to one end of the screening surface. Assuming that the openings in the screening media are all the same size, movement of the material across the surface will produce two products. The material rejected by the apertures (overs) discharges over the far end, while the material accepted by the apertures (throughs) pass through the openings. As a single particle approaches the screening media, it could come into contact with the solid wire or plate that makes up the screen media, or pass completely through the open hole. If the size of the particle is relatively small when compared to the openings, there is a high degree of probability that it will pass through one of them before it reaches the end of the screen. Conversely, when the particle is relatively large, or close to the same size as the opening, there is a high degree of probability that it will pass over the entire screen and be rejected to the overs. If the movement of the particle is very rapid, it might bounce from wire to wire and never reach a aperture for sizing. The velocity of the particle, the incline of the screen, and the thickness of the wire all tend to reduce the effective dimensions of the openings and make accurate sizing more difficult. It becomes apparent that this simplified screen would perform much better if the following conditions prevailed: 1. Each particle is delivered individually to an aperture. 2. The particle arrives at the opening with zero forward velocity. 3. The particle traveled normal to the screen surface. 4. The smallest dimension of the particle was centered on the opening. 5. Screening surface has little or no thickness.

120

As material flows over a vibrating screening surface, it tends to develop fluid-like characteristics. The larger particles rise to the top while the smaller particles sift through the voids and find their way to the bottom of the material bed. This phenomenon of differentiation is called stratification. Without stratification of the material, there would be no opportunity for the small particles to get to the bottom of the material bed and pass through the screen apertures causing separation of material by size. After the material has been stratified to allow the passage of throughs, the apertures are then blocked with oversize particles that were above the fines in the material bed before passage of more fines can occur, the bed must be restratified so the fines are again at the bottom of the bed and available for passage. Thus the process must be repeated successively until all fines are passed. Potential occurrences that can prevent successful screening include: 1. The arrival of several particles at an aperture, with the result that none succeed in passing even though all are undersize. 2. Oversize particles plugging the openings so that undersize cannot pass though. 3. Undersize particles blinding the apertures by sticking to the screening media which reduces the opening thus preventing passage of undersize particles. 4. Oblique impact of near-size particles bouncing off the sides of the aperture reducing efficiency.

ELLIPTICAL STROKE FLAT SCREENS


The elliptical stroke flat screen combines the efficiency of a horizontal with the tumbling action of a circular stoke incline screen. Figure 1 illustrates how the elliptical stroke is achieved with the three shaft design. The result is a screen with a high stroke amplitude, and high g-force that resists plugging. The ability to change the angle of throw (timing angle), amplitude of throw (stroke length), and speed (RPM) of the screen allows the screen to be fine-tuned to maximize production. The bearing mounting method provides long service life due to the outer ring rotation, which distributes the loads over a larger area than conventional inner race rotation designs. The variations in the stroke patterns of Incline and Horizontal Screens are illustrated in Figure 1. The elliptical stroke JCI screen with a 34" stroke run at 875 RPM produces 8 Gs of acceleration to the vibrating basket. This aggressive vibration helps prevent damp sticky material from adhering to the wirecloth, reducing the effective opening. The stroke angle can be changed in 5 degree increments from 30 to 60 degrees of inclination. This feature allows the operator to change from a relatively flat angle that results in a relatively high material velocity across the screen, to more vertical angle that keeps the material on the screen longer to allow the fines and near size more time to find and pass through the screen opening. The operating speed of the JCI flat screen can be easily changed with the factory supplied adjustable speed sheave. The removable shims in the sheave effectively change the pitch diameter of the drive sheave to vary the screen speed from 740 rpm to 875 rpm. General guidelines for setting the operational parameters on the JCI flat screen are given in Figure 2. In general, coarse screening uses a large amplitude, slow speed, flat timing angle. As the Material to be screened becomes finer, the amplitude gets smaller, the speed is increased, and the timing angle is steeper for best results.
122

DAMP STICKY MATERIAL


The adjustment features of the JCI flat screen, speed, stroke, and timing angle, can effectively be used to maximize screen efficiency. Screen surface plugging and blinding reduces the open area of the screen media thereby severely reducing efficiency. In plugging, the apertures in the screening media are plugged by the wedging of particles in the openings, usually this happens when there is a large amount of near-size, material passing over the screen. In blinding, undersize particles adhere to the screen structure and then to each other until the aperture has closed completely. This condition usually arises when the material is fine, damp and surface moisture has caused it to become sticky. There are several solutions to the plugging blinding problem. The simplest is to adjust the speed, stroke length, and inclination angle of the vibrating screen. A vigorous motion with a large stroke lifts the near-size particles out of the openings and moves them along the surface of the screen media. The high g-force acceleration associated with the JCI flat screen accelerates the screen away from the material faster than gravity causes the material particles to free-fall. This action effectively prevents plugging that can affect the efficiency of short stroke horizontal screens. The aggressive vibration simultaneously shakes the clinging particles loose from the screen media and passes them on to the throughs material and minimize the blinding of the screen surface. The JCI flat screen allows the operator to adjust the speed, stroke length and stroke inclination to minimize the effect of plugging and blinding. If the material characteristics change, the operating parameters can be changed to optimize the screening efficiency with changing material characteristics. To augment the effectiveness of changing stroke size, rpm, and timing angle, the following can be done. 1. The use of Polyurethane deck material with flexible panels will help prevent material build-up. As material sticks to the panel the mass increases to a point were the sticky material crumbles and is flung off the screening media.
123

2. Adding a spray system to increase the moister content of the material being screened. The water breaks down the fine material and flushes the fines though the screening media. 3. The use of slotted opening wire to increase percent of open area and reduce the number of wires which material can build up on. The slots also increase the distance material has to bridge before blinding occurs in one direction. 4. End-tension decks also increase the percent of open area in two ways. The wire itself has greater open area with fewer cross wires. The deck frame has fewer rails supporting the wire which blocks openings reducing open area. End-tension wire has a higher tension smaller diameter wire which cuts through sticky material. End-tension wires also can flex independently between cross wires vibrating like guitar strings preventing material from sticking to the wire. 5. Z-wire also has increased open area over standard weave wire. As material sticks to the wire the mass increases to a point were defection of the wire causes the sticky material to crumble and separate from the wire.

PATENT APPLIED FOR

JCI COMBO screens combine the advantages of both an inclined screen and a horizontal screen. The top deck of the screen is equipped with incline panel sections that begin with a 20-degree section, flatten to a 10 degree section, and the remaining deck area is at zero degrees. The second deck begins at 15 degrees, flattens to 7.5 degrees, and the remaining deck is also at zero. The entire bottom deck is horizontal. By installing sloped sections at the feed end, material bed depth is reduced since gravity will increase the travel speed of the material. This reduced bed depth minimizes spillover, and enables fine particles to stratify through the coarser particles and onto the screening surface much faster, where it can then find more opportunities to be passed through screen openings. This design also enables fines to be introduced to the horizontal bottom deck faster, which increases the bottom deck screening capacity, or bottom deck factor used in the VSMA screen calculation. JCI has also designed a punch plate section into the feed plate itself, thereby increasing the total screening area by an additional 10%. This punch plate will remove a high percentage of fine particles before they are even introduced to the actual screen deck, thereby increasing production volumes. The coarse near size and over size particles that are not initially separated on the middle and top decks gradually slow down as the deck panels flatten out to the horizontal section towards the discharge end of the screen. This materials reduced travel speed, combined with the optimum angle of trajectory in

relationship to the screen opening, provides a high screening efficiency that oval motion horizontal screens have built their reputation on. The COMBO screen is also the only multi-slope design that features a triple shaft design. This design provides an optimal oval screening motion that has proven effective over decades of success in the companys traditional flat screen design. In addition to the features of the COMBO design, producers will also benefit by having the ability to adjust stroke length, stroke angle, and RPM speed to best suit the conditions of the application. The end result is a machine that: 1) Provides increased feed production by as much as 20% over standard flat or incline screens; 2) Maintains or improves the screening efficiency of separation found on horizontal screens; 3) Reduces material spillover at the feed end from high volumes or surges of feed material; 4) Improves the bottom screen decks utilization, thereby increasing volume and efficiency. Although not as portable as the traditional horizontal screens, the COMBO design will be an ideal screen for a variety of both scalping and product sizing applications. The design is especially well suited for accepting large volumetric feed surges, deposits containing a high percentage of fines that must be removed, installations where screening capacity must be increased within the same structural or mounting footprint, or in closed circuit with crushers. JCI COMBO screens are available in both a standard duty and finishing duty three deck configurations and are currently available in 6x20 and 8x20 sizes. JCI COMBO screens feature huck-bolt construction, incline deck panels that slope form 20 to zero degrees, adjustable stroke amplitudes, a hinged tailgate rear section for maintenance access, and a perforated feed box for additional screening area. COMBO screens can be installed with either standard wire cloth or urethane/rubber deck panels.

JCI VIBRATING SCREEN CAPACITY CALCULATIONS


Most manufacturers use a modified version of the VSMA (Vibrating Screen Manufactures Association) formula to determine screen capacity. The twelve factors used in the formula below are based in large part on the VSMA charts and formula. Formula: A=B*S*D*V*H*T*K*Y*P*O*W*F

A, the calculated capacity per square foot of screen area in tons per hour. B = Basic capacity per square foot in tons per hour (One ton = 2000 pounds) S = Incline factor D = Deck factor V = Oversize factor H = Halfsize factor T = Slot factor K = Material condition factor Y = Spray factor P = Shape factor O = Open area factor W = Weight factor F = Efficiency factor There are other influences but which materially affect screen operation. We have assembled this data and weighted it in accordance with our experience. The additional factors we are suggesting are: TYP = STR = TIM = RPM = NEA = BED = Type of stroke factor Stroke length factor Timing angle factor Revolutions per minute factor Near size factor Bed depth factor

The screen capacity formula with 6 new factors above now becomes: A = B * S * D * V * H * T * K * Y * P * O * W * F * TYP * STR * TIM * RPM * NEA * BED 139

KOLBERG SCREENS
INTRODUCTION
Vibrating screens are used to separate a mixture of sizes of materials into categories of sizes. Sorting is done by passing the mixed material along a surface having uniform openings. Those particles small enough to pass through the openings are called the undersize product and those particles too large to pass through the openings are called the oversize product of those particular openings. The surface having the openings is usually formed of woven wire and is called screen cloth. Coarse sorting is sometimes done on a steel plate surface having relatively large holes either cut or punched in it. These wire cloths or punched plate surfaces are held in superimposed frames called decks. Vibrating screens may have one, two, three or four decks. The undersize of each deck falls to that below it for additional sorting. The decks are held in a box-like structure. The box is mounted on a rotating shaft made to vibrate. The vibration is induced by an eccentricity cut into the shaft or by counterweights mounted on the ends of the shaft. Each revolution of the powered shaft lifts the box and its screening surfaces and at the same time moves the entire assembly forward. This causes the material on the decks to flow in a bouncing manner from the feed ends of the decks to the discharge ends. Suitable chutes and hoppers gather the several sizes of products produced.

CONVEYORSINTRODUCTION Belt conveyors are designed to carry material via the shortest distance between the loading and unloading points. When required, belt conveyors can operate continuously, without loss of time and are capable of handling tonnages of bulk materials that would be more costly and often impractical to transport by other means. This often avoids confusion, delays, and safety hazards of rail and motor traffic in plants and other congested areas.
Choosing the right conveyor starts with looking at the five basic considerations: material characteristics, conveyor length and discharge height, TPH feed, conveyor width and HP requirements. 1. Material Characteristics a. Variables include: Particle Shape, Particle Size, Moisture, Angle of Repose, Lump Size & % Fines and Weight. Characteristics normally used as a rule of thumb include: 100 lbs. per cubic foot density, 37 degree angle of repose and less than 25% of a max. 3" lump.

b. Material characteristics can affect other elements of conveyor selection. Heavier material or large lumps may require more HP, heavier belt, closer idler spacing and impact idlers at feed points. Abrasiveness may require wear liners or special rubber compositions. Moisture may require steeper hopper sides, wider belts, anti-buildup return idlers and special belt wipers. Dust content may require special discharge hoods and chutes, slower belt speeds and hood covers. Sharp material may require impact idlers, wear liners, special belt and plate feeder. Lightweight materials may require wider belts and less horsepower. c. Conveyor Belt Conveyor belt consists of three elements: top cover, carcass and bottom cover. The belt carcass carries the tension forces necessary in starting and moving the loaded belt, absorbs the impact energy of material loading, and provides the necessary stability for proper alignment and load support over idlers under all operating conditions. Because the primary function of the cover is to protect the carcass, it must resist the wearing effects of abrasion and gouging, which vary according to the type of material conveyed. The top cover will generally be thicker than the bottom cover because the concentration of wear is usually on the top, or carrying side. The belt is rated in terms of maximum recommended operating tension pounds per inch of width (PIW). The PIW of the fabric used in the belt is multiplied by the number of plies in the construction of the belt to determine the total PIW rating of the belt.

2. Length Length is determined one of three ways: a. Lift Height Required: When lift height is the determining factor, as a rule of thumb an 18 degree incline is used, where 3 x height needed appriximates the conveyor length required. Particle size, moisture and other factors affect the maximum incline angle. If the material tends to have a conveyable angle that is less than 18 degrees, a longer conveyor needs to be selected to achieve the desired lift height. b. Distance to be conveyed c.

NOTE: *Capacity is based on material weighing 100 lb./cu. ft. with 37.5 degree angle of repose, 3-roll, 35 degree idlers and no skirt boards. *Capacity is theoretical based on a full cross section. To use for conveyor sizing, use 75%-80% of the capacity listed above.

4. Conveyor Width There are a number of factors that affect width. These include TPH feed, future considerations, lump size and the % of fines, cross section of how the material settles on the belt and material weight. a. Normally portable conveyors are set-up to run at 350 feet per minute, as this is accepted as the best speed for the greatest number of types of material and optimum component life. When it is desirable to run at a different speed, this will usually be a factory decision based on the material and the capabilities requested by the customer. These variations are generally applicable on engineered systems.

177

b. Lump size and the % of fines can have a major affect on width selection. As a rule of thumb, the following should be utilized. Width 18" 24" 30" 36" 42" All Lumps 2" Max. 212" 3" 312" 4" 90% Fines 3" 4" 5" 6" 7"

Belts must be wide enough so any combination of lumps and fine material do not load the lumps too close to the edge of the belt. c. The cross section of how the material settles on a moving belt can have a major affect on expected tonnage for a given width conveyor.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE CROSS SECTION ARE:


The angle of repose of a material is the angle that the surface of a normal, freely formed pile, makes to the horizontal. The angle of surcharge of a material is the angle to the horizontal that the surface of the material assumes while the material is at rest on a moving conveyor belt. This angle usually is 5 to 15 less than the angle of repose, though in some materials it may be as much as 20 less. The flowability of a material, as measured by its angle of repose and angle of surcharge, determines the cross-section of the material load that safely can be carried on a belt. It also is an index of the safe angle of incline of the belt conveyor. The flowability is determined by such material characteristics as: size and shape of the fine particles and lumps, roughness or smoothness of the surface of the material particles, proportion of fines and lumps present, and moisture content of material.

178

FLOWABILITYANGLE OF SURCHARGE ANGLE OF REPOSE


Very free flowing 5 Angle of surcharge Free flowing 10 Angle of surcharge Average Flowing 20 Angle of 25 Angle of surcharge surcharge Sluggish 30 Angle of surcharge

0-19 Angle of repose Uniform size, very small rounded particle, either very wet or very dry, such as dry silica sand, cement, wet concrete, etc.

20-29 Angle of repose Rounded, dry polished particles, of medium weight, such as whole grain or beans.

30-34 Angle of repose Irregular, granular or lumpy materials of medium weight, such as anthracite coal, cottonseed meal, clay, etc.

35-39 Angle of repose Typical common materials such as bituminous coal, stone, most ores, etc.

40-up Angle of repose Irregular, stringy, fibrous, interlocking mateial, such as wood chips, bagasse, tempered foundry sand, etc.

MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

d. The material weight affects the volume, which affects the width. Most aggregate weighs between 90110 lbs. per cubic foot. When the weight varies significantly, it can have a dramatic effect on expected belt width needed to achieve a given tonnage. 5. HP Requirements The power required to operate a belt conveyor depends on the maximum tonnage handled, the length of the conveyor, the width of the conveyor and the vertical distance that the material is lifted. Factors X + Y + Z (from tables below) = Total HP Required at Headshaft. The figures shown are based on average conditions with a uniform feed and at a normal operating speed. Additional factors such as pulley friction, skirtboard friction, material acceleration and auxiliary device frictions (mechanical feeder, tripper, etc.) may require an increase in horsepower. Drive efficiency is taken into consideration to determine the motor horsepower required. This can be an additional 10-15% above the headshaft HP. The ability to start a loaded conveyor will also require an additional HP consideration.

HOW TO DETERMINE CONVEYOR BELT SPEED


Five (5) factors are required to determine conveyor belt speed. A = Motor RPM B = Motor Sheave Dia. (inches) C = Reducer Sheave Dia. (inches) D = Reducer Ratio E = Dia. of Pulley (inches) A x B C = Reducer Input Speed (RPM) Reducer Input Speed (RPM) D = Drive Pulley RPM Drive Pulley RPM x 0.2618 x E = Conveyor Belt Speed (FPM) Example: Determine Conveyor Belt Speed of a 30" x 60' conveyor with a 15 HP, 1750 RPM electric motor drive, 16" head pulley, 6.2" diameter motor sheave, 9.4" diameter reducer sheave and a 15:1 reducer. A = 1750 RPM B = 6.2 C = 9.4 D = 15 E = 16 1750 x 6.2 9.4 = 1154 RPM (Reducer Input) 1154 RPM 15 = 77 RPM (Pulley Speed) 77 RPM x 0.2618 x 16 = 322 FPM Conveyor Belt Speed NOTE: 1. To speed up the conveyor belt, a smaller reducer sheave could be used or a larger motor sheave could be used. 2. To slow down the conveyor belt, a larger reducer sheave could be used or a smaller motor sheave could be used.

PUGMILLS
INTRODUCTION:
Pugmills are used to blend together one or more dry ingredients and/or liquid ingredients into a homogeneous mixture. They were originally developed to mix an aggregate with a liquid bituminous material for a cold mix asphalt. Today they are used for a number of applications including: cold mix asphalt; cement treated based; soil remediation; etc. The Kolberg design is a continuous mix pugmill. It includes two shafts with paddles on each shaft. The shafts are driven by one drive with a set of timing gears between the shafts. The paddles, arranged in a spiral pattern overlap, enhance the quality of the mix. Max. feed size to the pugmill is 2". The max. clearance between the paddle and the wall is 2". This can be adjusted to a min. of 3/4". The paddles can also be rotated to increase wear life, as well as increase retention time in the chamber. The pugmill also comes standard with replaceable wear liners, drop-out bottom for ease of clean-out and a dam gate. The pugmill is available in three sizes: Model 50-486 50-488 50-4810 Size 48" x 6' 48" x 8' 48" x 10' Motor 60 HP 75 HP 100 HP Number of Paddles 40 48 64

The most convenient way to utilize a pugmill is on a portable chassis. Kolberg offers three (3) different configurations of portable plants.

192

(Model 52S shown) Model 52 This plant features a 9 cu.yd. hopper with 36" belt feeder, 30" incline feed conveyor and 4' x 6' pugmill located at the end of the plant. It is all electric with an optional on-board genset. It comes on a portable chassis with standard travel features fifth wheel hitch, brakes, lights and mudflaps. A second 6 cu.yd. hopper is available as an option. Model 52S This plant is similar to the Model 52, but larger with more pugmill HP and higher capacity. It includes a 13 cu.yd. primary hopper with 36" belt feeder, 11 cu.yd. secondary hopper with 36" belt feeder, 36" wide incline feed conveyor and a 4' x 8' pugmill located at the end of the plant. This plant is all electric and comes on a portable chassis. Genset optional. Model 53 This plant is highly portable with an 8'6" wide travel width. It includes a 5 cu.yd. gravity hopper, 30" wide incline feed conveyor, 4' x 6' pugmill and a 30" x 25' discharge conveyor. This plant is all electric with an optional on-board genset.

RAILROAD BALLAST
Ballast is a relatively coarse aggregate which provides a stable load carrying base for trackage as well as quick drainage. Ballast normally would be crushed quarry or slag materials: free of clay, silt, etc. Two typical specifications follow to provide some idea as to general gradations:
Sieve Opening 3" (76.2 mm) 2 2" (63.5 mm) 2" (50.8 mm) 112" (38.1 mm) 1" (25.4 mm)
3 1 1

Example A Percent Passing 100 90 -100

Example B Percent Passing 100 96 -100

25 - 60

35 - 70 0 - 15

4" (19.0 mm) 2" (12.7 mm)

0 - 13 0- 5 0- 5

NOTE: The above are typical. However, there are many other ballast sizes dependent on job specifications. Note also that ballast is most usually purchased on a unit volume rather than tonnage basis.

RIPRAP
Riprap as used for facing dams, canals and waterways is normally a coarse, graded material. Typical general specifications would call for a minimum 160 lb./ft.3 stone, free of cracks and seams with no sand, clay, dirt, etc. A typical specification will probably give the percent passing by particle weight such as:
Percent Passing 100 50 - 70 30 - 50 0 - 15 15" Blanket 165 lbs. 50 lbs. 35 lbs. 10 lbs. 24" Blanket 670 lbs. 200 lbs. 135 lbs. 40 lbs.

GENERATOR SIZE TO POWER ELECTRIC MOTORS ON CRUSHING AND SCREENING PLANTS


The minimum generator size to power a group of motors should be selected on the basis of the following rules which allow all motors to operate simultaneously with complete freedom of starting sequence. A. GENERATOR KW0.8 x total electric name plate horsepower. B. GENERATOR KW2 x name plate horsepower of the largest electric motor with across-the-line starter. C. GENERATOR KW1.5 x name plate horsepower of the largest electric motor with reduced voltage starting (with 80 percent starting voltage). D. GENERATOR KW2.25 x name plate horsepower of the largest electric motor with part winding starting. For across-the-line starting, use the larger of the two values determined from A and B. For reduced voltage starting, use the larger of the two values determined from A and C. For part winding starting, use the larger of the two values determined from A and D. For combinations of the above starting types, use the largest value determined from A, B, C, and D as they apply.

GENERAL Measure overflow depth (h) at a distance back of weir at least four times h. Use a flat strip taped to the end of a carpenters level. Multiply figure from curve by length of weir. FLUME OR LAUNDER Use a bevel-edge steel plate or board with sharp edge upstream. L(Weir length) and D (depth of water behind weir) must each be at least three times h. Water or slurry must fall free of weir; i.e., with air space underneath. If possible, drill air holes in side of launder on downstream side of weir plate. Curve does not apply to triangular or notched weirs.

SPRAY NOZZLES FOR VIBRATING SCREENS


The introduction of water under pressure over the vibrating screens often greatly improves screening efficiency as well as aiding in the removal of deleterious materials on the individual aggregate particles. KOLBERG utilizes Type WF Flat Spray Nozzles over the screens to produce a uniform, flat spray pattern without hard edges at pressures of 5 psi and up. Tapered edges of the spray pattern permits pattern overlap with even distribution of the spray. The impact of spray is generally greater with narrower spray angles, assuming the same flow rate.

WATER VOLUME REQUIRED FOR WASHING AGGREGATES


The amount of water required for washing aggregates under average conditions is 3 to 5 GPM of water for each TPH of material fed to a washing screen. The finer the feed gradation, the more GPM of water required.

GETTING MAXIMUM WASHED PRODUCT FROM A VIBRATING SCREEN


Screen efficiency can be greatly increased by applying water directly to the feed box located ahead of the vibrating screen. Water volume applied must be sufficient to form a slurry in the feed box so that effective screening begins immediately when the wet product contacts the screen.

NOTE: (1/4" Thick and Heavier Are Called Plates.) To avoid errors specify decimal part of one inch or mention gauge number and the name of the gauge. Orders for a definite gauge weight or gauge thickness will be subject to standard gauge weight or gauge thickness tolerance, applying equally plus and minus form the ordered gauge weight or gauge thickness. U.S. Standard GaugeIron and steel sheets. Note: U.S. Standard Gauge was established by act of Congress in 1893, in which weights per square foot were indicated by gauge number. The weight, not thickness, is determining factor when the material is ordered to this gauge.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON CHAINS


The chain drive has three elements; the driver sprocket, the driven sprocket, and the endless chain which transmits power form the first to the second. The distance from center to center of adjacent chain pins is the chain pitch and also the sprocket pitch. Chain speed, f.p.m. = H.P. of drive = No. of teeth in sprocket x chain pitch (in.) x r.p.m. 12 Chain speed in f.p.m. x pull in pounds 33,000

Chain speed, except for high speed RC and silent chains, should not exceed 500 ft. per min. Working load should be held under 16 the ultimate strength for speeds up to 200 f.p.m., 1/10 where speed is between 200 and 300 f.p.m., and less if speed exceeds 300 f.p.m.

MISCELLANEOUS USEFUL INFORMATION


To find capacity in U.S. gallons of rectangular tanks multiply length by width by depth (all in inches) and divide result by 231. To find number of U.S. gallons in pipe or cylinder, divide cubic contents in inches by 231. Doubling the diameter of a pipe increases its capacity four times. To find pressure in pounds per square inch of column of water, multiply height of column in feet by .434; to find height of column of water when pressure in pounds per square inch is known, multiply pressure in pounds by 2.309 (2.309 Feet Water exerts pressure on one pound per square inch.)

Resulting mix reaches highest mechanical stability without binder. GranitesCrystalline, even-grained rocks consisting essentially of feldspar and quartz with smaller amounts of mica and other ferro-magnesian minerals. GravelGranular, pebbly material (usually coarser than 1/4" in diameter) resulting from natural disintegration of rock; usually found intermixed with fine sands and clay; can be identified as bank, river or pea gravel; rounded character of some imparted by stream action. GravityThe force that tends to pull bodies towards the center of mass, to give bodies weight. GritA coarse sand formed mostly of angular quartz grains. GumboSoil of finely divided clays of varying capillarity. HollowsDeficiencies in certain fractions of a pitrun gravel. IgneousNatural rock composed of solidified molten material. Lime RockNatural material essentially calcium carbonate with varying percentages of silica; hardens upon exposure to elements; some varieties provide excellent road material. LimestoneNatural rock of sedimentary origin composed principally of calcium carbonate or calcium and magnesium carbonates in either its original chemical or fragmental, or recrystallized form. LoamSoil which breaks up easily, usually consisting of sand, clay, and organic material. LoessAn unstratified deposit of yellow-brown loam. Manufactured SandNot natural occurring sand, -38" material made by crushing +38" material. MeshThe number of openings per lineal inch in wire screen.

Metamorphic RockPre-existing rock altered to such an extent as to be classed separately. One of the three basic rock formations, including igneous and sedimentary. MicronA unit of length; one thousandth of a millimeter. Mineral Dust or FillerVery finely divided mineral product, great bulk of which will pass No. 200 sieve. Pulverized limestone is most commonly manufactured filler; other stone dust, silica, hydrated lime and certain natural deposits of finely divided mineral matter are also used. MuckMoist or wet decaying vegetable matter or peat. Natural CementProduct obtained by finely pulverizing calcined argillaceous limestone, to which not to exceed 5 percent of nondeleterious materials may be added subsequent to calcination. Temperature of calcination shall be no higher than necessary to drive off carbonic acid gas. OreAny material containing valuable metallic matter which is mined or worked. OutcroppingA stratum of rock or other material which breaks surface of ground. OverburdenSoil mantle, waste, or similar matter found directly above deposit of rock or sand-gravel. Paving AggregateVary greatly as to grade, quality, type, and composition; general types suitable for bituminous construction can be classified as: Crushed Stone, Gravel, Sand, Slag, Shell, Mineral Dust. PebblesRock fragments of small or moderate size which have been more or less rounded by erosional processes. PitrunNatural gravel deposits; may contain some sand, clay or silt. Portland CementProduct obtained by pulverizing clinker consisting essentially of hydraulic calcium silicates to which no additions have been made subsequent to calcination other than water or untreated calcium sulfate, except that additions not to exceed 1 percent of other materials may be interground with clinker at option of manufacturer, provided such materials have been shown to be not harmful.

RiprapRiprap as used for facing dams, canals, and waterways is normally a coarse, grade material. Typical general specifications would call for a minimum 160 lb./ft3 (2563 kg/m3) stone, free of cracks and seams with no sand, clay, dirt, etc. SandStandard classification of soil or granular material passing the 38" (9.52mm) sieve and almost entirely passing the No. 4 (4.76mm) sieve and predominantly retained on the No. 200 (74 micron) sieve. Sand Clay (Road Surface)Surface of sand and clay mixture in which the two materials have been blended so their opposite qualities tend to maintain a condition of stability under varying moisture content. Sand, ManufacturedNot natural occurring sand, -38" material made by crushing +38" material. SandstoneEssentially rounded grains of quartz, with or without interstitial cementing materials, with the larger grains tending to be more perfectly rounded than the smaller ones.

ScreeningsBroken rock, including dust, or size that will pass through 1/2" to 3/4" screen, depending upon character of stone. SedimentaryRocks formed by the deposit of sediment. Settling RockAn enlargement to permit the settlement of debris carried in suspension, usually provided with means of ejecting the material collected. ShaleMaterial composed essentially of silica and alumina with a more or less thinly laminated structure imparted by natural stratification of extremely fine sediments together with pressure. Shell AggregateApplies to oyster, clam shells, etc., used for road surfacing material; shells are crushed to size but generally must be blended with other fine sands to produce specification gradation. SieveTest screens with square openings.

StoneAny natural rock deposit or formation of igneous. sedimentary and/or metamorphic origin, either in original or altered form. Stone-SandRefers to product (usually less than 1/2" in diameter) produced by crushing of rock; usually highly processed, should not be confused with screenings. StratumA sheet-like mass of sedimentary rock or earth of one kind, usually in layers between bed of other kinds. Sub-GradeNative foundation on which is placed road material or artificial foundation, in case latter is provided. Sub-SoilBed or earth immediately beneath surface soil. TailingsStones which, after going through crusher, do not pass through the largest openings on the screen. Top-Soil (Road Surface)A variety of surfacing used principally in southeastern states, being stripping of certain top-soils containing natural sand-clay mixture.
