COMMINUTION (ROLL CRUSHER)
LABORATORY REPORT

Objective:
To crush the ore sample in a Roll Crusher, evaluate the average product
size by sieving, determine the reduction ratio, determine the actual and
theoretical capacity and verify the Rittinger’s Law of Crushing.

Introduction: (Make some introduction of the activity, mention its importance or

significance in mineral processing including brief description on the procedure.
Minimum of 200 words)

Methodology: Describe here what you actually did in the laboratory- in

paragraph form and in past tense.
