Instrumentation and modeling of high-pressure roller crusher for silicon carbide production

This paper describes the modeling, simulation, and the instrumentation of a high-pressure roller crusher (HPRC) for the production of silicon carbide grains. The study is to make a model and then simulate a high-pressure roller crusher. An HPRC is an important part in the production of silicon carbide, where the grains are crushed into powder form and then sieved into specified sizes based on their usage. The selection of sensors for the HPRC is also considered in this study. This paper presents a model based on Johanson's theory for roller compactors by considering the delay process. The simulation result is done using Matlab tools and Simulink to verify the approach proposed in the paper. Conclusions are drawn at the end of the paper.
