Abstract
Rocks go through a series of crushing stages to produce the final aggregate size which suit customer’s needs. Aggregate crushers suffer from many problems in reality that affect its production processes badly and may lead to its stoppage. These problems could be unchangeable feed rate, hidden steel part between rocks and wastage from storing final aggregate stockpile on the ground. The purpose of this research is to develop an automated control system for Jaw crusher production process as a solution for the real specified problems to get more productive aggregate production. First a 3D model which mimic exactly the real crushing plant was built to test the proposed system. Then a C++ code was programmed to control the proposed system components such as motor, sensors and LCD screens. Thereafter, the aggregate flow simulation program (AggFlow) is utilized to simulate the proposed system results. Cost analysis calculations were performed to explore the impact of proposed system on the production process cost and time. Finally, the results confirmed that the proposed system enhance and increase the crusher production process. As it shows increase in the crusher automatic control, the net profit and the feed rate while decrease in the final product waste.
