I. INTRODUCTION
Its a crushing plant designed to reduce large rocks into
smaller rocks, gravel, or rock dust. The other operations
performed in this plant are to reduce the size, or change the
form, of waste materials so they can be more easily disposed
of or recycled, or to reduce the size of a solid mix of raw
materials (as in rock ore), so that pieces of different
composition can be differentiated.
Crusher industry is an important industrial sector in the
country. Over the last 10 years, the Construction sector has
been registering strong growth rates in the range of 7-8%.
Housing and construction is one of the major drivers of
growth in many allied industries including stone crushing. A
crusher may be utilized to break up objects such as rocks.
Crushers of this type are often used in scientific research, as
they make it possible to crush a larger rock sample into
smaller pieces and thus examine the content of the rock in
more detail. Crushers are machines which use a metal surface

Thus from the flow chart of the process flow of the stone
crushing, the production line mainly consists of
1. Hopper
2. Vibrating Feeder
3. Conveyor Belt
4. Crushers
5. Vibrating Screens.
III.COMPONENTS OF CRUSHING PLANT
Hopper:
A storage container used in industries and is provided with
additional width and depth for temporary storage of raw
materials, for dust collection, etc.
Vibrating feeder:
Vibrating Feeders provide the most efficient and economical
method of conveying bulk materials and, most importantly its
the simplest and easiest means of controlling the rate of flow
or feed.
Belt conveyor:
A belt conveyor (or conveyor belt) consists of two or
more pulleys, with a continuous loop of material - the
conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the
pulleys are powered, moving the belt and the material on the
belt forward.
Vibrating screen:
Vibrating screen is a kind of sieving equipment used to
separate materials into multiple grades by particle sizes as end
product and for further processing.
Crusher:
Crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into
smaller rocks, gravel, or rock dust. Crushers may be used to
reduce the size, or change the form, of waste materials so they
can be more easily disposed of or recycled, or to reduce the
size of a solid mix of raw materials (as in rock ore), so that
pieces of different composition can be differentiated.
Types of crushers:
1. Jaw crusher
2. Gyratory crusher
3. Cone crusher
4. Impact crusher
5. Horizontal shaft impact crusher
6. Vertical shaft impact crusher
IV.METHODS OF VIBRATION
The vibration of a vibrating feeder is produced by unbalanced
motors are 3 types:
1. Rotational vibration
2. Elliptical vibration
3. Linear vibration
Working principle:
The oscillations of a vibrating feeder are produced by
unbalanced motors mounted on the extended shaft of the two
motors. Motors are placed along a line symmetrically and
right angle to the frame. The resultant forces of the two
ISSN: 2231-5381
motors are along the line. Hence the line is called as drive line.
The motors rotate at the same speed but in opposite direction.
At any instant of 360 rotation, there are forces generated
individually on the motors along the drive line and right angle
to it. The forces at right angle cancel out each other and the
resultant force is along the drive line.
The two unbalanced motors which are placed along the main
body and which drives the feeder is called an unbalance drive.
The unbalanced drive is used to:
(a) Create linear oscillations to the vibrating feeder,
(b) The amplitude of the oscillations can be altered by
displacing, adding or removing the additional weights.

V. CAPACITY CALCULATIONS
Capacity requirements determine the feeder-pan dimensions
and slope. The volumetric capacity of a feeder may be
determined by the formula:
AxV=Q
Q = Cu. Fpm
A = Projected horizontal area
V = Average velocity of material through opening.
The projected horizontal area is a function of the projected
horizontal opening and feeder-pan width. The average
material velocity will vary with material flow characteristics,
coefficient of friction, feeder pan slope, length, and vibration
intensity. Material velocities will range from 30 to 60 fpm
with pan slopes from 0 to 20 deg. Feeder-pan trough length is
determined by material angle of repose and pan slope. The
feeder pan must be of sufficient length to assure complete
material shutoff when the feeder is at rest. A line drawn from
the maximum opening at the material angle of repose should
intersect the pan trough, leaving a margin of cutoff length to
allow for variations in material characteristics.
Feeder Size Selection:
Selection capacities shown in the table are guides for selecting
the feeder size. Feed rates may vary widely with material
characteristics such as density, particle size distribution,
moisture content and angle of repose. Maximum feed rates are

obtained by declining feeder pan consistent with hopper
opening and feeder length. Minimum length of feeder may be
determined by hopper opening, feeder slope and angle of
repose. Select feeder with adequate length to prevent flushing.
Hopper opening required to minimize hopper bridging effect
may determine width and length of feeder. In some cases,
headroom or minimum tunnel depth consideration justify a
size selection larger than required for volumetric flow.

VI.PARTS OF VIBRATING FEEDER
The parts of vibrating feeder parts can be majorly divided as:
(a) Main Body
(b) Drive Frame Assembly
(c) Vibrating Deck and Bar Assembly
(d) Bottom Deck Assembly
(e) Wire-mesh Assembly
(f) Liners
(g) Springs
(h) Spring Holder
Body:
Body is a construction with many plates of different lengths,
widths and different structures. The construction is to support
different major assemblies of the feeder, for holding the
structure.
Drive Frame:
Drive Frame is constructed with plates and the construction is
made to hold the Vibratory motors. Vibratory motors are held
onto the frame through bolts and nuts.

(d) Acceleration (Nr of G Force)
(e) Angle of Line of force
(f) Isolation system
In the process of making a vibrating machine, few
considerations have to be made. They are as follows:
Type of vibration, speed, amplitude/acceleration, angle of
force of vibrating machines depends on.
(a) Type of process
(b) Type of products
(c) Capacity required
Isolation system of vibrating machines depends on:
(a) Type of vibration and speed

Thus the vibratory motor is selected in trail-III i.e 10/15000S90, which has a static moment of 12662 kg-mm, 10.6 KW
power and a weight of 643 kg.
XI CHECKING THE ACCELERATION OF THE
MACHINE
Known information:
a = Acceleration (Nr of Gs)
Mt = Total Static Moment (Static Moment of Vibrator x Nr of
vibrator) (kg*mm)
Fv = Centrifugal Force of Vibrator = 14155 kg
Wt = Ws + Wv = 5000 + (643x2) = 6286 kg
Ft = Fvx2
= 15155 x 2 = 28310 kg-mm
a = Ft / Wt
= 28310 / 6286
= 4.50
=4.50 x 99.28 %
= 4.4 G
Therefore the acceleration of the total machine is 4.4.
