  • Publication number: 20230285982
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the layer height of a feed material, which is supplied to a crushing and/or screening plant of a material processing device, wherein a conveyor device is used to convey the feed material in a conveying direction, wherein a sensor array comprising a plurality of sensors is used to determine the layer height of the feed material. A reliable method that can be performed with little effort and without impairing the operation of the material processing device is achieved by the longitudinal axes of the detection volumes of the sensors extending at least partially in and/or counter to the conveying direction.

  • Publication number: 20230285981
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling and/or regulating the feed of material to be processed, in particular rock material, to a crushing and/or screening plant of a material processing device, wherein a conveyor device is used to guide the material to be processed to the crushing and/or screening plant, wherein a characteristic of the material to be processed is determined, and/or wherein a volume flow of the material to be processed is determined, and wherein a conveying speed of the conveyor device is controlled and/or regulated taking into account the characteristic and/or the volume flow of the material to be processed. The invention also relates to a material processing device designed to perform such a method.

  • Publication number: 20230010394
    Abstract: A rock processing machine is disclosed for crushing and/or grain size-dependent sorting of pourable rock material. The rock processing machine comprises a rock processing device having a crushing crusher device and a sorting screen, at least one camera system in whose field of view in the operation of the machine a surface of the pourable rock material is located, and a data processing device configured to process image data of the camera system via an artificial neural network. The data processing device is configured to ascertain at least one image area portion in image data recorded and transmitted by the camera system as an image object and to classify the ascertained image object by using the artificial neural network with respect to at least one object property from among a group of object properties comprising: object shapes; object sizes; object types; and/or object materials.

  • Publication number: 20210138477
    Abstract: The invention relates to a jaw crusher having a stationary crusher jaw (21) and having a movable crusher jaw (22), between which a crushing chamber (23) and a crushing gap (24) are formed, wherein the movable crusher jaw (22) can be driven by a crusher drive (30) to generate a crushing motion, wherein an overload protection mechanism is assigned to one of the crusher jaws (21,22), preferably to the movable crusher jaw (22), wherein the overload protection mechanism comprises a control unit (60), which, in the event of an overload, causes the crusher jaws (21,22) to move relative to one another in such a way that the crushing gap (24) is enlarged.
