Running Head: Agg Flow Simulation
Running Head: Agg Flow Simulation
Introduction
(Pinnazi, 2015)Once the value of a comminution plant can represent the economic
viability of the overall plant, the simulation must be done in the best way possible to get a
preview of the efficiency of the mine and the equipment that will be used. In this laboratory we
used the program Agg Flow to develop an comminution processing plant using grizzly, sieves,
cone and jaw crushers. To analyze the best way several equipment was tested and simulations
were computer by the program which give as the final product 3 streams of a predefined size.
Primary Crusher.
(Pinnazi, 2015), a grizzly was placed right after the load point to cut the material of 5
inches, the overflow was placed in the jaw crusher while the underflow met the product of the
jaw crusher to run to the secondary crusher (figure 2).
Secondary Crushing.
The product of the primary crusher plus the underflow of the initial grizzly generated a
material (Mohanty, 2014)
The simulation was successfully completed with these two task (figure 5).

Symons 7ft SH/F, had an reduction ratio of 17.7:1 and the second cone crusher placed in the
closed circuit of the secondary crushing, Nordberg Symons 4 ft SH/F, had an reduction ratio
of 12.3:1. The three pillars of product had a stream between 20% and 40% of our feed stream
(table 1), as desired.

Conclusion.
The simulation can be considered satisfactory once the reduction ratio of the equipment
had a value acceptable as seen by the final design. Giving the initial conditions of the material
and the desired streams was possible to simulate a comminution process plant by the AggFlow
