Abstract

This paper presents performance tests of a manganese nodule crusher. Manganese nodules should be crushed into smaller pieces in order to assure the slurry flow of lifting system. Both artificial nodules and real manganese nodules are used to evaluate nodule breaking ability of the crusher. Crushing performance of the crusher depends on the flowrate and pressure of the power transmission device, and the size of crushed manganese nodules also depends on the shape of the crushing drum. In this paper, several comparative tests are carried out to improve the crushing performance and find the optimal design of the crusher.o evaluate nodule breaking ability of the crusher. Crushing performance of the crusher depends on the flowrate and pressure of the power transmission device, and the size of crushed manganese nodules also depends on the shape of the crushing drum.
