The JK Drop Weight Tester is the authorised specialist equipment required to conduct the JK Drop Weight Test.  This test provides ore specific parameters which are used in the JKSimMet Mineral Processing Simulator software to analyse and/or predict AG/SAG mill performance.  The same test procedure also provides ore type characterisation for the JKSimMet crusher model.

The JK Drop Weight Tester comprises a steel drop weight which is raised by a winch to a known height.  A pneumatic switch releases the drop weight which falls under gravity and impacts the rock particle which is placed on a steel anvil.

The device is enclosed in perspex and incorporates a variety of features to ensure operator safety.  By varying the height from which the drop weight is released and the mass of the drop weight, a very wide range of energy inputs can be generated.
