JK Rotary Breakage Test
The new JK Rotary Breakage Test® is now commercially available, and offers industry a rapid method for determining accurate and reliable impact breakage characterisation data for plant design and optimisation.
In an AG/SAG mill there are two main mechanisms of breakage, namely impact (high energy) and abrasion (low energy). The industry accepted JK impact breakage parameters, A and b, can now reliably be determined using the new generation high throughput JK Rotary Breakage Tester® (JKRBT®).
The JK Rotary Breakage Test provides these breakage parameters for use in the JKSimMet Mineral Processing Simulator software to analyse and predict AG/SAG mill performance. The same test procedure also provides ore type characterisation parameters for the JKSimMet crusher model.
Sample Requirements:
1. The typical minimum quantity of sample required to provide sufficient particles for testing is 100 kg of crushed rock in the -53+12.5 mm size range, or 100 kg of drill core. JKTech can prepare a sample to the specified size range from a larger amount if required. For diamond drill core samples, the core must be un-split and have a diameter of at least 50 mm. Slightly more ore material is preferred if Bond rod mill and/or ball mill work index testing is also required.
2. Download the Sample Transmission Forms, which include Sample Hazard Advice Form and Quarantine Declaration Forms. A completed Sample Hazard Advice Form must accompany or arrive in advance of every sample shipped to JKTech. In addition, a Quarantine Declaration must be completed for every sample originating from outside Australia.
Key Benefits:
- Rapid generation of reliable impact breakage data
- Exceptional repeatability of test results
- Breakage characterisation across a wide range of particle sizes
- SAG mill and crusher modelling parameters
