Measuring characteristics of aggregate material from vertical shaft impact crushers
Natural gravel has traditionally been the main choice of material for Swedish concrete manufacturers. However, due to the fact that natural gravel also acts as a fresh water filter, the deposits are limited. The obvious question is how to compare machine made and natural gravel in terms of particle shape, rheology and other material characteristics. This paper will present some methods and results that demonstrate performance of different machine made rock materials. Particle shape characteristics were assessed from flow measurements in a standard cone. The vertical shaft impact crusher (VSI) produces gravel that is a good alternative to natural gravel. The quality of the material and the particle shape seem to meet concrete producers' demands.
