Screening Setup on Impact Crusher for Optimal Sizing Setting a screen on the output of an impact crusher is a practical way to ensure that the final product meets specific size requirements. By adding a screening system, the crushed material can be sorted, separating out oversized pieces that may need recirculation back to the crusher for further size reduction. The most common choice is a vibrating screen, which can be multi-decked to create multiple size fractions simultaneously. It helps control particle size distribution and improves product consistency. Recirculating oversized material ensures efficient utilization of the c [...]

Test Results Summary for Pine Sawdust Pellets (6mm) Moisture ADB % (As Dried Basis) – 6.89%This shows the moisture content of the sample after being air dried. It indicates that 6.89% of the sample’s weight is moisture. Low moisture content is desirable for higher energy content during combustion. Ash ADB % (As Dried Basis) – 1.85%This represents the amount of ash left after burning the sample (with some moisture). Ash is the non-combustible residue, and a lower percentage is better, as it means less waste after burning. Ash DB % (Dry Basis) – 1.99%This is the ash content when all moisture is removed [...]

ARB (As Received Basis) and ADB (Air Dried Basis) are both common bases used for measuring the Gross Calorific Value (GCV) of coal or biomass, but they differ in how the moisture content is considered. Here is the key difference between the two: 1. ARB (As Received Basis) Definition: ARB refers to the analysis done on a sample as it is received, with its natural or original moisture content intact. It includes the total moisture that is present when the sample is collected. GCV on ARB: The GCV measured on an ARB basis takes into account all of the moisture and other components [...]
