STRUCTURAL REVIEW AND ASSESSMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL AND DESIGN PARAMETERS OF CRUSHING EQUIPMENT FOR THE CONSTRUCTION INDUS-TRY

Due to the growth in the volume of mineral extraction and the increasing demand for the processing of con-struction waste, reducing energy consumption has become one of the key areas of research in the field of machines for the production of building materials. Solving the problem of determining energy consumption is a difficult task, since these costs depend on numerous variable factors that vary during the operation of the machine and are difficult to accurately predict. The development and creation of energy-efficient crushing machines is one of the areas of improving the technologies for the production of building materials. The work considers the designs of common crushing machines for the production of building materials and their fea-tures. A criterion-based assessment was performed on the main generalized parameters of the mechanical mode, on the basis of which the most promising models were established and recommendations were given regarding the area of further research.
