The design is based on the standard design procedure. In the present work by using the standard design procedure, diameter of rotor shaft of hammer mill crusher has been designed. The design should be safe when the values obtained from the present design procedure were compared with the values and results obtained from the analysis using Ansys package. When the shaft is rotated at rated speed (rpm) and the loads applied to the shaft it should not bend during rotation. When the shaft is rotated under free conditions, deflections will be created due to the critical speed of the shaft. To compare this deflection shaft was designed such that the natural frequency and speed is under limits. In this project the shaft and rotor assembly of hammer mill crusher was modeled using Pro-e modeling package and the FEM model of the shaft was developed using Ansys package. Meshing of the shaft model was done and the loads, stresses that were applied for the shaft to be checked out that the design should be safe one. I. INTRODUCTION by being crushed into 1/4 inch or smaller size coal. Coal enters from the top and is violently A crusher is a machine designed to thrown against the breaker blocks by the reduce large solid material objects into a smaller hammers. The final crushing is done between the volume, or smaller pieces. Crushers may be used hammer faces and the screen bars. Then the to reduce the size, or change the form, of waste crushed coal goes to the conveyors below and is materials so they can be more easily disposed of carried to the storage bunker. Tramp iron or or recycled, or to reduce the size of a solid mix material that will not go out between the screen of raw materials (as in rock ore), so that pieces of bars is dropped into the iron pocket and is later different composition can be differentiated. removed. The final crushing is done between the Crushing is the process of transferring a force hammer faces and the screen bars. Then the amplified by mechanical advantage through a crushed coal goes to the conveyors below and is material made of molecules that bond together carried to the storage bunker. Tramp iron or more strongly, and resist deformation more, than material that will not go out between the screen those in the material being crushed do.
