The reduction ratio for grinders is defined as (where, Df and Dp are average diameters of feed and product respectively) ?

Correct answer: A. Df/Dp

  • A. Df/Dp
  • B. Dp/Df
  • C. Df - Dp
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Reduction ratio measures how many times the average particle size is reduced, so it is the feed diameter divided by the product diameter, Df/Dp. Since grinding makes Dp smaller than Df, this ratio is greater than one.
