Method for fragmenting and/or pre-weakening material by means of high-voltage discharges

The invention relates to a method for fragmenting material (1) by means of high-voltage discharges (6). The material (1) to be fragmented is guided through a process zone (5) formed between two electrodes (3, 4), whereas high-voltage discharges (6) are generated between said electrodes (3, 4) for fr...

More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a method for fragmenting material (1) by means of high-voltage discharges (6). The material (1) to be fragmented is guided through a process zone (5) formed between two electrodes (3, 4), whereas high-voltage discharges (6) are generated between said electrodes (3, 4) for fragmenting the material (1). The high-voltage discharges (6) are triggered subject to a continuously determined process parameter, which represents the situation with respect to the material (1) located in the process zone (5). In this way, the process can be guided such that high-voltage discharges (6) are only triggered if there is a situation in the process zone (5), in which a specified fragmentation work can be performed. In this way, the energy efficiency of the process can be considerably improved, and an excessive fragmentation of the material (1) can be prevented.
