The effect of feed rate on the particle size distribution of crushing products was investigated by fractal dimension. The particle size distribution was calculated based on the cumulative particle weight to particle size ratio. An evaluation has been made between laboratory results and the fractal model by the root mean square error (RMSE) method. A comparison between fractal geometry and Rosin-Rammler methods has been made for the particle size distribution description. The comminution of the ore was performed by three-jaw, cone, and roll crushers. Each of the crushers was fed with rates of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 4.5 kilograms per minute. The fractal dimension of the particle size distribution for jaw, cone, and roll crushers was (from 2.18 to 2.32), (from 2.12 to 2.27), and (from 2.30 to 2.43), respectively. The smallness of the fractal dimension of the particles crushed by the cone crusher is due to the uniformity of product particles. The bigness of fractal dimension of the materials crushed by roll crusher is due to the limited range of particle sizes. The limited range of particle sizes causes the uniformity of product weight distribution. A 2 mm opening sieve was selected as a target sieve, from which the weight percentage of the passing particles to the post-crushing stage was calculated. The results show that by increasing the feed rate, the amount of material passing from the target sieve is decreased. The RMSE, in the fractal model, for jaw, cone, and roll crushers were obtained (between 7.87 and 9.31), (between 3.50 and 4.17), and (between 0.83 and 2.62), respectively. The RMSE results, in the Rosin-Rammler method, for jaw, cone, and roll crushers were obtained (between 7.87 and 9.31), (between 3.50 and 4.17), and (between 0.83 and 2.62), respectively. Based on the results, for the particle size distribution description, the fractal geometry is a quantitative and more suitable manner than the Rosin-Rammler method.
