7 Purpose: Determine the size of a primary crusher (in this case jaw) using the Bond
8 work index equation and vendor volumetric throughputs.

11 Basis / Assumptions:
12 Primary crushers can be either volumetrically or by power draw. Design to both

46 Method, volumetric flow:
47
48 The typical throughput values given on crusher brochures relate
49 to a “typical” ore bulk density of 1.60 t/m³. The crushers are
50 actually volume (not weight) flow limited, so convert the desired tonnage
51 to what it would be with the “typical” ore bulk density (for reading the charts).
52
53 Desired instantaneous throughput 471 m³/h
54 Equivalent “typical” mass throughput, use for charts 753 t/h
55
56 Method, consult vendor data:

Consult the chart on the next page. Find a crusher that satisfies all of the
58 following conditions:
