    Crushers

    • Crushing  breaking of run of mine lump ore into small pieces in 2-3 stages
    • Primary crushing  lump ore (~1.5 m) to 10-20 cm
    • secondary crushing product  3.7 - 5.0 cm
    • Tertiary crushing product  0.5 - 2 cm
    • Opening at the crusher discharge determines product size
    • Reduction ratio is the ratio of feed size to product size

    PRIMARY CRUSHERS
    • Heavy-duty machines
    • Used for ROM ore size reduction for transport and for feeding the secondary crushers or AG/SAG mills
    • Jaw and gyratory crushers
    Jaw Crushers

    Major components

    1. Motor
    2. Belt drive
    3. Flywheel
    4. Eccentric shaft
    5. Moving/swing jaw plate
    6. Fixed jaw plate
    7. Cheek plate
    • Blake crusher  Fixed receiving area and variable
    discharge opening.
    • Dodge crusher  Variable feed area and fixed delivery
    area. Restricted to laboratory use.
    • Universal crusher  Variable delivery and feed area.
    Jaw-crusher types

    • Jaw crushers are rated by the distance between the jaws at the feed opening (gape), and width
    of the plates.
    • For example, a 1,220 X 1,830 mm crusher has a gape of 1,220 mm and a width of 1,830 mm.
    • Arrested or free crushing  discharge rate > feed rate. Crushing by jaws only. Less
    generation of fines
    • Choked crushing  discharge rate < feed rate. Crushing jaws and inter-particle comminution.
    High amount of fines generation.
    Gyratory Crusher

    • Mainly used in surface crushing plants.


    • Can be regarded as large number of jaw crushers of infinitely
    small width.
    • Capacity 2.5 – 3 times of jaw crusher due to full cycle operation.
    • Identified by gape x mantle diameter at discharge
    Crusher Capacity

    Jaw Crusher

    Gyratory Crusher
    Sl. Jaw Crusher Gyratory Crusher
    1 Operates on half cycle. Operates on full cycle.
    2 Favours arrested crushing. Choked crushing Can be operated satisfactorily with the head buried
    results in excessive fines production. in feed. Choked crushing is encouraged.
    3 Performs better on clayey plastic material. Particularly suitable for hard abrasive material.
    4 Lower capital & maintenance costs Higher capital & maintenance costs
    5 Higher installation cost. Lower installation cost.
    6 Foundation needs to be rugged to Comparatively less rugged foundation is required.
    overcome the working stress.
    7 Used where crusher gape is more Used where high capacity is required.
    important than capacity.

    8 A jaw crusher can be sectionalised. Better>self-feeding capability of gyratory crusher


    Therefore, it is advantageous to install jaw results in capital cost saving in some cases, with the
    crusher in remote locations, underground. elimination of expensive feeding devices, such as
    heavy duty chain feeder.
