Equipment Sizing: Crusher or Grinding Mill 911 Metallurgist
By referring to equipment manufacturer's bulletin on crushers, Fig. 1, a crusher producing 80% passing 3/4″ requires a close side setting of approximately 5/8″. Since the selected crusher capacity must be in excess of 143 tons per hour, the next higher figure (159) is chosen. The 159 indicates a 548 crusher size with 1″ eccentric throw.
