Comminution
Crushing Equipment
Crushing reduces run-of-mine ore to a top size that screening, grinding or separation can accept. It is the first comminution stage and sets the throughput and work index for the entire plant.
Equipment in this category
The page helps a plant designer or procurement lead evaluate machine types for the duty. The choice depends on ore characteristics, target product size and circuit configuration.
Jaw and gyratory crushers accept the largest run-of-mine rock. Cone crushers deliver a controlled product for grinding. Impact and hammer crushers handle softer, less abrasive feed. Roll crushers and HPGRs use interparticle breakage for finer product. Each type occupies a different position in the flowsheet.

Names marked cat. follow the equipment handbook rather than the product catalogue naming.
What decides the selection
Start with maximum feed size and ore hardness to narrow machine types. Lab-scale crushability and abrasion tests confirm breakage behaviour and liner consumption. Required throughput and closed-side setting then fix the model size. Pilot or process simulation resolves open-circuit versus closed-circuit performance. Only a written flowsheet confirmation from the manufacturer locks the duty point.
- Maximum run-of-mine feed size
- Ore hardness and abrasiveness
- Moisture and clay content
- Target closed-side setting
- Required throughput per hour
- Open-circuit or closed-circuit configuration
- Wear part life and maintenance access
Catalogue figures are standard-model data. Actual capacity shifts with ore properties and feed gradation. Final selection must rest on testwork, flowsheet calculation and a written confirmation from the manufacturer.
