Mining can create significant noise and/or vibration through blasting in both open pit and underground mines; ore and waste rock truck traffic on the mine site; ore stockpiling, screening, and crushing; and truck or rail traffic bring consumables to the mine site and shipping product from the mine for final processing.

Since crushing is an important step of the ore concentration process, the selection and sizing of crushers should be given sufficient consideration during the mine design process. The objective of this article is to outline the factors that determine the selection and sizing of crushers for underground mining operations.

For example, a 48 by 60 crusher will have a capacity in the order of 600 tph when crushing ore in a hard rock mine.

Source: Dejan Polak For most applications, 7:1 is the maximum practical ...

Jaw crushers are the most common solution in underground applications when the throughput is below 1000 tonnes per hour, depending somewhat on the scalping solutions. Above 1000 tph, primary gyratory crushers are an option. After the throughput reaches 2000 tph, jaw crushers are very rare, with the exception of a parallel plant layout.

6. Put safety first . Safety starts with the plant design. When the majority of service procedures can be carried out from the ground level or from proper service and access platforms, climbing ...

McLanahan Mineral Sizers are designed to process a variety of materials, including copper, iron ore, gold, nickel, lithium/spodumene, coal, potash, phosphate and other hard rock and soft, non-coal minerals. They can be used in primary or secondary crushing applications. They excel at handling feeds with clays and other contaminants that are ...

Lead-bearing ore is mined from underground or open pit mines. After extraction, the ore is processed by crushing, screening and milling. Domestic lead mine production for 1991 totaled 480,000 megagrams (530,000 tons) of lead in ore concentrates, a decrease of some 15,000 megagrams (16,500 tons) from 1990 production.

Unless this is done, crushing becomes a constant source of trouble resulting in lost production and high milling cost. In some areas rainfall is high for prolonged periods. This seriously affects ore handling …

The purpose of the primary crusher is to reduce the ROM ore to a size amenable for feeding the secondary crusher or the SAG mill grinding circuit. The ratio of reduction through a primary crusher can be up to about 8:1. …
