The most important characteristics of a primary crusher are the capacity and the ability to accept raw material without blockages. A large primary crusher is more expensive to purchase than a smaller machine. For this reason, investment cost calculations for primary crushers are weighed against the costs of blasting raw material …

An impact crusher is rarely used with hard rock materials due to wearing. Commonly, an encapsulated sieve is adopted together with every crushing unit apart from the primary crusher. ... 2018), transportation, quarry (Tian et al., 2019), and blasting sites (GMD et al., 2018; Eb et al., 2020; Silvester et al., 2009) of open pit mines ...

Blasting also results in large amounts of dust generation – and is one of the hardest operations to manage. The blasted rock is fed into crusher bin. Bigger rocks are also fragmented with a hydraulic impact hammer before crushing. Drilling and blasting cause dust emissions as does crushing, sieving, and conveying.

Primary crushing is the first stage of crushing that takes place at the mine or quarry. The primary crusher is the equipment that reduces the size of the materials to the size that can be processed by the secondary crusher. The primary crusher receives the materials directly from the mine or quarry, and its size reduction ratio ranges from 3:1 ...

In many cases, the crusher design offers a means of access to alter the boulder position or enable other remedies to be tried (Pit and Quarry, 1977). Boulder blasting in this type of crusher can cause damage to the impactor shaft or bearings. Rock Boulders. A boulder, in common mining usage, is any rock larger than the desired size.
