New cone crusher technology and developments in comminution circuits

Abstract Crushing plants in mines have usually been conservatively designed. Aggregates producers, however, - processing a low-value material and forced to meet more stringent product requirements - have adopted more advanced technology in the hunt for cost savings. The mining industry is following suit. The paper focuses on three areas of technical development- machine design, plant flowsheet and control figuration- and indicates how a mine can benefit from the interaction of these areas in a modern comminution plant.
