Mining Rule of Thumb

Mining Field: Crushers and Rockbreakers
Area: Crusher Selection (Rule #484)

The product of a jaw crusher will have a size distribution such that the -80% fraction size (d80) is slightly less than the open-side setting of the crusher. For example, if the open-side setting is 6 inches, the d80 product size will be 5¾ inches.
