Crushing Plant Design and Layout Considerations Ken Boyd, Manager, Material Handling, AMEC Mining Metals , Vancouver, BC ABSTRACT In mining operations, the layout of crushing plants and ancillary equipment and structures is a crucial factor in meeting production requirements while keeping capital and operational costs to a minimum. This paper addresses the critical design parameters as well as the consideration of ore characteristics, geographical location, climatic conditions, expected operational life, expansion potential, safety, environment, and operability and maintainability. INTRODUCTION The fundamental goal for the design of a crushing plant is an installation that meets the required production requirements, operates at competitive cost, complies with today’s tough environmental regulations, and can be built at a reasonable price despite the rising costs of equipment, energy and construction labor. The following industry trends must be taken into account: • Equipment suppliers are offering ever-larger primary crushers, with 1,800 mm (72 in) gyratories expected soon, as well as secondary and tertiary machines of up to 3,000 mm (120 in). • Rising energy costs are causing owners to increase the integration of mine and mill design, so that they can identify ways of reducing overall electrical power consumption. • Electronic control of crusher discharge opening and feed rate. With adjustment of a crusher’s discharge opening, as the production continues through an on-line coarse size analysis of the crushed product (digital image analyses).
