Estimate Jaw Crusher Capacity
If the feed is blasted rock from a quarry, the size and method of handling the feed influence crusher selection. For instance, a power shovel is limited by the dimensions of the dipper in the maximum size of rock it can handle well. It may be that the bucket of a 1½ yd shovel would be too small to load the maximum size rock allowed in a jaw crusher with a 42in. opening.
