Crusher Layout

Planning Your Layout

• Planning your crusher layout is very critical to the entire planning process.
• While crusher layout in series reduces the capital costs, it severely reduces the overall availability of the plant.
• While Modular/ Parallel layout increases the capital cost and also increases the Variable costs a bit; the overall costs come down as the Plant availability increases many times.

Example:

• A 3 stage Plant with a availability percentage of- 75%
• In Series layout has an overall availability of- 42%
• In Parallel overall availability is- 98%
