Size reduction equipment selection guide

Preliminary Guide for Selecting Size Reduction Equipment... 

The selection guides given by Lowrison (1974) and Marshall (1974), which are reproduced in Tables 10.12 (see p. 465) and 10.13, can be used to make a preliminary selection based on particle size and material hardness. Descriptions of most of the equipment listed in these tables are given in Volume 2, Chapter 2 or can be found in the literature Perry et al. (1997), Hioms (1970), Lowrison (1974). The most commonly used equipment for coarse size reduction are jaw crushers and rotary crushers and for grinding, ball mills or their variants pebble, roll and tube mills.
