Feeding a crusher needs a different approach.You can’t feed your small rock crusher like you would feed a dump truck
(1)The smaller the rock crusher the smaller the shovel
Small rock crushers are best fed with a excavator.Using a front-end loader is only recommended for rock crushers with a bigger feed hopper and small consistent feed material such as sand&gravel,shot rock,and asphalt millings.
For instance,a RM 90GO! Compact Crusher features a 34”wide x 25”high inlst opening and is best fed with an excavator that has a 36”wide or 40”wide bucket.If the bucket is much wider than the inlet opening you risk throwing in pieces that are too big.A narrower bucket limits the top size material that goes in and enables you to reach into the hopper to realign material if needed.
(2)Feed in the Rear and Let the Feeder Drag Out the Material
Consistency is the aim of the game and slow and steady will win the race.If you dump material right in front of the inlet entire load comes to crusher at one time and your pre-screen-in case your small rock crusher has one-is losing ite effectiveness.The feeder will drag out the material over its entire length.Many small rock crushers feature one or two steps where the material tumbles down which improves the pre-screen effectiveness and drag out the material.
（3）Regardless of Crusher Size,Material Prep is Key
No matter if you operate a small rock crusher,or a massive aggregate system you will plug your crusher.The only thing that changes,is the size of the piece that gets stuck.While is is true that bigger rock crushers take bigger pieces this typically doesn’t necessary translate into doubling or tripling the ideal feed size.
There is a difference between the inlet opening of a crusher,the reulting theoretical maximum feed size,and the ideal feed size.The biggest problem is when 2 large stones come together and bridge up causing a blockage at the inlet.Without material prep it is one big gamble until this happens.The ideal feed size reflects the restraints of your small rock crusher and the mix of materials in your shovel.
Preparing and downsizing the material to the ideal feed size for your small rock crusher is critical to achieve a high production and low operating costs.
“Your small rock crusher is the most likely your mose expensive piece of equipment and you want to run it as efficiently as possible and as short as possible.”
