What causes crushing plant downtime?
Liner/jaw wear (scheduled), tramp metal (unscheduled), screen blinding, conveyor spillage, motor failures and feeder blockages. Predictive maintenance and online monitoring reduce unplanned downtime significantly.
What is a good crushing plant utilisation rate?
Well-operated crushing plants achieve 75–85% utilisation. Below 65% indicates operational inefficiency or design issues. World-class operations target 90%+ with automated monitoring.
How do I reduce crushing cost per tonne?
Maximise throughput (close to design), schedule maintenance in off-shifts, use wear-resistant liners for longer replacement intervals, feed consistent particle size to avoid oversize, and optimise screen aperture.
