The process of comminution is the crushing and grinding of a material / ore to reduce it to smaller or finer particles. The comminution process reduces particle sizes by breaking, crushing, or grinding of ore, rock, coal, or other materials. The process is most often used in the field of mining and / or mineral processing, where mineral ore is broken down into …

Primary crushers are designed so that the maximum size that can be presented to the crusher is approximately 80% of the gape. Jaw crushers are operated to produce a size reduction ratio between 4 :1 and 9 : 1. Gyratory crushers can produce size reduction ratios over a somewhat larger range of 3 :1 to 10 :1.
