As per Taggart's formula, the capacity (kg/hr) of Jaw & Gyratory crushers (for gapes of 10 to 60 cms) is equal to (where, L = Length of feed opening, cms S = Maximum width of discharge opening, cms) ?

Correct answer: B. 93 LS

  • A. LS
  • B. 93 LS
  • C. 250 LS
  • D. √(LS)

Explanation

Taggart’s empirical relation for the stated jaw and gyratory crusher range uses the product of feed-opening length and discharge width, with the coefficient 93 when capacity is expressed in kg/hr. Thus the capacity is 93LS.
