Key Insight: "Once implemented, the client was able to more effectively reduce recirculating loads therefore increase production rates without bottlenecking the crushing circuit. The solution also reduced the amount of time the control room operator had to spend taking care of the crushers operation. The operator was then able to concentrate in other tasks related to the other parts of the plant." Our Goal: A client’s crushing circuit was controlled solely in manual mode. The operator had the responsibility to control each crusher’s belt feeder in manual to maintain crusher’s power under a certain set point range. As a result of a manually controlled crusher circuit and a lack of chocked feeding conditions the crushed recirculating load was high and the crusher’s mantle oft
