Primary crushers are typically designed to handle large-sized rocks or ore. The specific size of the stones that can be handled depends on the type of primary crusher. For instance:
Jaw Crushers: These can typically handle stones with a size ranging from 1 meter (3.3 feet) in diameter down to a few inches. They are often used for the initial reduction of large rocks.
Gyratory Crushers: These can handle even larger materials compared to jaw crushers. They can crush stones up to 1.5 meters (5 feet) in diameter.
Impact Crushers (for softer materials): These can process somewhat smaller stones compared to jaw and gyratory crushers, but are effective on materials that are not as hard.
So, overall, primary crushers can handle stone sizes anywhere from a few inches to upwards of 1.5 meters (5 feet), depending on the specific type and application.
