Bulk Solids, Mining, Aggregates & Material Processing worked example

Crusher Wear Cost at 110% share of wear cost allocated to this circuit: a worked example

This scenario runs the crusher wear cost calculation on the strong side: 110% share of wear cost allocated to this circuit, with every other input held at its documented default. a plant team is reviewing crusher wear cost for bulk solids, mining, aggregates, and material processing and needs a clear crusher wear cost for production, quality, capacity, maintenance, purchasing, or costing decisions

The inputs for this scenario

  • Tonnage crushed in period: 1,200 tons (unchanged)
  • Liner and wear-part cost per ton crushed: 2.75 $ / ton (unchanged)
  • Share of wear cost allocated to this circuit: 110 % (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 100)
  • Fixed reline labor and crane handling cost: 650 $ (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Allocated crusher wear cost = crusher wear cost material quantity × crusher wear cost cost per ton × allocation share) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4,280 $ for crusher wear cost, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3.57 $ / piece for crusher wear cost cost per ton.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3,630 $ for allocated crusher wear cost.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 650 $ for fixed crusher wear cost setup or handling cost.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where share of wear cost allocated to this circuit sits at 100% and the headline result is 3,950 $, this scenario comes in 8.35% above the baseline at 4,280 $.
  • Use it when budgeting a crushing campaign, comparing liner alloys or suppliers, or building a cost-per-ton figure for a quote or capital-justification. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Crusher Wear Cost: 4,280 $ (headline result)
  • Crusher Wear Cost cost per ton: 3.57 $ / piece
  • Allocated crusher wear cost: 3,630 $
  • Fixed crusher wear cost setup or handling cost: 650 $
