Bulk Solids, Mining, Aggregates & Material Processing worked example

Crusher Wear Cost at 72% share of wear cost allocated to this circuit: a worked example

Here is what the math looks like when conditions slip. We hold every other input steady and drop share of wear cost allocated to this circuit to 72%, then walk the calculation through step by step. Estimate crusher wear cost for crusher wear cost for bulk solids, mining, aggregates, and material processing using plant-floor material, production, quality, capacity, or cost inputs.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Tonnage crushed in period: 1,200 tons (held at the documented default)
  • Liner and wear-part cost per ton crushed: 2.75 $ / ton (held at the documented default)
  • Share of wear cost allocated to this circuit: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 100)
  • Fixed reline labor and crane handling cost: 650 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Allocated crusher wear cost = crusher wear cost material quantity × crusher wear cost cost per ton × allocation share.
  • Crusher Wear Cost works out to 3,026 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Crusher Wear Cost cost per ton works out to 2.52 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Allocated crusher wear cost works out to 2,376 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed crusher wear cost setup or handling cost works out to 650 $ at these inputs.

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 23.39% below the baseline at 3,026 $.
  • The practical read: the gap between this scenario and the baseline is entirely attributable to share of wear cost allocated to this circuit, so recovering it is worth quantifying in dollars before considering equipment or staffing changes. It assumes a linear $/ton wear rate, but real wear accelerates as feed hardness, abrasiveness (Bond abrasion index), and moisture change, so blend-specific data beats a single average.
