Magotteaux is trying to establish if it’s worth spending time, energy and money in developing a new type of crusher for intermediate and/or fine crushing stages (feed 150 mm and lower). “As a first step, we seek opinion leaders’ input about the shortcomings of the current circuits (if any), the spec for the ‘ideal crusher’, and the industry’s openness to change from current to new,” explains Christophe Philippe of Magotteaux International . “Later, if it matches the requirements, we’ll present the crusher concept we have in mind to discuss it further in details with you.”
