Mechanical Operations
As per Taggart's formula, the capacity (kg/hr) of Jaw & Gyratory crushers (for gapes of 10 to 60 cms) is equal to (where, L = Length of feed opening, cms S = Maximum width of discharge opening, cms )
States that the work required to form particle of any size from very large feed is proportional to the square root of the volume to surface ratio of the product
States that the work required for the crushing is proportional to the new surface created
Is less realistic in estimating the power requirements of commercial crushers
Calls for relatively less energy for the smaller product particles, than does the Rittinger law
