The 2006 edition of Pennsylvania Crusher’s Handbook of Crushing is now available on CD-ROM.

This fully illustrated, 42-page manual provides an overview of mechanical reduction methods, a checklist of crusher selection criteria, and an application analysis guide to the job specifications needed for crusher selection and sizing.

The Handbook features a glossary of terms and discusses crushing technology. It outlines how to measure crushing resistance and measure relative abrasiveness. A chart of abrasiveness indices lists over fifty minerals along with their numerical value and their site of origin. Yet another chart provides the physical characteristics of numerous materials and minerals, coded according to abrasiveness, flowability and special characteristics. The Handbook also gives definitions of material characteristics, crusher power requirements, information on closed circuit crushing and crusher hammer technology.
