Every project must have at least one crusher, which represents the commercial output of material from site.
To add crushers:
Go to Haul Infinity > Network tab:
Find or create a crusher called "Crushers/CR1".
Go to the Setup tab > Crushers step:
Press the green plus icon to add a crusher.
Rename the crusher to "CR1".
Select a processing stream from the dropdown, such as wet plant/dry plant.
In the Availability Types to Specify column toggle availability types to add to the calendar, such as "Planned/Unplanned Availability", "Use of Availability" and "Operating Efficiency".
Select a capacity field from the dropdown, such as "wetTonnes".
Crushers must be represented by a node in Haul Infinity. The node name must follow the convention Crushers/myCrusherName.
Crusher Streams
Sometimes one real world crusher must be represented by multiple crushers in ATS, since each "Crusher" may only produce one product type.
Example
A mine has two crusher bin locations. Each crusher bin feeds both wet and dry plants. The site produces a Standard and a Special sale product.
We add a crusher to represent every stream of material, and a constraint to limit the totals through each gate.
Crushers:
CR1_wet_standard
CR1_dry_standard
CR1_wet_special
CR1_dry_special
CR2_wet_standard
CR2_dry_standard
CR2_wet_special
CR2_dry_special
Constraints:
CR1 crusher feed limit, across all CR1 streams
CR2 crusher feed limit, across all CR2 streams
Standard product tonnes limit, across all Standard streams
Special product tonnes limit, across all Special streams
Wet plant throughput tonnes limit, across all Wet streams
In the Calendar, we leave each Crusher unrestricted in capacity, and control the feed to each bin via the Constraints.
