As a relative newcomer to this industry (six years) I am not really surprised by the lack of consistency in nomenclature. In agriculture where I grew up, a farmer in Kansas had a different name than a farmer in Saskatchewan for the identical part, machine or feature.

Just for fun I thought I’d start a conversation about nomenclature in this industry, trying to identify the various names everything is called. The value of this exercise will be the potential time savings people see from developing a unofficial crushing and screening naming guide that I will keep current.

Here goes, the grouped by what I feel are the most common names, hopefully this can be a resource for all of us in this business.
