A key first step in optimizing crushing and screening efficiency is making sure that everything is level.
A level plant helps ensure that the material is evenly distributed on the belts and that the flow of feed material to each step of the process is optimized. It also promotes more even and consistent wear of parts and wear surfaces thus reducing downtime and maintenance costs. (Watch the Video Below)

The answer is pretty un dramatic... an adequate crushing and screening record keeping system. That's right; an adequate record keeping system that tracks production is the foundation of all your attempts to become more productive and for a number of reasons.
