Abstract
A feeder breaker includes a frame, a first crusher coupled to the frame and configured to receive material, a second crusher coupled to the frame, a conveyor extending between the first crusher and the second crusher configured to convey material exiting the first crusher to the second crusher, and an output conveyor configured to receive the material exiting the second crusher. The feeder breaker is also configured to allow at least a portion of material exiting the first crusher that is below a predetermined size threshold to move to the output conveyor without passing through the second crusher.
