Soft Start in the Quarry Industry

• Cone Crushers
• Jaw Crushers
• Grinders
• Hammer Mills
• Conveyors
• Ball Mills
• Pumps
• Fans
• Compressors

Typical settings for the Soft Start can be found by clicking here. Starting currents are typical and depend on motor & load characteristics. The figures also assume No load start. A typical cone crusher will require less current started under No load than with rocks in.

Softstart Direct are able to provide specific calculations on starting currents based on particular motor/load combinations. Please see our calculations page for more details.
