## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for mining and aggregate processing. It allows AI agents to determine the most suitable crusher type--such as jaw, gyratory, cone, or impact--based on material hardness and abrasiveness. Beyond selection, it calculates physical dimensions, estimates electrical power demand, and predicts maintenance needs due to material wear using tools like `select_crusher_type`, `calculate_crusher_dimensions`, `estimate_power_demand`, and `calculate_wear_impact`.

## Tools

### estimate_power_demand
Calculates the energy required to operate the crusher

### calculate_crusher_dimensions
Estimates the physical size and capacity of the selected crusher

### calculate_wear_impact
Predicts the impact of material abrasiveness on equipment maintenance and efficiency

### select_crusher_type
Determines the most suitable category of crusher based on material hardness, abrasiveness, and required reduction ratio

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What type of crusher should I use for hard, abrasive material with a 500mm feed size?
```

**Response:** 
```
For hard and abrasive material with a 500mm feed size, a Jaw crusher is the most suitable primary crushing option.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the power needed for a cone crusher processing 200 tons per hour of hard material with a 4:1 reduction ratio.
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated power requirement for this cone crusher operation is 350 KW, with a peak load of 410 KW.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the dimensions for a jaw crusher with a throughput of 150 tons per hour and 400mm feed size?
```

**Response:** 
```
The jaw crusher will have an opening width of 850mm, a crushing gap of 120mm, and an estimated weight of 12,500 kg.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I choose between a jaw and a gyratory crusher?**
You can use the `select_crusher_type` tool. It evaluates material hardness, abrasiveness, and feed size to recommend the best primary crusher for your operation.

**Can I estimate the electricity needed for my equipment?**
Yes, the `estimate_power_demand` tool calculates the required power in KW based on the crusher type, throughput, and material hardness.

**How does material abrasiveness affect my maintenance?**
The `calculate_wear_impact` tool predicts the wear life estimate and maintenance frequency by analyzing the material's abrasiveness and the throughput rate.
