Problem with those edges is the lack of munchy crunchy potential. Makes good money for us belt repairs at timesIf that piece of tyre was mixed with the rock in the highwall then a wheel loader or shovel could have easily dug it up and loaded on the back of a truck. Flexible eough to find its way through the primary crusher (I assume it's a gyratory.?) and probably was never spotted until it hit those hoops over the belt on the way to the coarse ore bin.
Many years ago on night shift I was called to the primary crusher to recover a piece of the bucket cutting edge from a 992 wheel loader with 3 teeth still attached to it. Crushers don't like that...
