Use this Crusher Symbols Legend CAD reference when preparing P&IDs, process flowsheets, and equipment layouts for crushing and bulk-material systems. The sheet groups general and crusher-specific symbols in a convenient CAD resource for drafting, review, and symbol-library coordination.
It is especially useful for teams documenting mineral processing, aggregate, cement, and other industrial systems where equipment symbols must remain clear and consistent across drawings.
This Crusher Symbols Legend CAD sheet is a clear reference for P&ID and process plant drawings. It provides commonly used symbols for crushing equipment, helping you keep mineral processing and industrial flowsheets consistent, readable, and standardized.
The legend typically includes symbols for:
-
General crusher symbol
-
Coarse crusher, medium crushers, and fine crushers
-
Jaw crusher
-
Cone crusher
-
Impact crusher
-
Hammer crusher (multiple symbol styles shown)
-
Roller crusher
-
“Various crushers” symbol for general use cases
-
Additional equipment icon shown on the sheet (e.g., vibration crusher)
Use this CAD legend for:
-
Mining and mineral processing P&IDs / flowsheets
-
Cement, aggregate, and bulk material handling systems
-
Standard symbol libraries for drafting teams
-
Faster drafting + QA checks for equipment symbol consistency
How to use the crusher symbol legend
Begin by identifying the equipment duty shown on the process drawing, then select the closest symbol from the legend. The sheet includes general crusher symbols as well as symbols for coarse, medium, and fine crushing categories. It also distinguishes common equipment types such as jaw, cone, impact, hammer, and roller crushers.
When the process information is more general, the “various crushers” symbol can help represent an unspecified crushing operation. The sheet also shows an additional equipment icon, such as a vibration crusher, for cases where that symbol is appropriate to the drawing.
P&ID and flowsheet drafting guidance
A crusher symbol communicates the presence and general identity of process equipment; it does not by itself define equipment capacity, operating conditions, or detailed mechanical construction. Keep those design requirements in the associated equipment documentation and project engineering basis.
- Use one consistent symbol style throughout a drawing set.
- Match the symbol to the equipment name and process description used in the project documentation.
- Check that the symbol remains legible at the intended drawing scale.
- Coordinate equipment symbols with conveyors, feeders, screens, pumps, valves, and instrumentation shown elsewhere on the flowsheet.
- Use drafting QA checks to identify inconsistent or ambiguous crusher symbols before issue.
CAD resource for drafting teams
The downloadable DWG can support a shared symbol library for mining, mineral processing, cement, aggregate, and bulk-material handling drawings. Before incorporating it into a controlled project library, compare the symbols with the project’s drafting convention and any client-specific requirements.
For broader drawing coordination, pair this resource with internal references covering P&ID symbols, process equipment symbols, piping terminology, and CAD/DWG drafting practices.
Crusher symbol legend FAQ
What does this CAD legend contain?
It contains a general crusher symbol, crushing-category symbols, and equipment-specific symbols for jaw, cone, impact, hammer, and roller crushers. It also includes a general “various crushers” symbol and an additional equipment icon shown on the sheet.
Can the legend be used for P&IDs and flowsheets?
Yes. The source sheet is intended as a reference for P&IDs and process plant drawings, including mineral processing and industrial flowsheets.
What is the difference between the crusher symbols shown?
The symbols identify different crusher types or general crushing categories. The correct choice should match the equipment description and level of detail required by the project drawing.
Does the symbol define crusher performance?
No. A drawing symbol is a visual identification tool. Performance requirements, operating data, equipment selection, and detailed design must come from the applicable project documentation and engineering review.
How should a drafting team use the DWG file?
Use the DWG as a starting point for a controlled CAD symbol library, then confirm that its appearance and naming conventions agree with the project or client drafting requirements.
