In a crushing system, an interlocked operation of operation units
including a grizzly feeder, a crusher and a delivery conveyor and so on
is stopped by depressing an interlock OFF switch (94). For this, after
stopping the grizzly feeder, a stop command section (122B) outputs a stop
command to the crusher and the delivery conveyor only when a load
detector (110) once detects the load on the delivery conveyor and a
determining section (122A) determines that the load is cleared out and
there is no remaining crushed material. Thus, if compared with
conventional crushing systems adapted to stop the operation units only
after the elapse of a predetermined time period, the crushing system can
reliably prevent the crushed material from remaining on the delivery
conveyor so that it is no longer necessary to worry about a situation
where the crushed material remaining on the delivery conveyor has to be
removed.
