The best thing is to contact the jaw crusher manufacturers with the information on the application. Try Metso and FL Smidth.

Remove the balls from the ball mill and install rods instead. Rod milling makes significantly less fines and can function down to 100 µm as long as the reduction ratio is not too great.

The difference between the two slot sizes for each panel is the open area per square foot. You could use the open area as part of the description of the panels.
