Anyone used this crusher on ceramic CPUs?
Is it effective?

I would not use that crusher on ceramic CPU:s, there is no need to make powder out of the ceramic. It will probably just lead to losses and problem to get the gold out.

Goran is quite right :!:

Per the underlined --- running ceramic CPUs through that mill will not only break the CPUs up - it will pulverize at least some - if not a lot of the ceramic to a "fine" powder

That fine powder will create a "filtering nightmare"

The "fine" ceramic powder will act much like clay plugging a filter to the point of near imposable - if not imposable to filter your solution which has your gold dissolved in it --- meaning you will loose "much" of the gold you are trying to recover
