1. A method for controlling a crusher having a crushing tool and a vibratory conveyor having a drive, said method comprising:
capturing bulk material in a capturing region using a sensor;
determining a largest diameter dmax and a direction thereof of a grain of the bulk material;
determining an effective diameter deff from the largest diameter dmax and the direction thereof that is transverse to a conveying direction of the grain of the bulk material as a controlled variable in the capturing region; and
increasing power of the crushing tool when the effective diameter deff exceeds a predetermined power threshold value or switching off the drive when the effective diameter deff exceeds a predetermined shutdown threshold value.
