Size reduction equipment is divided into

crushers, grinders,

ultrafine grinders, and cutting machines.

Crushers do the heavy work of breaking large pieces of solid material into
small lumps. A primary crusher operates on run-of -mine material accepting
anything that comes from mine face and breaking it into 150 to 250 mm
lumps. A secondary crusher reduces these lumps into particles perhaps 6mm
in size.
Grinders reduce crushed feed to powder. The product from an intermediate
grinder might pass a 40-mesh screen; most of the product from a fine grinder
would pass a 200-mesh screen with a 74mm opening.
An ultrafine grinder accepts feed particles no larger than 6mm and the
product size is typically 1 to 5mm.
Cutters give particles of definite size and shape, 2 to 10mm in length.

The principal types of size-reduction machines are as follows:


A. Crushers (coarse and fine)
1. Jaw crushers
2. Gyratory crushers
3. Crushing rolls
B. Grinders (intermediate and fine)
1.
2.
3.
4.

Hammer mills; impactors


Rolling-compression mills
Attrition mills
Tumbling mills

C. Ultrafine grinders
1. Hammer mills with internal classification
2. Fluid-energy mills
3. Agitated mills
D. Cutting machines
1. Knife cutters; dicers; slitters

Mechanism of ultrafine grinding


During ultrafine grinding, particle breakage occurs by familiar mechanisms: impact
or attrition by shear or a combination of these.
