crushers, grinders,
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.
