Crushing

Crushing is the first stage of fragmentation. This task is carried out in two or three stages (primary, secondary and tertiary crushing), predominantly in dry sorting.

Industrial crushers reduce the materials from very large pieces or blocks of up to around 10mm. They operate on different principles according to the characteristics of the material (mechanical resistance, abrasiveness, moisture content): by compression/crushing (jaw, gyratory, conical or roll crushers) or by shock/percussion (impact or hammer crusher).
