Mineral Crushing Machines

Mineral crushing is done just like any other milling and crushing. There are four types of crushers commonly used for different types of materials and particle size after the mineral blocks have been reduced by the jaw crushers.

Jaw Crusher - It is used for primary crushing. It breaks the mineral blocks to the processable size.

Roll Crushing - They have two or three rollers between which the material is crushed.

Cone Crushing - It has a rotating spindle and a head between the material is crushed

Ball Mill - It grinds material by rotating a cylinder with steel grinding balls, causing the balls to fall back into the cylinder and onto the material to be ground.

Rod Mill - Rod mills are similar to ball mills but use long rods instead of balls. The tumbling of rods grinds the material.

Hammer Mill - They have fixed or swinging hammers to crush the material by the hammer impact.
