Grinder
The ratio of the diameters of the largest and
smallest particles in a comminuted product is on the
order of 104
Because of this extreme variation in the sizes of the
individual particles, relationships adequate for
uniform sizes must be modified when applied to
such mixture
Unless they are smoothed by abrasion after
crushing, comminuted particles resemble
polyhedrons with nearly plane faces and sharp
edges corners
The particles may be compact with length, breadth
and thickness nearly equal; or they may be plate
like or needlelike

Cutting machine
Crusher
Do the heavy work of breaking large pieces of
solid material into small pieces
A slow speed machines for coarse reduction of
large quantities of solids
Primary crusher- breaking solids into 150-
250mm size
Secondary crusher- reduced the particle from
primary crusher to 6mm in size
Reduce the solid size by compression
Type of crusher- jaw crusher, gyratory crusher,
smooth-roll crusher and toothed-roll crusher
Grinder
Reduce crushed feed to powder
Product from a crusher is often fed to a grinder
for further reduction.
The product from an intermediate grinder might
pass a 40-mesh screen.
Most product from a fine grinder would pass a
200- mesh screen with 74 m opening.
Reduce the solid size by impact and attrition,
sometimes combine with compression
Types of commercial grinder hammer mills
and impactors, rolling compression machine,
attrition mills and tumbling mills.
Ultrafine Grinder
Reduce solids to fine particles
Accepts feed particles not larger than 6 mm.
The product size is typically 1 to 50 m.
Reduce the solid size by attrition
Types: Classifying hammer mills, fluid energy
mills, agitated mills and colloid mills.
Cutting machine
Give particles of definite size and shape 2-
10mm in length
Reduce the size by cutting, dicing and slitting
Type:
-Granulators- yield more or less irregular
pieces
-Cutters produce cube, thin squares or
diamonds.
Exercise 1
What is the power required to crush 100 ton/h
of limestone if 80% of the feed passes a 2-in.
screen and 80% of the product a 1/8-in.

Solution 1
From Table 28.2,the work index for limestone is
12.74.Other quantities for substitution into
