Hammer vs. Roller Crusher
How they work:
Hammer crusher: High-speed rotating hammers deliver intense impact to shatter materials instantly.
Roller crusher: Two counter-rotating rollers apply gradual squeezing pressure to crush materials evenly.
Best for:
Hammer: Brittle/soft materials (coal, limestone, gypsum) – handles medium-fine crushing needs.
Roller: Hard/sticky materials (ore, gravel, clinker) – avoids clogging with viscous substances.
Output:
Hammer: Irregular-shaped particles with more fine dust; ideal for final crushing stages.
Roller: Uniform cubical grains with minimal fines; perfect for aggregate or construction-grade materials.
Upkeep:
Hammer: Higher maintenance – hammer heads wear quickly from impact, requiring regular replacement.
Roller: Lower upkeep – durable roller surfaces resist wear, even with hard materials.
Pro Tip
Hammer = Fast, fine crushing for brittle, non-sticky materials.
Roller = Stable, low-maintenance crushing for hard/sticky loads needing consistent particle size.
