Single disc or double disc: which coal crusher do you need?
A 5 No. coal crusher (coal disintegrator) reduces coal lumps to fine particles below 2 mm, the size needed for
charging coke ovens and firing boilers. Mild steel hammers mounted on a rotating disc strike the coal until it
is fine enough to leave the machine. The single disc body is 12 mm fabricated steel and the double disc 16 mm, both with manganese
steel top and side liner plates, and both have replaceable hammers.
The difference is capacity. The Single Disc crusher has one disc with 6 hammers, takes lumps up to
150 mm and crushes 8 to 12 tons per hour with an 80–120 HP motor. The Double Disc crusher has two
discs with 12 hammers, takes lumps up to 200 mm and crushes 20 to 25 tons per hour with a 150–180 HP motor. Choose
the single disc for moderate throughput and a smaller motor, and the double disc for large coke oven batteries, bigger
boilers and briquetting plants.
