Applications & Solutions

Figures, data & facts for reference

Our comminution solutions are used wherever materials need to be reliably crushed and samples prepared reproducibly – from harsh, continuous operation in mining to precise analysis in the laboratory. Whether hard ores and rocks, aggregates from quarries, recycled materials such as concrete and asphalt, or a wide variety of samples for research and quality assurance: the applications are diverse and designed for efficient, controlled processes.

Our shredding systems are also used in many industries where reliable results are crucial: in Geology and Mineralogy (e.g. rocks, ores, minerals, drill cores), at Building material testing (concrete, cement clinker, asphalt, ceramics), in the metallurgy (slags, ferroalloys, metal oxides), in the Environmental analysis (soil and waste samples) as well as in Research and Development – for example at universities or in laboratories that study materials such as glass or coal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly processed materials include rocks, ores, minerals, drill cores, concrete, cement clinker, ceramics, slag, and soil samples. Crucial factors are material hardness, moisture content, structure, and any potential impurities.

Because only uniform, standardized comminution yields comparable measurement results. Different particle sizes or unevenly crushed samples can distort analyses – especially in quality control and elemental analysis.

Through processing, valuable materials can be returned to the cycle. With concrete, it is particularly helpful that reinforcing steel can be cleanly separated – this creates more readily usable fractions for reuse as a building material.

In mining, the focus is on high throughput, robust pre-crushing, and continuous operation. In the laboratory, precision, defined final particle sizes, reproducibility, and easy cleaning between different samples are paramount.

The selection depends on the material (hardness, abrasiveness, moisture content), the desired final particle size, the sample volume or throughput, and the process objective (pre-grinding, quality control, analysis preparation). Ideally, this is determined based on a trial grinding or material test.
