A roller mill crusher is a type of equipment used for crushing and grinding materials, commonly in mining, cement, and industrial processing. It combines the functions of both a roller mill and a crusher to efficiently reduce the size of raw materials (e.g., coal, limestone, ores) into smaller particles.

Key Features & Working Principle:
1. Roller Mechanism:
– Uses two or more cylindrical rollers that rotate in opposite directions.
– Material is fed between the rollers and crushed by compression and shear forces.
2. Adjustable Gap:
– The gap between rollers can be adjusted to control the output particle size.
3. High Efficiency & Low Energy Consumption:
– Roller mills are more energy-efficient than traditional crushers (e.g., jaw or impact crushers) because they apply gradual pressure rather than sudden impact.
4. Versatility:
– Can handle hard and abrasive materials as well as softer ones like coal or clay.
Types of Roller Mill Crushers:
– Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) – Used in cement and mineral grinding.
– Horizontal Roller Mill – Common in mining and aggregate industries.
– Double Roll Crusher – Specifically designed for crushing materials like coal, coke, and limestone.
Applications:
– Mining & Minerals: Crushing ores (gold, iron ore).
– Cement Industry: Grinding raw materials and clinker.
– Coal Processing: Reducing coal size for combustion or gasification.
– Agriculture: Grain milling and feed processing.
Advantages:
✔ Lower energy consumption than impact crushers.
✔ Produces uniform particle size with minimal fines.
✔ Can handle wet or sticky materials better than some crushers.
Disadvantages:
✖ Higher initial cost compared to simple crushers like jaw/impact types.
✖ Requires precise maintenance of roller alignment and wear surfaces.
