What type of crusher is best for crushing raw coal

Raw coal refers to coal produced from coal mines that has not undergone washing, screening, or processing, but has only been manually sorted to remove gangue and debris. It has high ash content and gangue content. Burning raw coal directly not only results in low utilisation efficiency but also causes environmental pollution. Therefore, most choose to crush it before applying it to various industrial fields. What type of crusher is best for crushing raw coal? What is the price?

Raw coal is coal extracted from underground mines that has only had visible gangue removed and has not undergone any further processing. It is classified into peat, lignite, bituminous coal, and anthracite based on its carbonisation degree. When delivered, it typically comes in large chunks mixed with stones, iron pieces, and other harmful impurities. Jaw crushers, hammer crushers, and double-roll crushers are more suitable options, with the specific choice depending on actual requirements.

1. Jaw Crusher  

Production Capacity: 1–1,200 t/h  

Feed Size: ≤1,200 mm

Product size: 10-350 mm  

Suitable for large pieces of raw coal, typically used for coarse crushing and medium-fine crushing. It employs compression crushing technology, optimised motion parameters, a deep crushing chamber design with no dead zones, enhancing material throughput efficiency. The wedge-type discharge opening adjustment allows flexible control of product particle size, ensuring uniform output particle size. Additionally, the equipped flywheel aids in vibration reduction, enabling smoother machine operation. The integrated construction of the motor base and main unit simplifies installation procedures, saves floor space, and improves site utilisation efficiency.

2. Hammer Crusher

Production capacity: 3-3000 t/h

Feed size: ≤1000 mm

Final product size: 3-60 mm

Available in small and large sizes, it adopts a modular design. By replacing the chamber type and converting it, it achieves one-step crushing and forming, simplifying the process flow and reducing floor space. It features a screenless design, enabling it to crush wet coal. Additionally, the self-flow design leaves gaps on the adjustable impact plates in the forming zone, allowing materials smaller than the gaps to flow out naturally, avoiding re-crushing. This enhances production capacity while reducing powder generation and improving the quality of the finished product.

3. Double-roll crusher  

Capacity: 3–110 t/h  

Feed size: ≤30 mm

Finished particle size: 2-10 mm

This equipment is used to crush raw coal, which can then be processed directly after iron removal and impurity removal without the need for gangue removal, simplifying the coal preparation process. It adopts a roller design, using two counter-rotating rollers to crush the material, achieving a high crushing ratio, uniform particle size, and low over-crushing rate. The drive system is powered by two electric motors, providing stronger kinetic energy and reducing production costs.

Currently, the price range for raw coal crushers on the market varies significantly. Costs differ based on equipment type and model, and brand is also an important factor influencing price. Additionally, factors such as energy consumption, maintenance costs, production efficiency, and after-sales service should be comprehensively considered to select equipment with high cost-effectiveness that meets specific production requirements.
