Williams Crusher has extensive experience in heavy-duty equipment for the mining industry. These rugged machines are designed to increase production and break most bedded materials. Our machinery is trusted to handle the most challenging mining applications in the world.

For over 150 years, Williams Crusher has been a leading provider of custom-designed size reduction equipment. Our feeder breakers can reduce mined materials down to lengths of 6 inches or smaller, with capabilities up to 5,000 tph.

What Is A Feeder Breaker?

These machines are designed to reduce a variety of materials in the mining industry. They can be used to process anything from run-of-mine shale to frozen concentrates. Feeder breakers can be used to reduce various minerals, coal, and organic, rock-based materials.

A Feeder Breaker is typically used as an initial processor of mining material. Feeder breakers keeps production of mining materials flowing smoothly with the use of conveyer belt technology. By reducing bedded materials early, machine damage or blockage risk is minimized later in processing.

Feeder Breakers can also be used in continuous feeding and breaking of mine waste and other materials. This can minimize operating costs significantly for repairs or additional equipment.
