Product introduction
Hammer crushers use rotating hammers to impact brittle material. Compact arrangements may suit straightforward duties where feed condition and wear behavior are understood.
Simple Crushing for Brittle Materials
Small Hammer Crusher: Compact PC Model Selection
For selected brittle materials such as limestone and coal, compare Zhongji catalog PC models by maximum feed, required output and hourly duty. The catalog figures support an initial shortlist; actual material, moisture and wear conditions still determine whether hammer crushing is appropriate.
Before comparing models
- Material
- Is the material suitable for hammer crushing?
- Maximum feed
- What is the largest feed size?
- Product size
- What output size is required?
- Hourly capacity
- What throughput is needed?
Model / technical reference
Compare three compact PC hammer crusher references.
The catalog steps from PC400×300 to PC600×400 and PC800×600 as feed allowance, throughput and motor power increase. Check material suitability before choosing a size.
| PC model | Rotor Ø × length | Feed | Output | Capacity | Power | Dimensions L × W × H | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PC400×300 | 400 × 300 mm | <80 mm | <10 mm | 5–8 t/h | 11 kW | 812 × 982 × 785 mm | 0.7 t |
| PC600×400 | 600 × 400 mm | <100 mm | <15 mm | 10–15 t/h | 30 kW | 1200 × 1114 × 1114 mm | 1.5 t |
| PC800×600 | 800 × 600 mm | <120 mm | <15 mm | 20–25 t/h | 55 kW | 2620 × 1864 × 1340 mm | 3.7 t |

For an initial check, send the material, maximum feed, required product size, hourly capacity, moisture, abrasiveness, operating hours, site voltage and installation constraints. Wet, sticky or highly abrasive feed may require a different crushing route. For the full hammer crusher family, see the main Hammer Crusher page.
Product introduction and applications
Applications
Limestone, coal and selected soft-to-medium-hard brittle materials. Wet sticky, very hard or highly abrasive materials need another selection review.
Working principle
Material enters the crushing chamber and is impacted by rotating hammers, then reduced against internal surfaces before leaving through the discharge area.
Practical Advantages
Simple structure and operation, within the correct material range.
Simple structure
A straightforward mechanical arrangement can support practical local maintenance.
Easy operation
Operating procedures remain manageable after guards, feeding and maintenance rules are confirmed.
Brittle material focus
Useful for selected limestone, coal and similar duties rather than every hard rock application.
Wear-part planning
Hammers and liners can be discussed with the confirmed model and material duty.
Distributor support
Current photos, documents and spare-part discussions can support qualified local dealers.
Buyer notes
Spare parts
Typical discussions include hammers, liners, grate-related parts where applicable, bearings and belts. Exact parts require model confirmation.
Before quotation
Send material name and photos, feed size, output size, capacity, moisture condition, country and voltage.
Important boundary
Do not choose a hammer crusher only because its structure is simple. Hardness, abrasiveness and moisture can change the correct direction.

FAQ
Common buyer questions.
What materials can it process?
Limestone, coal and selected soft-to-medium-hard brittle materials may be suitable after hardness, moisture and abrasiveness are reviewed.
Is it suitable for every stone?
No. Very hard, highly abrasive or wet sticky materials may require another crusher direction.
Can spare hammers and liners be supplied?
Yes, after the exact machine model and drawing version are confirmed.
What should a distributor send?
Local target material, common customer capacity, voltage, requested product size and expected support scope.
Discuss the correct compact configuration.
Prepare the data for model selection.
Send material, maximum feed size, required product size, capacity, country and site voltage.
