Mineral breaker
(57) A mineral breaker (10) including a pair of rotatable drums (14) each having radially
projecting breaker teeth (16), the teeth on both drums being arranged in axially spaced
groups (18) of circumferentially spaced teeth, the groups of teeth on one drum being
axially offset from the groups of teeth on the other drum so that teeth in one group
on one drum pass between neighbouring groups of teeth on the other drum, and a breaker
bar (30) assembly located beneath the pair of drums and arranged to co-operate with
the teeth on the drums so as to break oversized lumps of mineral passing between the
drums, the breaker bar assembly including an elongate support member which extends
longitudinally of the drums and on which a first and second series of laterally projecting
breaker teeth are supported, the breaker teeth in each of said series of teeth being
spaced from one another longitudinally of the support member to enable the groups
of breaker teeth on a respective one of the drums to sweep therebetween.
