Processing ceramics requires precision, durability, and control. Sturtevant’s industrial ceramic crushers are engineered to reduce hard, brittle, and abrasive materials without generating excess fines or dust. Whether you’re working with technical ceramics, tile scrap, or fired clay, our rotary crushers deliver consistent results in high-throughput environments.
Engineered for Ceramics
Our rotary crushers use a shear-based reduction method, ideal for ceramics that fracture under pressure rather than compress. The result is a uniform granular product with minimized material loss. This technique is great for recycling, reformulation, or downstream processing.
Built to Last
Designed with heavy-duty cast iron construction, Sturtevant crushers are built for long-term performance in abrasive environments. Optional Ni-Hard grinding components extend wear life when working with especially tough materials. Operators can adjust product fineness during operation, and wear areas are easily accessible for fast, tool-free maintenance.
Common Ceramic Applications
Sturtevant’s industrial ceramic crushers are used across a range of industries where ceramics play a critical role in production. These machines are ideal for processing fired ceramic tile, porcelain, and sanitaryware for recycling or rework, as well as for breaking down technical ceramics like alumina and zirconia used in electronics, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing. Operators rely on our crushers to handle everything from brittle insulators and refractory components to hard ceramic scrap generated during fabrication. Whether the goal is size reduction for reuse, material classification, or waste stream efficiency, our equipment provides the uniform output and rugged reliability required for demanding ceramic applications.
