Williams Crusher: Engineering Excellence in Size Reduction
For over a century, the name Williams Patent Crusher & Pulverizer Co., Inc. has been synonymous with robust, innovative, and reliable size reduction technology. Founded in 1886 by E.H. Williams in St. Louis, Missouri, the company pioneered the revolutionary concept of impact crushing – shattering materials rather than merely grinding them – fundamentally changing industrial processing.
The Core Strength: Impact Crushing Expertise
Williams built its legacy on the principle of impact crushing. Unlike traditional methods relying heavily on compression or abrasion, Williams crushers accelerate material into stationary breaker plates or curtains using massive rotor assemblies. This high-velocity impact causes materials to fracture along natural cleavage lines, resulting in:
Superior Cubical Product: Producing more desirable, uniformly shaped particles crucial for asphalt, concrete aggregate, and other applications.
High Reduction Ratios: Achieving significant size reduction in a single pass.
Versatility: Effectively handling a vast range of materials – from soft clays and coal to hard rock, limestone, glass, and electronics scrap.
Lower Fines Generation: Minimizing unwanted dust compared to some grinding methods.
Flagship Technologies & Applications
Williams offers a comprehensive portfolio of crushers and pulverizers designed for specific tasks:
1. Willpactor® (Primary Impact Crushers): Engineered for massive feed sizes and high tonnage primary reduction applications in quarry rock, concrete recycling, mining, and slag processing. Their rugged construction handles the toughest jobs.
2. Willpactor II® (Secondary Impact Crushers): Providing efficient secondary reduction after primary crushing or directly handling medium-sized feed for applications like asphalt recycling and industrial minerals.
3. Rigid Arm Breakers: Featuring rigid hammers ideal for reducing materials like wet, sticky clay or friable minerals where swing hammers might clog.
4. Roller Mills & Pulverizers: Including the renowned Roller Mill (for precise granular product sizing) and various Pulverizers designed for fine grinding down to sub-micron levels for chemicals, pigments, food products (like spices), and more.
5. Hog Mills (Wood & Bark Hogs): Powerful machines specifically designed for reducing wood waste, bark, pallets, and other fibrous materials efficiently.
Beyond Machinery: Custom Solutions & Support
Understanding that one size doesn’t fit all is key to Williams’ success. They excel at:
