INTRODUCTION
• Crushing and grinding are fundamental
processes used in a vast array of
industries, from food and pharmaceuticals
to construction and mining.

• These seemingly simple techniques involve

the reduction of particle size, but their
applications are far-reaching and often
essential.

Why Crush and Grind
Increased surface area
Smaller particles have a larger surface area compared to their volume.
This is crucial for processes like mixing, absorption, and chemical
reactions. For example, grinding spices releases their flavors more
effectively.

Improved handling and processing

Smaller particles are easier to transport, store, and process in various
equipment. Imagine trying to bake a cake with whole wheat berries instead
of flour!

Enhanced material properties

Crushing and grinding can change the physical and chemical properties of
materials. For instance, grinding limestone makes it suitable for cement
production.
