t stresses, e.g. impact and hammer crushers, are used [3].

The following comminution systems were

tested: » Rotor impact crusher with vertical drive shaft » Twin-rotor hammer crusher with grinding path
and 4 mm grate » High-pressure piston-die press for pressure comminution For the comminution tests,
pre-screened limestone in the size 0/22 mm (impact crusher) and 0.7/10 mm (hammer crusher and high-
pressure piston-die press) was used. During comminution in the two types of crusher, especially the
influence of changes of the rotor circumferential speed on the fineness of the product discharged from
the crusher was tested. In the tests on pressure comminution, the pressure was changed in the range
from 100 MPa to 200 MPa. After sampling and sample division, the particle size distributions of the
crushed products were determined by means of sieve analysis with a Haver & Boecker EML-200-T
analysis sieve [4]. From the particle size distribution, the product percentages of the fractions
0.15/0.5 mm, 0.5/0.71 mm, 0.71/1.2 mm and 0/1.2 mm required by the mortar producers were
determined (Table 1). In addition, the content of flour 0/0.075 mm, which is relevant for the p
