OverviewRoll sizers for primary to quaternary mineral crushing, covering large, soft or sticky feeds (ABON® Low Speed Sizer) and higher‑throughput medium‑hard duties (RollSizer). Solutions focus on controlled sizing, reduced fines generation, modular wear parts and maintainability.
Main product families- ABON® Low Speed Sizer — low roll speed, high torque, specialised tooth profiles; suited to very large, soft or sticky material and In Pit Crushing Systems (IPCC).
- RollSizer — higher throughput sizer with rotating rolls and replaceable crushing segments; suited to medium‑hard and sticky materials in primary, secondary and tertiary stages.
Key benefits- Flexible duty: multiple sizes and configurations for primary, secondary and tertiary duties; selectable roll diameters and tooth/segment options.
- Wear and maintenance design: replaceable tooth picks and crushing segments, externally adjustable combs, shaft slot replacement to reduce downtime.
- Controlled crushing: reduced fines and dust through low tip speeds (ABON®) or interchangeable segment profiles (RollSizer), improving downstream handling.
Applications- Primary, secondary and tertiary crushing of ores and minerals where controlled product sizing and reduced fines are required.
- ABON®: large, sticky or soft feeds and IPCC configurations; RollSizer: higher throughput installations and medium‑hard material processing.
How they work- ABON® Sizer: low shaft tip speed and high torque with specialised tooth profiles; feed passes through the top of the chamber and is drawn between rotating shafts that reduce material to target sizes (typical tip speeds ~0.8 m/s primary to ~1.8 m/s tertiary).
- RollSizer: rotating rolls with replaceable crushing segments and comb options; configurable roll spacing and segment geometry to meet throughput and product quality targets.
Design & maintenance features- ABON®: sizing teeth slide into machined shaft slots for replacement without shaft removal; low roll speeds reduce dynamic loads and wear; adjustable breaker bars (CenterSizers) and exchangeable tooth picks.
- SideSizers / RollSizer: outward rotating rolls operating against sidewalls with integrated, externally adjustable crushing combs; rolls use replaceable crushing segments available in multiple variants.
Models and comparative highlightsMax. feed size (CenterSizer / SideSizer)480–850 mm (CenterSizer ranges) / 200–300 mm (SideSizer examples)
Throughput rate (representative)up to 1,500 tph (smaller ABON® / RollSizer) / up to 2,500 tph (larger RollSizer examples); engineered solutions up to 10,000 tph in specialised configurations
Total installed power (representative)55–220 kW (smaller ABON®) / 160–500 kW (larger RollSizer examples)
Product-specific notes- ABON®: proven in low to very high tonnage applications, including IPCC installations exceeding 12,000 tph in multi‑stage layouts.
- RollSizer: custom‑engineered variants for higher throughput and tailored product quality; configuration depends on crushing stage and target grain size.
Service & supportEngineering, inspections, modernisations, repairs and refurbishments with certified spare parts; field assembly and service centre support available for FLSmidth sizers and third‑party machines.
