In mineral processing, construction waste recycling, and aggregate production, the double roller stone crusher is a trusted core equipment, favored for its compact structure, low energy consumption, uniform output, and strong material adaptability. This article focuses on two mainstream types—hydraulic and double tooth roller crushers—explaining their key features, applications, and differences to help you choose the right one.
1. Overview: What is a Double Roller Stone Crusher?
As the name suggests, the double roller stone crusher is a crushing equipment that uses two parallel rotating rollers to extrude, shear, and grind materials. The materials enter the crushing cavity from the feed port, and under the relative rotation of the two rollers, they are gradually crushed into the required particle size and then discharged from the discharge port. Compared with other crushers (such as jaw crushers, cone crushers), the double roller stone crusher has a unique advantage in producing fine-grained products, and the crushing process is gentle, which can effectively reduce the over-crushing phenomenon of materials, thus improving the utilization rate of materials.
According to the different structural designs and crushing principles, the double roller stone crusher mainly divide into hydraulic roller crusher and double tooth roller crusher. The two types of equipment have their own characteristics and are suitable for different material properties and production requirements. Let's take a closer look at them one by one.
2. Hydraulic Roller Crusher: High Efficiency & Stability for Hard Materials

2.1 Working Principle
The hydraulic roller crusher is equipped with a hydraulic adjustment system and a hydraulic protection system on the basis of the traditional double roller crusher. When the equipment is working, the two rollers rotate at a certain speed (the speed can be adjusted according to the production needs). After the materials enter the crushing cavity, they are crushed by the extrusion force between the rollers. The hydraulic adjustment system can accurately control the gap between the two rollers, so as to obtain the product particle size with high precision.
When foreign matters (such as iron blocks) that cannot be crushed enter the crushing cavity, the hydraulic protection system will automatically open the rollers to let the foreign matters pass through, and then reset the rollers to continue working, which effectively avoids the damage of the equipment.
2.2 Core Advantages
Hard Material Crushing: Powerful hydraulic extrusion handles granite, basalt, and ore efficiently, outperforming traditional mechanical models.
Stable & Low Failure: Hydraulic protection prevents jamming/damage; sturdy structure ensures long continuous operation with minimal maintenance.
Precise Particle Control: Stepless gap adjustment (0-50mm) delivers uniform output meeting various project requirements.
Energy-Saving & Eco-Friendly: Low energy consumption vs. impact/hammer crushers; sealed cavity and dust removal reduce pollution.
2.3 Application Scenarios
Ideal for hard/medium-hard materials, it widely used in metallurgy (ore crushing), building materials (aggregate production), mining (ore crushing), and chemical industry (coal, coke crushing).
3. Double Tooth Roller Crusher: Professional Choice for Brittle & Viscous Materials
3.1 Working Principle
Unlike hydraulic models, its rollers have customized tooth plates. Oppositely rotating toothed rollers grab, tear, shear, and extrude materials—perfect for viscous and brittle materials, avoiding sticking and blockage.
3.2 Core Advantages
Special Material Performance: Excels at coal, coke, gypsum (brittle) and clay, shale (viscous), with high efficiency and no blockage.
Energy-Saving & Wear-Resistant: Alloy tooth plates last long; tearing/shearing reduces energy consumption and production costs.
Simple & Easy to Maintain: Simpler structure than hydraulic models; tooth plate replacement is quick, with minimal daily maintenance.
3.3 Application Scenarios
Suited for brittle, viscous, and low-hardness materials, it’s key in coal preparation plants, and used in building materials (shale, gypsum), power (coal crushing), and chemical industries (low-hardness raw materials).
4. Key Differences & Quick Selection Tips
The hydraulic roller crusher and double tooth roller crusher differ significantly in core aspects. The former relies on extrusion (assisted by grinding) to handle hard/medium-hard materials like granite and ore, boasting strong crushing force, stable operation, and precise particle size control—though it has a higher cost and requires moderate maintenance for the hydraulic system. The latter uses tearing & shearing (assisted by extrusion), excelling at brittle/viscous materials such as coal and clay; it features customizable tooth plates, simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance. These differences directly guide selection.
5. How to Choose?
Selection depends on your needs: Prioritize hydraulic roller crushers for hard materials, high-precision output, sufficient budget, or metallurgical/mining scenarios. Choose double tooth roller crushers for brittle/viscous materials, flexible customization, limited budget, or coal preparation/power plant use.
Choosing between hydraulic roller crusher and double tooth roller crusher is not about which is better, but which is more suitable for your actual needs. You can make a decision based on the following points:
Focus on material properties, output requirements, budget, and application scenarios. On-site testing with your materials to ensure suitability.
6. Final Note
Both crushers have unique advantages. When purchasing, consider more than just price—factor in materials, output, scale, and maintenance.
