The Cage-Paktor® is a versatile crushing solution that excels in handling challenging materials, from wet and sticky substances to friable materials like coal and fertilizers. With the ability to crush from 100mm feeds to 2mm products, it offers economical impactor design, reducing power consumption and operating costs.

Its compact design saves floor space, and the exclusive air-cannon system prevents material buildup. Featuring a unique cage mill design, it simplifies maintenance with an optional cage jack and offers striking plate options for various material types. The Swing-away door on the Model 50 enhances maintenance convenience, making it a powerful, cost-effective choice for selective and uniform impact crushing needs.

Features and Benefits

When you’re dealing with wet, sticky or difficult-to-crush materials, the CAGE-PAKTOR® 1C3R delivers more features, more value and more crushing power for the dollar. Plus, it helps maximize your return on investment by maximizing your product yield from friable materials. Designed for efficient crushing from 100 mm feeds to 2 mm product, the CAGE-PAKTOR is ideal for a variety of materials such as coal, salts and metallurgical coal for making coke, as well as fertilizers such as potash, nitrogen and phosphate.

  • Selective Crushing – The CAGE-PAKTOR works to selectively and uniformly crush your material, while already-to-size materials pass through.
  • Economy – Selective crushing means less power is needed, resulting in lower operating costs and energy savings.
  • Compact – Unique design requires less floor space.
  • How It Works – Material enters directly into the crusher’s center through the low-friction inlet (or feed chute), where it uses multiple rows of impact bars to offer selective stages of reduction. As they pass through the rotating cage, only oversized particles large enough in mass are crushed. Already-to-size particles from previous stages of reduction aren’t reduced, so less fines are created. At the same time, multiple stages of crushing inside the CAGE-PAKTOR minimize product oversize, achieving greater crushing efficiency and more finished product in your desired size range.
  • Packed with Powerful Features for Uniform Impact Crushing
    • Compact, single-shaft design takes up less floor space.
    • Exclusive optional air cannon system helps prevent material from building up and clogging the unit.
    • Exclusive cage mill design saves you hours of labor by eliminating drive removal, realignment and setup — the first cage mill to make cage replacement fast and easy.
      Optional on-board cage jack is available for cage removal without overhead cranes or extra help.
    • Available with either fully-welded, hardfaced cages (no replaceable strikers) or cages with easily replaceable “wrap-around” striking plates (to provide increased tonnage life plus wear protection to equipment). The hardfaced cage, normally selected for friable materials where 4 rows of striking plates are not needed, is more forgiving when a non-crushable, tramp material gets into the feed system.

2C4R Model Features and Benefits

  • Versatility: sizes up to 125 mm feeds to 2mm product
  • Handles difficult feeds, including wet and sticky materials
  • Economical impactor design saves on horsepower and energy use
  • Needs no screens
  • Cages are available with two different striking surface options, both of which protect the cage structure:
  • Replaceable “wrap-around” wear plates – facilitate easy maintenance
  • Hardfaced striking surfaces – useful for feeds that may contain moderate amounts of uncrushable material
  • Optional cage jack available for easier cage removal
  • Exclusive, optional Air-Cannon System keeps sticky material from building up
  • Requires less floor space
  • Swing-away door gives immediate cage access without the need to remove components
  • Striking plate maintains desired product size during the life of the plate
