Gundlach Crushers Cage-Paktor

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.
Overview
The Cage-Paktor® is a compact powerhouse designed for efficient, selective crushing. Unlike traditional screen-based crushers, it relies on concentric steel cages with multiple rows of impact bars to selectively reduce oversized particles while allowing in-size material to pass through unchanged.
Crushing performance is governed primarily by cage speed (RPM) — the only variable controlling output size — enabling operators to fine-tune product specifications with minimal complexity.
Available in two primary configurations:
- 1C3R – One rotating cage with three rows of striking surfaces
- 2C4R – Two counter-rotating cages with four rows of striking surfaces
The dual rotating cage (2C4R) configuration achieves reduction ratios from 25:1 up
to 40:1 for finer product targets around 2 mm, while the single rotating cage (1C3R)
configuration delivers up to 18:1 reduction for 4–6 mm applications.
Features
Next-Generation Cage-Mill Design
Segmented cage rows and bolt-on components allow individual part replacement — eliminating costly full cage rebuilds typical of welded designs
Screenless Impact Crushing
Concentric steel cages size material through staged impact reduction — allowing in-spec product to pass while oversized particles continue through additional reduction stages
Selective Multi-Stage Reduction
Multiple rows of strike plates reduce oversize progressively, minimizing fines and maximizing yield within the desired size range
Maintenance-Friendly Access
Swing-away doors provide full cage access. Optional on-board cage jack simplifies removal without cranes
