Crush smarter: High-capacity, low TCO & low-fines generation with Komatsu's MVT-II sizer

Article Header

In modern mining and processing, operators are searching for crushing equipment that delivers consistent sizing, high capacity, and fines reduction while maintaining low total cost of ownership. Whether you are processing coal for the power industry or crushing industrial minerals like potash, phosphate, and salt, your operation depends on reliable, efficient, and sustainable crushers.

The Komatsu MVT-II Sizer is specifically engineered to outperform traditional double roll crushers, jaw crushers, and other mineral crushers by combining high throughput capacity with unmatched fines control — all in a compact, low-maintenance package.

Why Choose the Komatsu MVT-II Sizer Over Traditional Crushers?

When compared to conventional crushers and double roll crushers, the MVT-II Sizer stands apart thanks to its Matched Velocity Technology (MVT). This innovation aligns the roll tooth speed with the velocity of material passing through the crusher, reducing the excess crushing action and recirculation which leads to unwanted fines.

For coal crushers, this means less waste and better recovery. For industrial mineral crushers, it means consistent sizing, improved downstream efficiency, and reduced processing costs.

The MVT-II Sizer is available in two models — the MVT-II 600 (up to 1,000 MTPH) and the MVT-II 800 (up to 2,500 MTPH) — with the versatility to be deployed for both secondary and tertiary crushing applications, offering precise product size control through adjustable roll gaps.

Superior Material Handling: Wet, Sticky, and Abrasive

Unlike many jaw crushers or traditional roll crushers that can clog when handling wet, sticky, or mixed materials, the MVT-II Sizer’s meshing, timed, center-sizing shafts provide a self-cleaning action, efficiently scrubbing material from the shafts during operation, preventing blockages and keeping production steady.

For mining operations working with coal, lignite, or moisture-rich industrial minerals, this self-cleaning design minimizes downtime and eliminates one of the most common issues experienced with older crushing systems.

Lower Costs and Longer Life

The MVT-II Sizer is designed for sustainability and cost control. Its segmented roll design with replaceable teeth, gives operators the flexibility to replace or repair only worn segments instead of the entire roll — reducing both component costs and waste.

Energy efficiency is built in. By matching roll speed to material velocity, the MVT-II Sizer minimizes unnecessary power consumption compared to many high-speed crushers and jaw crushers. Optional variable speed drives (VSDs) further improve performance while reducing wear on components.

Compact Footprint, Flexible Installations

Whether you need a crusher for a new plant or to replace aging equipment in an existing setup, the MVT-II Sizer’s compact footprint makes it easier to install than bulkier jaw crushers or primary sizers. The compact design is ideal for underground mines, mobile operations, or facilities with space constraints, reducing civil works and installation costs.

The Competitive Edge for Coal and Industrial Mineral Producers

In the world of coal and industrial mineral crushers, the Komatsu MVT-II Sizer delivers a powerful combination of:

  • High throughput capacity — up to 2,500 MTPH
  • Low fines generation through Matched Velocity Technology
  • Self-cleaning shafts for wet, sticky material handling
  • Replaceable wear segments for sustainable, low-cost operation
  • Compact installation footprint ideal for space-limited applications
  • Smart maintenance technology to maximize uptime

Whether you’re replacing older jaw crushers, double roll crushers, or adding capacity to your processing line, the MVT-II Sizer can transform your crushing operation.

Final Takeaway:

For coal preparation plants, industrial mineral processing, and any application where consistent sizing, low fines generation and the ability to handle wet/sticky materials are key, the Komatsu MVT-II Sizer is a smarter, more efficient alternative to conventional crushers. With superior technology, lower operating costs, and a design built for challenging materials, it’s the future of mineral sizing.
