I was crushing and grading some pucks today since my customer failed to show. Thought I would take some pictures of my process in-case anyone is interested.
A puck before breaking it up.
Here the puck is crushed with a baseball bat.
Next the broken up puck is dumped into a kitchen sieve.
The chunks and powder that didn't pass the sieve are put into a ceramic coffee grinder and ground up. That is then graded through the sieve, and a 20 mesh screen. What doesn't pass those 2 go back through the grinder.
I only keep what stays on the 30 mesh screen which seems to shoot the best for me.
The powder that passes the 30 mesh screen is wet down and pressed again and the process starts all over again.
