  • Originalbeschriftung: Pennsylvania coal breakers, (Breaker Boys), 1912.
  • A coal breaker is a coal processing plant which breaks coal into various useful sizes. The first function of a coal breaker is to break coal into pieces and sort these pieces into categories of nearly uniform size, a process known as breaking. The second function of a coal breaker is to remove impurities (such as slate or rock), and then grade the coal on the basis of the percent of impurities remaining. The sorting by size is particularly important for anthracite coal. In order to burn efficiently, air must flow evenly around anthracite.
