crushers
Machines that pulverize
Crushers are devices or machines that crush—reducing materials to smaller pieces through pressure or impact.
Industrial crushers process rock, ore, or recycled materials.
Ice crushers break ice into fragments.
The word also refers to people who crush: The grape crushers worked through harvest season.
In slang, crushers can mean things that are overwhelming or devastating: Those final exams were absolute crushers.
