stone crusher

Aggregate production machine

A stone crusher is a machine that breaks large rocks into smaller pieces, gravel, or dust, used in mining, quarrying, and construction.

The term also describes a person who operates such equipment or, more broadly, anyone whose work involves breaking stones.

Figuratively, something relentlessly powerful or grinding: The new tax policy was a stone crusher for small businesses.
