Pulverizers are made out of a pulverizer frame, a pulverizer toggle, and two capped pounders.  


Pulverizer frames hold the entire mechanism together. It is a two-block high structure. It takes a hopper input from the back and outputs items to the front. The pulverizer toggle must be placed within a pulverizer frame, and an axle should be connected to it in order to power the entire mechanism. Two pounders must then be attached to the frame, and capped.

Pulverizers must be powered via a [[windmill]] or similar mechanism in order to function, and cannot be manually operated.  
Pulverizers are used to crush [[Gemstones#Quartz|quartz]], [[Rock|bauxite]], [[Gemstones#Olivine|olivine]] or [[Titanium|ilmenite]] for use in [[Steel Making|refractory bricks]], or for crushing [[cinnabar]] or [[lapis lazuli]] to make [[Dye|dyes]].

=== Automated operation ===
 
* '''Power input:''' Connect a powered axle to the bottom left or right of the frame, where the pulverizer toggle is. They cannot be powered from the top or bottom.
 
* '''Input:''' Pulverizers take input from the bottom back of the frame. By using an elbow chute and a hopper, players can automate input and also insert stacks of items for processing. Pulverizers can also be manually loaded by selecting the item to be pulverized in the hotbar and right-clicking the pulverizer frame. Pulverizers can process two items at a time.
 
* '''Output:''' Items are outputted from the front bottom block of the frame, and can be collected by placing a hopper one block in front of and below the front of the frame.  


They can be manually loaded, by selecting the item to be pulverized in the hotbar and right-clicking the pulverizer frame. Pulverizers can process two items at a time. Inputs can also be automated using hoppers. Outputted items come out of the front of the pulverizer and can likewise be directed into a crate or chest using a hopper.
