The invention regards to a device for comminuting ore and/or slag, which comprises an ore feed unit for feeding ore to be comminuted to a first comminuting means, the first comminuting means being composed of at least two comminuting elements that can be moved relative to each other, which elements form at least one comminuting space for the ore to be comminuted with each other such that, by a relative movement in the form of a rotation around the rotational axis of at least one of the two comminuting elements, the ore to be comminuted is pulverized in that one or more accelerating elements, in particular protrusions, are provided on at least one of the comminuting elements, said accelerating elements being arranged in particular on the end face of one of the two comminuting elements and accelerating and comminuting the ore to be comminuted by the rotation of one of the two comminuting elements,and wherein at least one of the two comminuting elements comprises a functional connection with a spring means, wherein the spring means is formed in such a way, that it mounts the comminuting element being in functional connection with variably in the direction of the other comminuting element.
