The impact crusher is a highly efficient crushing device, widely used in industries such as mining, construction. And chemicals for material crushing processes. This crusher operates by striking the material with a high-speed rotor equipped with blow bars or hammers. Causing the material to be crushed under immense impact force. Based on its working principles, the equipment can be divided into two categories: vertical shaft and horizontal shaft.
How the Impact Crusher Crushes Stones
Vertical shaft impact crushers are typically used for fine crushing of hard materials, producing products with excellent grain shapes. They are suitable for sand making and stone reshaping. The working principle involves materials entering the crushing chamber. And being accelerated within the high-speed rotating impeller, which then propels them at high velocity towards the surrounding impact plates. Materials also collide with each other, achieving the purpose of crushing.
Horizontal shaft impact crushers are more suited for handling medium-hard materials. Its rotor is placed horizontally, and after the material is struck by the hammer, it is thrown towards the impact plates on the machine’s casing for further crushing. The material then falls to the next set of impact plates for continued crushing until the desired particle size is achieved.
The main advantages of this equipment include its simple structure, easy operation, low maintenance costs, high crushing ratio, uniform product size, and minimal over-crushing. Additionally, it offers good environmental performance, producing low noise and less dust, which aligns with the modern industry’s green production requirements.
