Crusher machineries are essential equipment used in various industries, including mining, construction, recycling, and aggregate processing. They are designed to reduce the size of large rocks, ores, concrete, or other materials into smaller pieces for further processing or disposal. Below is an overview of different types of crusher machines and their applications:
—
1. Types of Crusher Machineries
# A. Jaw Crushers
– Function: Primary crushing (coarse crushing).
– Mechanism: Uses a fixed and movable jaw plate to compress materials.
– Applications: Mining, quarrying, recycling (concrete demolition).
– Examples: Single-toggle and double-toggle jaw crushers.
# B. Cone Crushers
– Function: Secondary or tertiary crushing (medium to fine crushing).
– Mechanism: Crushes material between a rotating mantle and a concave bowl liner.
– Applications: Aggregate production, ore processing.
– Examples: Hydraulic cone crushers (e.g., Symons, HP series).
# C. Impact Crushers
– Function: High-speed impact crushing (for softer materials).
– Mechanism: Uses hammers or blow bars to strike material against impact plates.
– Applications: Recycling (asphalt, concrete), limestone crushing.
– Examples: Horizontal Shaft Impactors (HSI), Vertical Shaft Impactors (VSI).
# D. Gyratory Crushers
– Function: Primary crushing for large-scale mining operations.
– Mechanism: A conical head gyrates inside a concave bowl to crush material.
– Applications: High-capacity ore processing (e.g., copper, iron ore).
# E. Roll Crushers
– Function: Fine crushing with low dust generation.
– Mechanism: Material is crushed between two rotating rolls.
– Applications: Coal processing, mineral sizing.
# F. Hammer Crushers
– Function: Crushing brittle materials by impact force.
– Mechanism: Rotating hammers strike material against breaker plates.
– Applications: Cement production, coal crushing.
# G. (Mobile Crushers)
– Portable units mounted on tracks or wheels for on-site crushing in construction/mining projects.
