Crushing river stone requires robust machinery capable of handling hard and abrasive materials. Here are the most suitable types of equipment for crushing river stone:
1. Jaw Crusher
– Best for Primary Crushing
– Handles large-sized river stones (up to 1,500 mm).
– High compressive strength capability.
– Adjustable discharge size for further processing.
2. Cone Crusher
– Best for Secondary/Tertiary Crushing
– Ideal for medium-hard to hard river stones.
– Produces uniform, cubical-shaped output.
– Hydraulic adjustment for precise control.
3. Impact Crusher (VSI/HSI)
– Best for Shaping & Fine Crushing
– Vertical Shaft Impactors (VSI) produce sand-like particles.
– Horizontal Shaft Impactors (HSI) are good for softer stones but may wear faster with abrasive river rock.
4. Mobile Crushers (Jaw + Cone/Impact Combo)
– Best for On-Site Crushing
– Portable units eliminate traortation costs.
– Ideal for temporary or remote projects.
5. Hammer Crusher (For Smaller Sizes)
– Suitable for small-scale operations with softer river stones.
Key Considerations:
– Abrasion Resistance: River stone is abrasive, so use high-manganese steel or chrome alloy wear parts.
– Feed Size: Match the crusher’s inlet size to the stone dimensions.
– Output Requirements: Choose between coarse aggregate, fine sand, or mixed grades.
Recommended Setup:
– Large-Scale: Jaw Crusher → Cone Crusher → VSI (for sand).
– Small-Scale: Mobile Jaw + Impact Crusher combo.
