What Do You Know About Impact Crusher?

Impact crusher is also called mineral impact crusher or impact stone breaker. As its name implies, it is a kind of construction equipment people can use to crush rock, waste concrete, and similar materials. When it operates, chunks of materials are sent into the machine’s hopper and then they turn into a more uniform size after the crushing of the machine. The impact crusher has lots of advantages, such as large crushing ratio, high crushing efficiency, easy maintenance and so forth. And unlike other crushers, the impact crusher is environment-friendly. It has little dust pollution. Depending on its characteristics, the impact crusher is widely used in many areas.

One application for the machine is in the processing of raw materials. For example, during the rock mining process, we can use the impact crusher reducing the size of rock before transportation. It is not only easier and more efficient for us to transport the materials, but also allows us separate materials by type and just removes the useful part. Another application of it is preparing materials for recycling or disposal. The impact crusher can break rocks down into smaller pieces. It can provide materials in the gravel system. Many industries like roads, railways and electricity power all need gravel system to produce aggregation to meet the quality requirement. If we just want to discard the useless materials, it is also more convenient after crushing.

When it comes to the principle of impact crusher, in simple terms, it uses the impact energy to crush materials. When materials get into the area where the board hammer plays a part, under the impact function of board hammer at a high speed, the crushed ones are thrown to the impact device above the rotor continuously. And then they are rebounded from the impact liner to the area where the board hammer plays a part, and are impacted again. The materials from large ones to small ones get into the impact cavity for being crushed repeatedly. The process is going on until the materials are crushed to the required sizes and discharged from down of the machine.
