Brief introduction of crusher
What is a crusher?
A crusher is a machine used for the primary and secondary crushing of minerals, rocks, and other materials. The machine is also used in the production of coal, ores, and other minerals. It can be used to crush various types of rocks including granite, basalt, dolomite, limestone, and others. The crusher can also be used to produce fine powdered materials which can then be used in various industrial processes.
What are the different types of crushers?
There are different types of crushers available in the market. These crushers can either be used for primary or secondary crushing.
Primary Crusher: These crushers are designed for small-sized rocks and can be operated at high speeds. They are less efficient when it comes to crushing hard rocks.
Secondary Crusher: Secondary crushers are designed for large-sized rocks and can be operated at lower speeds. They are more efficient when it comes to crushing hard rocks.
How does a crusher work?
The primary function of a crusher is to reduce the size of a material by breaking it into smaller pieces. This is typically done using impact or hydraulic crushing. In contrast, ball crushers use hydraulic discs to break the rock into smaller balls which can then be removed by the vacuum cleaner.
There are several different types of crushers depending on what type of material they will be used on. Impact crushers are often used for harder materials such as limestone, granite and concrete. Hydraulic crushers operate using hydraulic pressure to break the rocks into small pieces. Ball crushers use high-speed balls to break the rocks into smaller pieces.
Selection criteria for a crusher
The selection criteria for a crusher depend on the type of material to be processed. Different crushers are designed for different materials, with some being more specialized than others. The primary factors that affect the selection of a crusher include the size and shape of the material to be crushed, the application for which it will be used, and the cost of replacement parts.
Crushing operations can be divided into primary and secondary operations. In primary crushing, the stone is reduced to fragments that are less than 2 inches in size. This is usually done using a jaw or impact crusher. Secondary crushing is used to reduce larger pieces of rock into smaller ones that can be handled by an average-sized machine such as a hammermill or cone crusher. The main difference between these two types of crushing is how finely the rock is broken down.
Material properties such as hardness, density, and composition affect how easily a material can be crushed. Some common material properties that may need to be taken into consideration when selecting a crusher include:
-Hardness: Harder materials resist being broken down more easily than softer materials, so they require a harder Crusher to reduce them effectively
-Density: Denser rocks are harder to crush and produce larger particles than less dense rocks
-Composition: Different materials have different percentages of various minerals and chemicals, which affects their ability to conduct heat and generate sparks during operation.
