Impact stone crushers operate on the principle of rapid impact to crush material. Here's a step-by-step overview of how they typically work:
- Feeding: Materials are fed into the impact stone crusher, usually via a hopper.
- Crushing Chamber: Inside the crusher, the materials enter a crushing chamber containing a spinning rotor.
- Acceleration: The rotor, which has attached breaker plates (hammers), rapidly spins and throws the materials against stationary anvils or impact plates.
- Impact: Upon striking the impact plates, the materials break along natural fissures due to the force of the impact, resulting in smaller fragments.
- Re-Entry: Some crushers are equipped with extra layers or secondary areas where crushed materials are diverted back for further impact until the desired size is achieved.
- Discharge: Once the materials are reduced to the required sizes, they pass through designated grates or screens at the bottom of the crusher and are collected as the final product.
Impact crushers are widely used in quarrying, mining, and recycling operations due to their high efficiency and capacity to produce finely crushed materials from a variety of input sizes and types.
