Crushers are fundamental assets in the crushing process, which aims to reduce the particle size of the material to avoid overload in the grinding stage, which has the highest energy consumption in ore treatment. This reduction contributes to the greater effectiveness of grinding and leaching.
Our company mainly produces all kinds of jaw crushers, impact crushers, cone crushers, hammer crushers, Raymond mills, sand making machines, mineral processing equipment, milling machines, ball mills, and building material equipment.
Explore the various types of crushers and their functionalities in our detailed guide. Get insights on types of crushers for your next project.
A crusher is a machine that reduces large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, or rock dust. Crushers are mainly used in the mining and construction industries, where they are used to break down very large rocks and boulders into smaller pieces. Crushers are also commonly used for jobs like breaking up asphalt for roadwork or demolition projects.
Most crushers used for aggregate production can be categorised as one of three main types: Compression crushers – which squeeze the material until it breaks. Impact crushers – which use the principle of rapid impact to shatter material. A ttrition crushers – which use both impact and grinding to shear material.
There are several types of primary crushers, including jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, and impact crushers. Jaw crushers are commonly used in the aggregates industry and are designed to handle large, blocky materials.
For instance, jaw crushers are preferred for primary crushing due to their ability to handle large, abrasive materials, while cone crushers are a great choice for secondary and tertiary crushing because of their efficiency and ability to produce finely crushed aggregates.
The different types of primary crushers are: jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, impact crushers, and autogenous crushers. The jaw crusher squeezes rock between two surfaces, one of which opens and closes like a jaw. Rock enters the jaw crusher from the top.
Crushing machines help reduce the size of rocks, concrete or construction rubble to safely dispose of debris or create material for production purposes. Every operator or employee who works with or around the equipment must receive full training in the stone crusher safety protocols of each machine.
