IMPACT CRUSHER

PRESENTED BY SHARATH SUDHAKARAN MENON S5 ME VAST

Impact crushers involve the use of impact rather than pressure to crush material. There are two types of impact crushers: horizontal shaft impactor and vertical shaft impactor.

HORIZONTAL SHAFT IMPACTOR

Horizontal Shaft Impact (HSI) crushers are best used for primary or secondary crushing operations. It consists of a horizontal rotating shaft to which a rotor is attached. Breaks rock by impacting the rock with hammers that are fixed upon the outer edge of a spinning rotor.

ADVANTAGES OF HSI

Offers high throughput primary and secondary crushing with good control of product size. High reduction ratios are available by this. Capital cost per ton of capacity is low It works well with ore that is sticky or have high clay content.

VERTICAL SHAFT IMPACTOR

VSI crushers utilize velocity rather than surface force as the predominant force to break rock. By utilising velocity, the breaking force can be evenly applied both across the surface of the rock and the mass of the rock The final particle size can be controlled by 1) the velocity at which the rock is thrown against the anvil 2) the distance between the end of the rotor and the impact point on the anvil.
