In limestone quarries, both impact crushers and jaw crushers play important roles, but their roles and application scenarios in the crushing process are different. The following is a detailed analysis of the two crushers:
Working principle of impact crusher:
Impact crusher, also known as vertical impact crusher, uses the principle of stone hitting stone for crushing. It makes the stone collide with the stone thrown out by the impeller during the natural fall process, so as to achieve the purpose of crushing. This crushing method not only reduces machine wear but also improves crushing efficiency.
Application scenarios of impact crusher
• Impact crusher is widely used in various metal and non-metallic ores, cement, refractory materials, abrasives, glass raw materials, building aggregates, machine-made sand, metallurgy, and other industries.
• It is particularly suitable for medium and fine crushing of various ores and rocks of different hardness, such as iron ore, non-ferrous metal ores, corundum, bauxite, quartz sand, brown corundum, perlite, basalt, and other high-hardness materials.
• In limestone quarries, impact crushers are usually used for fine crushing operations, further crushing the coarsely crushed limestone into smaller particles to meet the needs of different fields.
Performance characteristics of impact crushers
• Novel and unique structure, balanced operation.
• Low energy consumption, high output, and large crushing ratio.
• Small equipment size, easy operation, installation and maintenance.
• With shaping function, the product is cubic, with high bulk density and minimal iron pollution.
• Suitable for crushing medium-hard and extra-hard materials. During the production process, the stone can form a protective bottom layer, and the machine body is wear-free and durable.
Application in 180tph limestone quarry
For a limestone quarry with a capacity of 180 tons/hour (tph), jaw crushers are usually used as coarse crushing equipment to crush large pieces of limestone into smaller particles. Subsequently, these coarsely crushed limestones can be further crushed by impact crushers to meet the needs of limestone particle size in different fields.
When making specific configurations, it is necessary to select the appropriate crusher model and quantity based on the actual conditions of the quarry, material characteristics, and production needs. At the same time, factors such as the crusher's maintenance cost, energy consumption, and environmental performance also need to be considered.
Impact crushers and
jaw crushers each have their important roles and application scenarios in limestone quarries. Through reasonable configuration and use, their advantages can be fully utilized to improve the production efficiency and product quality of the quarry.
