Crusher Wikipedia

Among the most commonly used crushing equipments, shaft impact crusher and hammer crushers are mainly for crushing fragile materials, that is why they are called impact crusher. Impact crusher is the special equipment for producing building sand, especially for the secondary and fine crushing of grinding materials, fireproofing materials, cement, quarts sand, steel shot, slag powder, copper ore, gold ore, pebbles, aggregates, asphalt aggregates, etc. It is efficient and energy-saving gravel sand equipment.

Compared with other crushers such as jaw crusher, cone crusher, and roll crusher, impact crusher has the following characters.
1. High ratio of reduction: the ratio of reduction of impact crusher is above 50, while the ratio of cone crusher and roll crusher is below 20.
2. Good product particles: Under the hammering action, the broken material often splinter along its most vulnerable level, such selective fragmentation method, the particles have a high probability to form a cube drought, so the flakiness percentage content of impact crusher may be lower than 10%, while those of jaw, cone and roll crusher will be higher than 15% .

These characteristics above make impact crusher play a significant role in numerous crushing equipments.
Compared with other crushers, impact crusher has many advantages, while there are also some existing defects. As the fact that impact crusher adopts the impact theory for crushing materials, its impact tools such as hammerhead, plate hammer, impact plate, etc are easy to abrade. These defects in quite a long period of time restrict the application scope of impact crusher. With the application of new wear-resistant material, and the research and improvement to the components and parts of impact crusher, the service life of impact crusher is prolonged to a large extent

1. Know and follow the Rock Crusher Constraints
Every machine has a few reservations and this applies to a rock crusher as well. There are basically three limitations that are particularly important to be kept in mind while operating a crusher i.e. the horsepower, volume, and the crushing force. It is an overload if any one of these limitations is exceeded during operation. The operator needs to take into consideration the type of rock being crushed and environmental conditions as this too may change the rock crusher’s limits on the fly. By forcing crushers like jaw crushers to go beyond limits and stressing out different aspects of the machine, the lifespan is decreased and the time that it has between repairs and failure is shortened. All this leads to more repair expenditure, more man-hours, reduced output and in few cases permanent failure of the machine.

2. Familiarize yourself with the Maintenance Needs of Rock Crushers
As with all the mechanical machines, maintenance is needed and must be followed. Rock Crushers are no different. There are three types of maintenance that one must follow to properly maintain the crusher. They are Preventive maintenance, Predictive maintenance and Reactive maintenance.

•Preventive Maintenance
This type of crusher maintenance plan need to be on a schedule and followed to keep up the crusher life. Following the jaw crusher manufacturer maintenance manual should be the rule in this case. This includes looking after the components like crusher liners and other wearing components for their good health.
By not changing the liners in the crusher as they become less and less efficient, you will not only be losing money because of poor/out of spec product but also on labor as well since the operator will still be there for the same amount of time, but doing much less crushing. Also, the out of spec or oversized material may re-circulate in a closed circuit to further increase the load on the already deficient crusher.

•Predictive Maintenance
This refers to monitoring the condition of the rock crusher while it is in use. This is done by using predictive maintenance tools, such as lubricating oil thermometers, lube oil pressure gauges, lubricating oil filter condition indicator device, lube oil analysis, crusher drive motor ammeter and daily operator crusher log sheets. These are used to determine the normal operating specs of the crusher. This will allow seeing when things are not running properly and allow proper and corrective action to occur.

•Reactive Maintenance
This maintenance occurs when hammer crushers are not operating properly and it is decided it is time to fix. In other words, waiting until it is broken in order to maintain it. This should be seen as the last resort and be avoided.

3. Root Cause Analysis
Identify and apply corrective measures to the root cause because of which the rock crusher is facing issues. This can be very cost effective in the long run as it will minimize the recurrence of the problem. Root cause analysis not only helps in curbing the current problem but also in forecasting the potential of an incident. Thus corrective measures can be implemented well in advance.
There are many different techniques and tools for conducting root cause analysis like gathering data, checking the operator’s skills and knowledge, inspection of the machine and end product, machine placement, forces of nature, maintenance processes etc. Once the root cause is identified, establish the corrective measure plan which will best suit to achieve your goals. The tracking of corrective measures can be documented in the form of dash-boards for the staff.

4. Design and Implement an Employee Training Plan
Many problems that would occur with a rock crusher can be prevented if employees are trained properly. Employees can be trained on one-to-one basis or through a group session. Group sessions are more advisable if a new technique or process has to be imparted to employees. Employee training program should be designed in such a manner that it keeps in mind each employee’s needs and current skill status.

In this process, large ore materials become small by the help of mechanical force. The crushing process is important during the treatment of ores. It is divided into four stages: crushing, grinding and classification, superfine crushing and micronization. It is a high energy-consuming operation, and its basic principle is “more crushing, less grinding”.

Ore beneficiation process
In ore processing plant, Beneficiation drafts include floatation separation, gravity concentration, magnetic separation and electric separation.

Magnetic Separation
This method is used to separate the ores in uneven magnetic field, in view of the difference in magnetism of ores. On the basis of diversity of electric conductivity of ores and gangue particles, the separation takes place in high voltage electric field. Flotation separation, also called the froth flotation, is a kind of dressing draft which is based on the diversity of physicochemical property on the ore surface.

Ball Mill Overview
A ball mill, a type of grinder, is a cylindrical device used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. Ball mills rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium. Ball mill can grind various ores and other materials with dry type and wet type, so the ball mill can be divided into tabular type and flowing type according to different forms of discharging material.

Ball Mill Application
Together with jaw crushers, Ball mill is mainly used for grinding materials in such production industries as cement, silicate product, new building materials, corhart, chemical engineering, nonferrous and black metal, mineral processing, glass and ceramic, etc. Ball mill is used for grinding various ore and other grindable materials dry or wet. Ball mills are generally used to grind material 1\4 inch and finer, down to the particle size of 20 to 75 microns. To achieve a reasonable efficiency with hammer crushers, ball mills must be operated in a closed system, with oversize continuously being recalculated back to the mill to be reduced.

Ball Mill Working Principle
This ball mill is horizontal type and tubular running device, has two warehouses. This ball mill is grid type and runs along the outside gear. The material enters spirally and evenly the first warehouse of the milling machine along the input material hollow axis by input material device. In this warehouse, there is a ladder scale board or ripple scale board, and different specification steel balls are installed on the scale board. When the barrel body rotates ball mill produces centrifugal force, at the same time, the steel ball is carried to some height and falls to make the material grinding and striking. After grinded coarsely in the first warehouse, the material then enters into the second warehouse for regrinding with the steel ball and scale board. In the end, the powder is discharged by output material board and the end products are completed. The machine can also work with various cone crushers.

Vibrating Screen Working Principle
Vibrating Screen moves round. It has multi-layers and is of high efficiency. The eccentric shaft vibration exciter and partial block help to adjust amplitude. The material drops down along the long line. In screen grading, the material is separated mechanically on screen plates. Rolling bearings in vibrating screens are stressed by high, mostly shock-type loads. Moreover, the bearings, while rotating about their own axis, perform a circular, elliptical or linear vibrating motion. This results in high radial accelerations which additionally stress the bearings, and especially the cages, considerably. Comparing to vibrating feeders, the operating speeds are usually very high. As a result, the bearing temperatures are up to 20 to 30 degrees Kelvin higher than in normal applications. In addition, considerable misalignments between the bearing locations and considerable shaft deflections have to be accommodated.
