Crusher Discharge Product Size & Shape

Primary_crusher_Open_Side_Setting_Of_Discharge_Opening_inch

A striking feature of the non-choking concave, is the character of the product. So far we have been dealing with crushers whose eccentric speeds are low enough to permit the material to fall, with each receding stroke of the active crushing member, the full distance allowed by the close CSS and open side OSS physical proportions of […]

Working Principle of Crushers

Crushing_Effort

On left is a showing of the “standard gyratory with straight concaves” is a section through any vertical, radial plane in the crushing chamber of one of the intermediate sizes of the crusher. In order to understand the crushing action in such a chamber it is helpful to consider the process as though each step took […]

Estimate Jaw Crusher Capacity

Formula to Estimate Jaw Crusher Capacity

Example capacity calculation of a 10″ x 20″ (250 mm x 500 mm): Pp = 2800 (2.8 SG) e = 0.2 (halfway between dolomite and sandstone) A = 250/1000 x 500/1000 Wj = 0.5 Nj = 225 = 2800 x 0.25 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 225 x (1-0.2)/60 = 525 kg/hr = 13 TPD vs 300 to 420 TPD —> […]

Gyratory Crushers

gyratory crusher animation

The below image shows a sectional view of a typical gyratory crusher. This type of machine is, by virtue of chronological priority, known as the “standard” gyratory crusher. Although it incorporates many refinements in design, it is fundamentally the same crusher that first bore the name of “gyratory”; its crushing chamber is very much the same […]

Common Crushing Industry Terms & Vocabulary

Reduction_Ratio

There are Crushing Industry Terms, Vocabulary as well as a number of expressions, peculiar to operation of rock crushing plants, have come into common usage among crusher designers and operators. Inasmuch as these terms are used rather loosely, and with a considerable degree of freedom as to their exact meaning, it is desirable to define a few […]

Secondary Gyratory Crushers

Allis-Chalmers_Superior-McCully_10”_gyratory_crusher

The use of large primary crushers made secondary crushing necessary, but this department was taken care of nicely by the existing lines of standard gyratory machines. In commercial crushed stone plants, there was gradual increase in the number of products, but generally a sufficient demand existed for the coarser grades for ballast and macadam roads […]
