Compare Gyratory Crusher vs Jaw Crusher

gyratory crusher vs jaw crusher

To accomplish this reduction in size takes several steps or stages of crushing and grinding. Primary crushing is the first of these stages. Generally speaking there are two types of primary crushers, lets compare them: GYRATORY CRUSHER or a JAW CRUSHER. Although they don’t look anything like they do have similarities that put them into […]

Types of Crushers

All Types of Crushers

Crushers may be divided into three general classes, with respect to the manner in which they do their work: Pressure Crushers: This category embraces the several types of gyratory crushers and jaw crushers, as well as the double crushing rolls, with either smooth or corrugated shells. Impact Crushers: This division is represented chiefly by the […]

Impact Crusher Working Principle

Impact Crushing Working Principle

Starting from the base working principle that compression is the forcing of two surfaces towards one another to crush the material caught between them. Impact crushing can be of two variations: gravity and dynamic.  An example of gravity impact would be dropping a rock onto a steel plate (similar to what goes on into an […]

Impact Work Index Procedure

Impact Work Index Procedure

This is or was used by Sandvik to acquire the Impact (AKA Crushing) Work Index for sizing crushers.  Use this in complement to the Bond Crushing Work Index Procedure.   Another Summary Table of various Impact Work Index by Rock or Mineral Type (/metric tonne). Find a referential Rod Mill Work Index Table here.

Bond Impact Crushing Work Index -Procedure

Machine to Determine crushing work index

Sizing a crusher can be done reliably calculated thanks to the Impact/Crushing Work Index and the testwork research done by Fred Chester Bond and his 1952 paper.  According to Bond’s Third Theory of Comminution, the work/energy input is proportional to the new crack tip length created during particle breakage and equivalent to the work represented by […]

Gyratory Crusher Concaves

Gyratory Crusher Concaves

Concaves on the right illustrate the cross section of a typical gyratory crusher, while the left illustrates the same crushing chamber, except that, in place of the straight-face concave, the non-choking type has been substituted. For the sake of direct comparison we have shown the same discharge setting in both diagrams, although a closer setting would be permissible […]

Rock Crusher History

Blake Jaw Crusher Mechanism

History tells us, it was in 1830, the first US patent was issued on a rock crushing machine. It covered a device which, in a crude way, incorporated the drop hammer principle later used in the famous stamp mill, whose history is so intimately linked with that of the golden age of mining. In 1840, another patent was […]

3″ x 6″ Jaw Crusher AKA 75*150 Rock Crusher The extra heavy frame is cast in one piece and reinforced for greater strength where necessary. The shaft is of a special nickel chrome alloy and is practically unbreakable under the most rigorous conditions. Pulleys and balance wheel are of extra heavy construction and provide ample […]

Crusher Concave Profiles

When used for primary or coarse secondary crushing service, the type of crusher described is usually fitted with the style of concave shown on the upper left. These are known as “standard” or straight-face concaves, which have been the standard type of liner ever since the gyratory crusher came into popular use. The distinguishing features of […]
