What is the difference between the appearance of hammer crusher and impact crusher?

There are significant differences in appearance and structural design between hammer crushers and impact crushers. These differences are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Differences in structural design
Hammer crusher: It is mainly composed of box body, rotor, hammer head and other components. Driven by the motor, the rotor drives the hammer head to perform high-speed circular motion to crush the material. Its structure is relatively simple, its weight is light, and it is easy to maintain and replace parts.
Impact crusher: includes feed port, impact plate, rotor and other components. The angle of the impact plate of the impact crusher can be adjusted to optimize the crushing effect of the material. Its structural design is compact, the machine is highly rigid and has high crushing efficiency.

2. Crushing principle and appearance characteristics
Hammer crusher: The appearance is usually relatively simple, with the rotor and hammer head being more prominent. The principle of crushing is to achieve crushing by impacting, shearing and grinding the materials with a high-speed rotating hammer head. This type of crushing gives the hammer crusher an advantage when processing bulk materials.
Impact Crusher: In appearance, the impact plate is one of its distinctive features. The crushing principle is to achieve the crushing of materials through multiple collisions and counterattacks between the material and the impact plate, as well as the impact of the rotor on the material. The impact crusher usually has a higher crushing chamber and a larger feed opening to accommodate materials of different specifications.
3. Applicable scenarios and performance differences
Hammer crusher: suitable for crushing medium hardness and brittle materials, such as limestone, coal gangue, etc. It has a large crushing ratio, high production efficiency, and can directly feed aniseed materials for crushing without pre-crushing.
Impact crusher: It is more suitable for crushing high-hardness materials, such as granite, river pebbles, etc. The crushed product is in the shape of cubic particles with a very good particle shape and is widely used in various ore crushing, railways, highways and other industries.

4. Other differences
Energy consumption and wearing parts: Impact crushers of the same model are more energy-saving than hammer crushers, and the wearing parts are durable and have lower maintenance frequency.
Discharge fineness control: The impact crusher uses 2-3 cavity impact plates to adjust the gap between the rotor hammer and the rotor plate hammer to control the discharge fineness; while the hammer crusher controls the discharge fineness through the grates at the bottom of the screen. .
To sum up, there are obvious differences between hammer crushers and impact crushers in terms of appearance and structural design, crushing principles, applicable scenarios and performance. These differences give them unique application advantages in different fields and scenarios.
