Advantages and Disadvantages of Impact Crusher

Impact crusher, also known as impact crusher, is a multifunctional crushing equipment widely used in many industrial fields. The following is the working principle of impact crusher:

The working principle of impact crusher is to use the high-speed rotating impact plate to impact the material block. When the motor drives the rotor to run at high speed through the V-belt drive, the material entering from the feed port collides with the plate hammer on the rotor, and is crushed by the high-speed impact of the plate hammer. The crushed material is then impacted onto the liner for further crushing, or strongly collides with the material blocks that are hit later, repeatedly subjected to strong impact in the crushing chamber, and finally discharged from the discharge port.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Impact Crusher:

Advantages
Simple structure and small size: The design of impact crusher is relatively simple, small in size and light in weight, which is easy to install and maintain.
Large production capacity: Due to its efficient crushing mechanism, impact crusher has a large production capacity and can meet the needs of large-scale production.
Adjustable discharging particle size: By adjusting the gap between the impact plate and the plate hammer, the discharging particle size can be easily controlled to meet the needs of different users.
Good crushing effect: The material after crushing by the impact crusher has uniform particle size, most of which are cubic stones, and the crushing ratio is large, up to 40, which can simplify the crushing process.
Strong adaptability: The equipment is suitable for a variety of materials, such as river pebbles, granite, basalt, etc., and has a wide range of adaptability to material hardness.
Power consumption and energy saving: The impact crusher has low power consumption in production, low overall failure rate, and long operating time, which can save energy and maintenance costs for users.

Disadvantages
High requirements for particle size: Although the impact crusher has the function of adjusting the particle size of the discharge material, it has high requirements for the particle size of the product after crushing, and the actual crushing effect may not be ideal, so it is necessary to install screening equipment, which takes up more space and equipment.
High power consumption: If power detection and maintenance are not carried out in time, the power consumption of the impact crusher may increase, resulting in reduced crushing efficiency.
Affected by the nature of the material: For materials with higher hardness, the crushing effect of the impact crusher is not good, and it may be necessary to increase the number of crushing times or use other crushing equipment.
There are many easily worn parts: The impeller, housing, hammer and impact plate of the impact crusher are very easy to wear and need to be replaced frequently, which increases the maintenance cost and the cost of use.
In summary, the impact crusher has many advantages, but also some disadvantages. When choosing to use it, it is necessary to make a comprehensive consideration based on the specific application scenarios and needs. At the same time, in order to extend the service life of the equipment and improve the crushing efficiency, the user should regularly maintain and service the impact crusher.
