A Vertical Type Crusher, commonly referred to as a Vertical Shaft Impact (VSI) Crusher, is a specialized machine designed for crushing and shaping materials, particularly in the mining and construction industries. It operates on the principle of high-speed impact forces to break down materials into smaller, more manageable sizes.
Key Features
High-Speed Rotor: The crusher utilizes a vertical rotor that spins at high speeds, allowing it to accelerate the material before impacting it against stationary anvils or curtains.
Versatile Material Processing: Capable of handling a wide range of materials, including hard and soft rocks, ores, and industrial minerals, making it suitable for various applications such as sand production and aggregate shaping.
Efficient Particle Shape Control: The design allows for precise control over the size and shape of the final product, producing cubical-shaped aggregates that are highly desirable in construction.
Low Maintenance Requirements: Built with wear-resistant materials, the VSI crusher is designed for durability, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Environmental Benefits: Produces less dust and noise compared to traditional crushers, contributing to more sustainable operations. It also facilitates the recycling of materials like concrete and asphalt.
Working Process
Material Feeding: Raw materials are introduced into the feed hopper.
Acceleration: The vertical rotor accelerates the material, which is then thrown against stationary anvils or rock-lined walls.
Crushing Action: The impact causes the material to break down into smaller fragments.
Discharge: The crushed material is discharged from the machine for further processing or use.
