What is a hammer crusher?

In industrial production and mining, crushing equipment is an indispensable and important tool. As an efficient crushing machine, hammer crusher is widely used in building materials, metallurgy, chemical industry, electric power and other industries. This article will introduce in detail the definition, working principle, structural characteristics, application fields and popular models of the hammer crusher to help you fully understand this equipment.

1. Definition of hammer crusher

What is a hammer crusher?

Hammer crusher is a mechanical equipment that uses a high-speed rotating hammer head to impact and crush materials. Its core features are large crushing ratio, high production efficiency and low energy consumption. It is suitable for crushing medium hardness and brittle materials.

2. Working principle

The working principle of the hammer crusher is that the motor drives the rotor to rotate at high speed. The hammer on the rotor strikes, impacts, shears and grinds the materials entering the crushing cavity under the action of centrifugal force, so that the materials reach the required particle size.

FeedMaterial enters the crushing cavity through the feed port
brokenThe high-speed rotating hammer head impacts and crushes the materials.
ScreeningThe crushed materials are discharged through the sieve plate, and the materials that do not meet the standards continue to be crushed.

3. Structural characteristics

Hammer crusher mainly consists of the following components:

Part nameFunction description
chassisProtect the internal structure and prevent materials from splashing
rotorCarrying the hammer head and providing rotational power
hammer headDirect contact with materials for crushing operations
Sieve plateControl discharging particle size
TransmissionTransmits the power of the motor to the rotor

4. Application areas

Hammer crushers are widely used in many industries due to their excellent performance:

industryApplication Notes
cement industryUsed for crushing limestone, gypsum and other raw materials
Metallurgical industryProcessing of ores, slag and other materials
Chemical industryCrushing various chemical raw materials
Electric power industryUsed for crushing coal
Building materials industryProcessing of sand and gravel aggregates for construction

5. Popular models in the market

According to recent market research, the following are several popular hammer crusher models and their main parameters:

modelProduction capacity(t/h)Motor power (kW)Feed particle size (mm)Discharge particle size (mm)
PCZ1512150-300250≤800≤35
PCZ1615200-350315≤1000≤40
PCZ1820300-500400≤1200≤50

6. Advantages of hammer crusher

Compared with other types of crushers, hammer crushers have the following significant advantages:

1.Large crushing ratio: Generally it can reach 10-25, or even higher, which can crush large pieces of materials to the required particle size at one time.

2.Simple structure: Few parts, easy maintenance and low operating cost.

3.Low energy consumption: 30%-50% more energy-saving than traditional crushers.

4.Adaptable: It can handle materials with high moisture content and is not easy to get clogged.

5.Uniform particle size: The discharge particle size can be precisely controlled by adjusting the sieve plate gap.

7. Purchase suggestions

When choosing a hammer crusher, the following factors should be considered:

1.Material properties: Including hardness, humidity, mud content, etc.

2.Yield requirements:Choose the appropriate model according to production needs.

3.Discharge particle size: Ensure that the equipment can meet the particle size requirements of the final product.

4.Equipment quality: Choose a well-known brand to ensure the service life and maintenance cost of the equipment.

5.After-sales service: Consider the supplier’s after-sales service capabilities.

8. Maintenance

In order to ensure the long-term stable operation of the hammer crusher, the following maintenance work should be done:

maintenance itemscyclecontent
daily inspectionevery dayCheck lubrication condition and fastener condition
Hammerhead inspectionweeklyCheck for wear and replace in time
Comprehensive maintenancequarterlyCheck key components such as bearings and screen plates

9. Future development trends

With the advancement of industrial technology, hammer crushers are developing in the following directions:

1.Intelligent: Equipped with sensors and control systems to achieve remote monitoring and automatic adjustment.

2.Energy saving and environmental protection: Reduce energy consumption, reduce dust and noise pollution.

3.Large-scale: Improve the processing capacity of a single machine to meet the needs of large-scale production.

4.Multifunctional: Adapt to the crushing needs of more types of materials.

5.Material innovation: Use more wear-resistant materials to extend the service life of wearing parts.

Through the above introduction, I believe you have a comprehensive understanding of hammer crushers. This equipment plays an important role in industrial production. The correct selection and rational use of hammer crushers will greatly improve production efficiency and reduce production costs.
