# Impact crusher
➲ Crusher body
Impact crushers are secondary or tertiary crushers that utilize high-speed impact to break down materials. The crushing chamber consists of a rotor with hammers or blow bars attached to it. As the rotor spins, the hammers or blow bars strike the material, causing it to break apart.
# CHARACTERISTICS
Higher Production Rate
Impact crushers typically have a higher production rate than jaw crushers, making them ideal for high-volume crushing applications.Smaller Particle Size
Impact crushers can produce smaller particle sizes than jaw crushers, making them suitable for applications that require finer crushing.Lower Cost per Ton
Impact crushers can achieve a lower cost per ton of material processed compared to jaw crushers, due to their higher production rates and efficiency.More Efficient Use of Energy
Impact crushers use impact force to crush materials, resulting in more efficient use of energy compared to jaw crushers.Better Control Over Final Product
Impact crushers offer better control over the final product size, making them suitable for applications that require precise particle size distribution.Less Wear and Tear
Impact crushers experience less wear and tear on the crushing surfaces compared to jaw crushers, resulting in reduced maintenance costs.Greater Versatility
Impact crushers can handle a wider range of materials and are suitable for a variety of crushing applications, including construction, mining, and recycling.Reduced Energy Consumption
Impact crushers typically consume less energy compared to jaw crushers, resulting in cost savings.Reduced Maintenance Needs
Impact crushers require less maintenance compared to jaw crushers, due to their simpler design and fewer moving parts.Reduced Wear and Tear on Feeding Equipment
Impact crushers have a large feed opening, which reduces wear and tear on the feeding equipment.Higher Capacity
Impact crushers can handle larger capacities compared to jaw crushers, making them suitable for high-volume applications.Reduced Requirements for Secondary Crushing
Impact crushers can handle larger pieces of material, reducing the need for secondary crushing and resulting in cost savings.Improved Safety
Impact crushers have safety features such as automatic shut-off systems and emergency stop buttons, which improve operator safety.Easier Cleaning
Impact crushers have a simple and open design, which makes cleaning and maintenance easier compared to jaw crushers.Reduced Dust Emissions
Impact crushers produce less dust emissions compared to jaw crushers, making them suitable for indoor or enclosed environments.Quieter Operation
Impact crushers operate at lower decibel levels compared to jaw crushers, making them suitable for use in noise-sensitive areas.Reduced Material Deformation
Impact crushers reduce material deformation compared to jaw crushers, resulting in a more consistent particle size distribution.
