What Is Rock Crushing Equipment Used For?

A rock crusher is used to break down rocks into smaller pieces. You can crush the rock into pieces that are your desired product size. Rock crushers are most often used for gravel, sand, cement, mining, construction/demolition waste (such as concrete and asphalt), and industrial recycling.

Some of the most common types of aggregates in rock crushing are sandstone, gypsum, gravel, and limestone. The type of rock you plan to process and your desired product size will determine the size and model of rock crushers best suited for your application.

 

How Do Rock Crushers Work?

Typically, a hopper is used to hold and feed the rock to the mill. The rock is either gravity fed or a conveyor is used to feed the crusher. Once in the crusher, the material is broken down using a breaker plate and grinding chamber. The reduced rock exits the crusher via a conveyor belt or is discharged into a hopper.

In some applications, primary crushing alone can suffice. However, primary crushing is often followed by secondary crushing and tertiary crushing. Secondary crushing and tertiary crushing work to further reduce your material down to the exact size needed. The fineness of your final product and hardness of your feed material determines how many stages of reduction you will need.

Williams Crusher has a variety of rock crushers to help you meet any size reduction need.

 

What Type of Rock Crusher Do I Need?

The type of rock crusher required depends on moisture content, the hardness of the material, and your desired product size. Crushing may take place in one process with a single crusher. However, secondary and tertiary crushing can be used to further break your material down to the desired size. Many processing plants or rock crushing plants utilize several rock crushing stations to accommodate different material sizes and requirement.
