A horizontal shaft impact crusher is a crushing equipment that breaks materials using a high-speed rotating rotor and crushing hammers. This equipment provides high efficiency in crushing medium-hard and soft materials. Horizontal shaft impact crushers can be used in primary, secondary, or tertiary crushing operations.

How Does It Work?

  1. Feeding: Material is fed into the crusher through the top feed hopper.

  2. Crushing Process: The crushing hammers on the high-speed rotating rotor rapidly move the material and strike it against fixed hammers. This impact breaks the material.

  3. Discharge: The crushed material is discharged through the bottom discharge opening.

Dimensions and Technical Specifications:
Horizontal shaft impact crushers are produced in various capacities and sizes. They generally have the following features:

  • Feed Opening: Varies between 500 mm and 1000 mm.

  • Rotor Diameter: Varies between 800 mm and 1500 mm.

  • Capacity: Ranges from 100 to 500 tons per hour.

  • Engine Power: Ranges from 110 kW to 400 kW.

  • Weight: Between 10 tons and 30 tons.

  • Dimensions (Length x Width x Height): Approximately 5m x 2m x 3m.

Applications:

  • Quarries

  • Mining sites

  • Recycling of construction and demolition waste

  • Aggregate production

Importance:
Horizontal shaft impact crushers stand out with their high crushing efficiency and low energy consumption. They also offer a wide range of applications with their flexible structure suitable for crushing different materials.
