A Horizontal Shaft Impact Crusher (HSI) is a type of impact crusher that uses high-speed rotating rotors to break materials through impact. The rotor's horizontal position allows for a more uniform and even crushing process, especially for medium-hard and abrasive materials.

What is it Used For?

Horizontal Shaft Impact Crushers are commonly used in the construction, mining, and recycling industries for crushing rocks, minerals, and other hard materials. They are particularly effective for breaking down materials like concrete, asphalt, bricks, and stones.

How Does it Work?

  1. Feeding Unit: Large stones or minerals are fed into the crusher’s hopper.

  2. Crushing Mechanism: High-speed rotating hammers strike the material, causing it to break apart.

  3. Sizing: The materials are further reduced into smaller pieces by the continuous impact of the rotor.

  4. Exit Conveyor: The crushed material exits the crusher and is transported to the designated area.

Where is it Used?

  • Mining: Crushing medium-hard ores.

  • Construction & Road Building: Producing quality aggregates.

  • Recycling: Processing concrete, asphalt, and brick waste.

  • Quarries: Breaking down materials like limestone and dolomite.
