Our EV Hammer Impact Crusher maximises crushing of large feed blocks
What we offer
Our highly-effective EV Hammer Impact Crusher offers prime crushing
Many cement plants extract limestone by blasting, which often leads to oversized boulders containing a lot of clay and sand. The crusher therefore has to handle feed that contains larger blocks as well as some sticky materials. Our EV Hammer Impact Crusher is a proven, reliable and cost-effective impact crusher that help to overcome these crushing challenges.
Combatting large feed block challenges
In traditional hammer crushers with a top inlet, introducing large blocks in the feed can impede the action of the hammers and block the crusher. Our EV Hammer Impact Crusher, however, competently reduces quarry-size limestone boulders measuring up to 2.5 metres and weighing up to 5 tonnes to mill feed of 25 millimetres. This is a reduction ratio of 1:100 in a single operation.
The EV Hammer Impact Crusher features a highly effective two-stage crushing process. Primary crushing takes place by impacting. Secondary crushing takes place by shearing and compression between the impact hammers and the breaker plate and between the hammers and the outlet grate. This ensures that even the smallest particles absorb energy and that no oversized particles leave the hammer impact crusher. The horizontal feed system can also tolerate coarse feed blocks because of its shock-absorbing inlet rollers.
The EV Hammer Impact Crusher’s throughput capacities range up to 2200 tonnes per hour (tph) with an outlet grate and 2500 tph without an outlet grate. Motor sizes are typically in the range of 500 - 2500 kW.
Hammers take centre stage
The hammer rows, which can vary depending on your crushing capacity needs, are arranged to provide complete coverage across the outlet grate. By arranging them in this way, the raw material can be crushed at multiple points increasing overall efficiency.
The symmetrically-shaped hammers are free to pivot around the bolts, reducing the impact from the contact between material and hammers, thereby protecting the rotor and crusher housing.
Adjustment of the spacing between the hammers, breaker plate and outlet grate can be optimised to compensate for hammer wear. Even when the hammers lose up to 30 percent of their original weight, the required product size curve is unaffected.
Grate expectations
The adjustable outlet grate gives the EV Hammer Impact Crusher control of the maximum size of the product. The grate ensures a consistent flow to the conveyor and protects it against any sudden impact of material leaving the impact crusher at high speed. The grate also protects other nearby machinery from being damaged during operation.
The hold-up mechanism of the outlet grate generates a crushed product with a relatively high proportion of fines. In this way, more of the comminution work is moved from the less energy-efficient raw mill to the more energy-efficient hammer impact crusher.
