Impact Crusher: Product Size Control and Feed Optimization

Impact crushers are pivotal in aggregate production lines, offering high reduction ratios and cubic-shaped output. The final product size is primarily determined by rotor speed, feed size, and impact plate adjustment.

Key Parameters for Performance

Model Max Feed Size (mm) Output Size (mm) Capacity (t/h)
PF-1010 350 0-60 (adjustable) 50-90
PF-1214 400 0-80 (adjustable) 100-180
PF-1315 500 0-100 (adjustable) 150-300

Feed Management Best Practices

1. Uniform Feeding: Use vibrating feeders to prevent uneven wear.
2. Pre-Screening: Remove fines (<30mm) to reduce recirculation.
3. Moisture Control: Keep feed moisture below 8% to prevent clogging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How to achieve finer output?

A: Increase rotor speed (+10% RPM typically reduces output by 15%) or decrease discharge gap.

Q: Why does capacity drop suddenly?

A: Check for worn blow bars (replace if thickness <30% of original) or feed segregation.
