A gyratory crusher is typically used to create railway ballast. This type of crusher consists of a large cone-shaped crushing head, which rotates eccentrically inside a crushing chamber. The gap between the crushing head and the inner wall of the chamber can be adjusted to regulate the size of the crushed material.
Railway ballast is typically created using a jaw crusher or a cone crusher. Jaw crushers are often used for primary crushing, while cone crushers are used for secondary crushing. The material is initially crushed by the jaw crusher and then further reduced by the cone crusher to the desired size for railway ballast. The resulting material is typically angular in shape, with a range of particle sizes that help provide stability and drainage to the railway track.
Here's some more information on the types of machines commonly used to create railway ballast:
Both jaw crushers and cone crushers are widely used in the production of railway ballast. The choice of machine depends on the specific requirements of the project, including the size of the material, the desired shape of the final product, and the capacity of the production line.
