The principle of a hammer crusher is based on the impact and shearing forces generated by the rapidly rotating hammers which strike on the material. The material is crushed by the impact force generated by the hammers. The crushed material is then thrown against a surrounding surface where it breaks into smaller pieces. The size of the pieces depends upon the speed of the hammers and the strength of the material which is being crushed.
A hammer crusher, also known as a hammer mill, is a machine used to shred or crush materials into smaller pieces. The basic principle of this type of crusher involves a rotating shaft on which free-swinging hammers are mounted. The hammers are free to swing on the ends of the cross, or fixed to the central rotor.
As the rotor rotates, the hammers swing inward and outward, striking the material being crushed against a series of anvils, screens or grates located at the bottom of the crusher. The material is broken down into smaller pieces as it is repeatedly struck by the swinging hammers.
The size and shape of the finished product depend on the size of the openings in the screens or grates and the speed at which the rotor is rotating. Hammer crushers are commonly used in the mining, cement, and construction industries for reducing the size of materials such as limestone, coal, and other minerals.
