Examples of vibratory crushers applications in crushing technological lines

Very fine crushing of hard and very hard materials, to product of particle size less than 2-4 mm at feed particle size of 50-200 mm, requires a very large energy inputs. This is mainly because of the need for at least three or even four degrees of crushing, containing: jaw, cone or impact crushers. One of the methods of reducing the amount of energy expended on the crushing process is reducing the number of crushers in technological line. By replacing a large number of less effective crushers with fewer machines but characterized by higher crushing efficiency we can gain considerable savings in investment and operating costs. This is possible by using crushers capable of obtaining much greater degrees of fragmentation than the aforementioned, that is vibratory crushers. The paper includes the systematic of currently used vibratory crushers, their mechanical diagrams, descriptions of the construction and operation, and basic technical parameters as well as examples of crushing technological lines utilizing vibratory crushers.
