Introduction

Crushers are key equipment in mining and construction industries, responsible for breaking down large rocks into smaller pieces, gravel, and powdered stone. These machines are categorized into various types based on their application, design, and operating mechanisms. In this article, we examine the functionality of different types of crushers, their technical specifications, and how to choose the best option for various needs.

What is a Crusher and What is its Application?

Crushers are machines that transform mineral and construction rocks into smaller sizes. Depending on their application, these devices are used for producing construction materials, processing minerals, and separating fine and coarse rocks. In this process, industrial screens also play a crucial role in optimizing the performance of crushers.

Types of Crushers and Their Functionality

1. Vibrating Screen Crusher
   This type of crusher uses vibration to separate rocks with dimensions ranging from 350 millimeters to 500 microns. Its main feature is the easy installation and replacement of screen meshes. To enhance performance, the device is built with varying inclinations to improve material separation.

2. Grizzly Crusher
   This model is specifically designed for separating coarse materials. Its structure consists of trapezoidal cross-section grids that are wider at the top and gradually narrow down. This device is typically used before jaw crushers to separate larger particles. Due to its anti-wear steel structure, it has high resistance to impact and abrasion.

3. Rotary Crusher
   This model differs from the previous types and utilizes a rotating plate for material separation. Its operation involves a main motor rotating a perforated surface to separate materials of different sizes.

4. Steep-Slope Crusher
   In this type of device, the screen surface has an adjustable slope. When materials are placed on the inclined conveyor, larger particles move upward while smaller particles move downward. This method enables material separation based on particle size.

5. Flat-Screen Crusher
   Unlike inclined models, this type has a completely flat and horizontal surface. The flat plate contains holes of various sizes that allow smaller materials to pass through while retaining larger materials on the surface. This method is used for precise material separation based on particle size.

6. Cone Crusher
   This type of device features a conical-shaped
