Basic Crushing Principles in Crushing and Screening Plant

Basic Crushing Principles in Crushing and Screening Plant The ore extracted by mining should be reduced in size according to the area of use. The process of breaking the raw material extracted from the mastra into small pieces of different sizes is called crushing. In order for the crushing to take place, a force in the form of impact, shear, pressure or shearing to be applied to the raw material from the outside is applied to reduce its size. Equipment with mechanical power to provide this reduction is called crusher or crusher. Crushing by impact method occurs when the rock moving at high speed hits a fixed machine element. It is provided with horizontal shaft crushers, vertical shaft crushers and hammer crushers. Crushing by compression method takes place with the pressure between two surfaces, one fixed and the other movable, and is provided by jaw crushers and cone crushers .
