Our stone materials have a high moisture content. Which crusher should we use? Do you have a similar question? When producing stone materials, we often encounter issues with excessive moisture content, which can pose limitations for traditional crushing equipment. So, which crusher should we choose? Today, we will introduce the following options.
What kind of crusher is suitable for stone materials with high moisture content?
The crushers suitable for crushing wet materials are primarily impact crushers and hammer crushers. These two types of equipment are improvements based on traditional crushers and can process stone materials with a certain level of moisture content.
Impact crusher: It uses a rotor and liner plates for crushing and can produce particle sizes below 8mm with uniform discharge. Its design does not include a bottom screen or mesh, so materials with high moisture content will not cause clogging during crushing. It can operate normally even in rainy weather.
Hammer crusher: It features a grateless bar structure that allows for adjusting the gap between bars to change the particle size of the discharged material. The absence of a grate prevents clogging at the discharge outlet. Hammer crushers have a wide range of applicable materials. When processing wet materials, the rotor is equipped with a scraper system to effectively scrape off the wet materials adhering to the chamber walls and avoid blockages.
What is the maximum moisture content that wet crushing machines can handle?
Hammer crushers and impact crushers can mainly crush stone materials with moisture content of around 6%.
Hammer crusher: It can directly crush stones up to 1 meter in size into particles of approximately 25mm.
Impact crusher: It can crush stones below 80cm into particles below 10mm, and primarily produce 1-5mm manufactured sand.
How much does a wet crushing machine cost?
The price of a wet crushing machine depends on various factors such as model, manufacturer, type, and production capacity. Equipment from different manufacturers with different production capacities, models, and types can vary significantly in terms of price. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research and evaluation for specific information.
