How does a stone crusher work mechanically?

A stone crusher works mechanically by using compression to reduce the size of rocks and stones into smaller sizes. The stones are placed into the crusher which then uses a combination of hammers, anvils and plates to break them down into smaller pieces. This process is done in stages until the stones have been reduced to the desired size.

A stone crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, or rock dust. Crushers may be used to reduce the size, or change the form, of waste materials so they can be more easily disposed of or recycled, or to reduce the size of a solid mix of raw materials (as in rock ore), so that pieces of different composition can be differentiated.

Mechanically, a stone crusher works by using a high pressure to break down the stone material into smaller pieces. The machine is composed of a crusher, a vibrating screen, a belt conveyor and a control system that manages the flow of the material through the machine.

The crusher is typically a machine with two metal plates or jaws that form a V-shaped chamber. The top plate is fixed, and the bottom plate is moved back and forth by an eccentric drive shaft. As the stone material enters the crusher, it is broken down into smaller pieces by the movement of the bottom plate against the fixed top plate.

The broken stone then falls onto a vibrating screen, which separates it into different sizes. The larger pieces are returned to the crusher for further crushing, while the smaller pieces are sent to a conveyor belt for transport to their next destination.

The control system monitors the flow of material through the machine and adjusts the speed and direction of the conveyor belt to manage the output of the machine. This ensures that the machine is operating efficiently and that the correct amount of material is being produced.
