How effective is the shaping capability of impact crushers

Impact crushers primarily rely on the rotational impact of impact plates to achieve crushing, representing a typical impact-type crushing device. They are frequently employed as secondary crushing equipment for mineral materials. The finished product particle shape from impact crushers is also quite favourable. As material undergoes repeated impact between the impact plates and counter plates, it also collides repeatedly with other particles. This achieves crushing while simultaneously ensuring favourable particle shape. The finished product exhibits a cubic form, free from internal tension and cracks, resulting in high quality.

Furthermore, while the impact crusher excels at shaping, its sand-making capability is rather limited. It is seldom employed for fine crushing or sand production, with a maximum feed size of ≤1300mm. It handles large feed volumes, typically producing output of ≤60mm aggregate. It is primarily suited for intermediate crushing and shaping of medium to low-hardness materials, yielding well-graded, uniformly sized, aesthetically pleasing aggregate.

The pricing of sand-making and shaping machines primarily depends on their design orientation—whether prioritising sand production, shaping, or both. Specific costs correlate with functional specifications, output capacity, and manufacturer factors. Regarding impact crusher pricing: currently available models comprise the PF and PFW series, each offering numerous variants. Generally, higher output capacities command greater prices.
