P&Q University Lesson 7: Crushing & Secondary Breaking

A gyratory crusher uses a mantle that gyrates, or rotates, within a concave bowl. As the mantle makes contact with the bowl during gyration, it creates compressive force, which fractures the rock. The gyratory crusher is mainly used in rock that is abrasive and/or has high compressive …

Microstructure of quarry rocks and relationships to particle …

However, only limited work has been carried out that sheds light on the role of microstructure on particle breakage and crushing response of rocks. The paper …

Dust emission from crushing of hard rock aggregates

In quarries operating with secondary crushing, the background concentrations were achieved approximately from a 350 m distance for coarse particles. Local dust …

Understanding the Different Types of Crushers

Selecting an appropriate crusher, or indeed any piece of processing equipment, is important in every quarry operation. Understanding what each crusher type is used for and knowing some …
