Frequently Asked Questions

A concrete crusher is primarily used in mining operations for crushing and pulverizing rocks or ores. It helps in reducing large rock pieces into smaller parts or dust to make it easier for further processing and extraction of minerals.
The machine works by using hydraulic pressure to break down large rocks into smaller, manageable sizes. The process begins when the ore is loaded into the feed hopper, from where it travels down into the crusher jaws. Here, high levels of force are applied to crush it down to a size small enough to pass through the bottom gap.
Concrete crushers can typically handle various types of materials such as granite, quartz, concrete, dolomite, bluestone, iron ore, limestone, construction waste, pebbles and more. Its flexibility allows for efficient processing of different kinds of rocks and ores in mining operations.
Using a concrete crusher has several advantages including reduction in material handling costs due to its ability to process large amounts of material at once; improvement in efficiency as crushed material is easier for further processing; decreased waste as even leftover debris can be crushed and recycled; and enhanced safety since having smaller pieces reduces risk associated with handling larger blocks.
