Mining, aggregate and mineral processing, recycling, and other material handling plants usually need to reduce the size of their raw materials to create something sellable. Once their raw material is mined, harvested, or collected, it needs to be broken down into something closer to the end-product.
This is where crushing equipment comes in. Crushers are an important part of a full circuit material handling plant. They&#;re usually the first or second step, after the raw material arrives.
For the first installation of our Equipment 101 series, we&#;ll take a look at everything you need to know about crushing equipment. Kemper&#;s experienced team knows what it takes to turn raw material to a profitable product. Read on to learn more about how crushing equipment fits into material handling, and how Kemper can help:
In the simplest terms, crushing equipment is used to reduce the size of material into much smaller pieces. These are heavy pieces of machinery, usually part of a material handling system or plant. A rock crusher uses significant force to impact materials to the point of breaking or separating.
Most crushing equipment is designed with heavy plates or jaws used to apply pressure to whatever material have been fed into the chamber. Crushers can be smaller and portable, but are usually built into a full circuit material handling system. You&#;ll find equipment like conveyors, crushers, and screening machines at most rock quarry or mineral processing operations. These systems tend to work together to break raw material into marketable products.
Chambers with heavy, durable plates or jaws are the main components of most crushing equipment. After raw material is fed into the crusher, the plates come together to reduce the size. These heavy-duty plates move both up and down, creating enough force and pressure to reduce the size of the material significantly.
Some plants use multiple crushers to reduce the size of their raw materials. Not all crushers can handle large pieces, so a heavy-duty crusher is the first part of the material handling circuit. Jaw crushers can handle really large pieces. They&#;re used to break those large pieces into something more manageable for the smaller crushers.
If a jaw crusher is necessary, the reduced material is then fed into a finer crusher by a conveyor belt. After the secondary crusher reduces the material even more, it&#;s moved to a screening machine by another belt. The material needs to be broken into manageable pieces before it reaches the screening equipment, making crushers a vital component of production.
Crushing equipment is one of the very first steps for a variety of material handling plants, productions, and jobs. Each job starts with a different material, calling for a different type of crusher. Most crushers function in a similar fashion, but the end products are used for many different applications. Here are just a few industries that use crushers:
The mining and quarrying industry is one of the largest users of crushing equipment. Raw material is blasted or harvest from deep underground. For these materials to be profitable, they have to go through an extensive material handling system. The material is moved from the mine, fed into a crusher, than screened to separate the particles. Crushing equipment works hand-in-hand with all of the other machines to produce an end-product &#; like gravel for roads, salt for winterizing, and more.
The recycling industry also uses crushers to break down glass bottles and containers. After the glass is loaded into a special crusher, it&#;s crushed into raw material. It&#;s then melted down and repurposed into recycled glass containers, just for the process to being all over again!
Kemper&#;s team has over 30 years of experience in the material handling industry. Each crusher plays a different role in a job. It&#;s important to make sure the best crusher is used to create the desired end product. Kemper supplies and installs various types of crushers, including:

Crushers perform an important job for getting you many of the goods and services you've come to rely on, from the roads you drive on to the salt on your kitchen table. The main job of crushers is to do just that: crush rocks, stones, ore, and other raw materials into smaller sizes so they can be processed into the minerals or materials that we need. They are used extensively in recycling services in order to help us reduce and reuse materials as well, lessening our carbon footprint on society. Crushers have been around since the early 19th century and their basic design and function have not changed much, though their technology certainly has.

One of the very first types of crushers, invented in by Eli Whitney Blake, the jaw crusher is a powerful machine that is popular in the mining and ore processing industries. Primary jaw crushers are typified by their square opening design, with secondary jaw crushers usually having a rectangular design. Primary crushers take the biggest pieces of rock and break them up before they move onto secondary crushers who further break up the pieces. Jaw crushers use compression as their means of breaking up rock. Rocks are pressed up against a stationary plate to crush up the materials. These powerhouses of the crushing world can crush almost any material, including hard and soft rock. There are many different types of jaw crushers as well that are designed for very specific materials and uses. Some of these include the Blake crusher, Dodge crusher, and the Universal crusher.
Impact crushers use striking to break up raw materials instead of compression like jaw crushers use. These types of crushers are popular in all the stages of crushing, including primary, secondary, and tertiary. These crushers can break up raw materials into specific sizes. The two main types of impact crushers are horizontal and vertical crushers. Horizontal impact crushers use a hammer in its rock breaking jobs, while the vertical impact crusher uses speed to break up rocks. Rocks are thrown up against a hard surface at precise velocities in order to break them up into the desired size for their intended use.
Recent technology has improved impact crushers to the point that they can now produce aggregate suitable for construction projects, artificial sand and stone materials, and mining materials.
Invented by Charles Brown in and refined by Gates in , the gyratory crusher is another type of crusher that is used to crush extremely tough rocks that take a lot of pressure to break apart. They are popular in surface crushing screening and crushing plants. These crushers have concave surfaces and a head shaped like a cone. A mantle gyrates within a concave bowl as compressive force is applied to the rock when the mantle and the bowl meet. These crushers can crush a lot of material in a very short amount of time, and they can crush odd sizes of materials, such as slab rocks, that jaw crushers cannot due to the shape of the feed opening.
Many people get cone crushers and gyratory crushers confused because they are very similar. A cone crusher uses the same general construct of a gyratory crusher, consisting of a mantle that rotates within a bowl. However, it is not as steep as a gyratory crusher, and it has a short spindle beneath the cone. In this case, the force to break the rock up is exerted between the spindle that gyrates and the enclosed bowl liner. The cone crusher breaks up larger pieces of materials into gradually smaller pieces as they make their way through the machine. This process continues perpetually until the pieces are small enough to fall out at the bottom of the crusher. You'll find cone crushers in mining, aggregate, and recycling applications.
Mobile crushers are track-mounted rock-crushing machines that are easily moveable on and between production sites. They are widely used in aggregate production, recycling applications, and in mining operations. Mobile crushers can replace stationary crushing systems, which reduces the need for hauling, and thus cuts operational costs.
Metso offers mobile cone crushers, impact crushers, and jaw crushers. The basic components are almost the same as stationary ones, but with the added advantage of complete mobility - even as steep as 1:10 incline.
Crushing and screening equipment have contributed to the relatively-easy life we lead right now by making the minerals and materials we need to access from rock much easier. The sheer volume of work that crushers and screeners can perform is truly mind-boggling, and watching a well-run mining operation is something everyone should see in order to gain an appreciation for its sheer magnitude. Crushers are making waves in the recycling world as well, as more people have realized the necessity and the cost-effectiveness of recycling over sourcing new raw materials. As technology increases, so too, does crushing and screening equipment.
