What is the difference between a crusher and an "impact crusher"?
1 answer
Hello,
It's a matter of vocabulary
A crusher is a crusher, the two terms mean the same thing according to the dictionary. By convention we limit the use of the word crusher to minerals and dry products, and grinder and a more generic term which includes all devices used to reduce products into smaller particles, without differentiation of their origin.
An impact crusher, can be called: impact crusher, impact crusher, horizontal axis impact crusher, horizontal axis impact crusher and maybe others that I don't know.
The principle is to project incoming particles onto a rotor equipped with beaters towards projection screens.
I hope that I met your expectations
