Advantages of Box-Type Breaker Design in Impact Crushers

Why Do Traditional Crushers Fail You?

You might see profits drop. Why does this happen? Old crushers often have small feed openings. They cannot handle big rocks. The rock gets stuck. This causes downtime. We hate downtime.

Another issue is the shape. If you sell aggregate, shape matters. Flaky stones are bad for concrete. Old machines make flaky stones. They rely only on squeezing the rock. The Box-Type design is different. It hits the rock. It uses energy to break rock on natural lines.

Pain Point Solved:

Are you tired of unshaped stones? The Box-Type design fixes this. It creates cubic products. This meets highway standards. Buyers like cubic stones. You can sell for a higher price.

Understanding the Box-Type Design Principle

What is a Box-Type design? Imagine a strong steel box. Inside is a heavy rotor. The rotor spins fast. The box covers the rotor tight. This is not just a cover. It is part of the crushing action.

How it works:

1. Feeding: Material enters the big top opening.

2. Impact: The blow bars hit the rock. This is the first break. Kinetic energy transfers here. $E = 1/2 mv^2$. High speed means high energy.

3. Rebound: Rock flies to the impact plates. These are the “walls” of the box. The rock breaks again.

4. Internal Collision: Rocks hit other rocks. This is stone-on-stone crushing.

This design keeps rocks inside longer. They break fully. The “Box” shape allows for larger impact curtains. This controls the output size. It is simple physics. But it works great.

Key Technical Parameters Explained

You need to know the numbers. We are a manufacturer. We know what matters. Here are the terms you must know.

1. Reduction Ratio:

This is Input Size vs Output Size. Box-Type crushers have high ratios. Often 15:1 or more. A jaw crusher is only 5:1. Why? Because of the high-speed impact. You can skip secondary crushing sometimes.

2. Tip Speed:

This is how fast the blow bar spins. It is measured in meters per second (m/s). For hard rock use 30-35 m/s. For soft rock use 40 m/s.Why? Faster speed makes finer output. Slower speed makes less fines.

3. OSS and CSS:

Open Side Setting (OSS) and Closed Side Setting (CSS). These set the gap between rotor and curtain.Why? Adjusting this changes stone size. In Box-Type, this adjustment is usually hydraulic. It is fast.

Is Your Motor Power Wasted?

Many mines waste power. They use motors that are too big. Or too small. The Box-Type design uses inertia. The rotor is heavy. Once it spins, it keeps spinning. This is momentum.

We match the motor carefully. If the rock is soft limestone we use less power. If it is basalt we use more. A heavy rotor stores energy. It acts like a flywheel. This smoothes out power peaks. You save on electricity bills.Why? Because the motor does not fight every single rock. The inertia helps break the rock.

Case Study 1: Limestone Quarry in Vietnam

Background:

A client in Vietnam had a problem. They processed limestone. Their old machine was slow. The output was flaky. They needed high-quality aggregate for road base.Climate: Humid and rainy. Sticky material.

ZENITH Solution:

We installed a Box-Type Impact Crusher. Model: ZENITH PF-1315.Equipment List:Vibrating FeederPF-1315 Impact Crusher (Box Design)Vibrating Screen

The Result:

The feed size was 500mm. Output was 0-20mm. The shape was perfect cubes.Customer Voice: “The installation was fast. We liked the hydraulic opening. Changing blow bars took 2 hours. Before it took 8 hours.”The production went up 30%. The power cost went down. This is a verified result. Data is from site logs 2024.

Why is the Structure “Box” Better for Maintenance?

Maintenance is a pain. Nobody likes it. In old designs you crawl inside. It is dangerous. It is dark.

The Solution:

The Box-Type has a hydraulic opening. The rear frame opens up. Like a car hood. You see everything.Why? You can see the blow bars. You can see the liner plates. You can turn the blow bars over.This saves labor costs. We design for humans. Not just for rocks. Safe and fast.

Real Project Data: River Stone in Nigeria

Challenge:

River stone is hard. It has silica. Silica wears out steel fast. The client worried about cost. They asked: “Will I lose money on parts?”

ZENITH Approach:

We used High Chrome blow bars. We adjusted the CSS larger. This reduces grinding. We used a heavy-duty Box-Type crusher.Configuration:Primary Jaw Crusher -> ZENITH Box Impact Crusher -> Screen.

Outcome:

The client was happy. The box structure absorbed the shock. The frame did not crack. The wear cost was acceptable. The stone sold for premium price.

How to Select the Right Model? (Decision Tree)

Do not guess. Use logic. Follow this path to choose.

1. Check Material Hardness: Is it soft (Limestone) or hard (Granite)?If Hard: Use Jaw + Cone. Maybe Impact for shaping.If Soft: Use Box-Type Impact as Primary.

2. Check Feed Size:If > 800mm: Use big Jaw first.If < 500mm: Box-Type Impact can handle it directly.

3. Check Output Requirement:Need Cubes? You MUST use Impact Crusher.Need Sand? Use VSI Crusher.

Why this matters:

Choosing wrong kills profit. We help you choose. We calculate the balance. We look at your site. We are experts.

Cost and ROI Analysis

We do not give exact prices here. Every project is different. But we look at ROI. Return on Investment.

Initial Cost: Box-Type is often cheaper than Cone.Running Cost: Wear parts cost money. But power is lower.Profit: Cubic stone sells for more.So. if you sell quality stone. The ROI is fast. Usually 6-10 months.Why? Because the product value is higher.

Q&A: Addressing Your Pain Points

Q1: Will the machine clog if it rains?A: This is a common fear. Box-Type design helps. It has no grate bars at the bottom. Gravity helps material fall. If wet dirt enters. It falls through. It does not pack.Solution: We can add heating to liners if needed. But usually. The design clears itself.

Q2: Are the wear parts expensive?A: Quality costs money. But cheap parts fail fast. We use high chrome alloy. We use manganese steel.Solution: You can flip the bars. Use both sides. This doubles the life. We supply OEM parts. They fit perfect.

Q3: Can I adjust the output size easily?A: Yes. You do not need tools. You use the hydraulic switch. It moves the impact rack.Why? This changes the gap. Closer gap = smaller stone. Wider gap = bigger stone. It takes 10 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the max feed size for your PF series?It depends on the model. Our biggest can take 700mm-800mm rocks. Small ones take 300mm. Check the spec sheet.

2. Can this crush concrete with rebar?Yes. It is great for recycling. The impact breaks concrete. The rebar comes out clean. We fit a magnet belt to remove iron.Why? The large space allows iron to pass.

3. How long does shipping take?We have stock for standard models. Custom ones take 30 days. We ship globally.
