If you are in the market for a crusher machine, you need to know how to choose the best one. There are several characteristics you need to consider when looking for your primary crusher. These characteristics will help you narrow down your potential choices and purchase a primary crusher machine that works for your business.
The Mobility
One of the first factors to consider when choosing a crusher machine is the mobility. Stationary crushers have the advantage of being sturdier and more stable than mobile crushers(trituradoras móviles). The primary issue is that the stationary crushers have to be on your business premises and this does not always work for all businesses.
Mobile crushers are can be taken to work sites and used there. This will reduce the transportation of raw materials and only the crushed materials will be moved. There are different types of mobile crushers that you need to be aware of including wheeled crushers and crawler crushers. Crawlers will generally be more compact and weigh less than the wheeled ones and have been designed to move around constantly.
While the crawler(la oruga) is smaller than the wheeled crusher, both will be larger than many stationary crushers. This is due to the additional parts mobile crushers need. The will have a hopper and conveyer to feed the crusher as well as a second conveyor to remove the crusher materials.
The Materials Being Crushed
The next factor that you have to consider is the material you will be crushing. The hardness and abrasiveness of the material will impact the type of crusher you need to get. The maximum force required to break the materials will need to be evaluated and you need to get a crusher that provides this.
Most crushers on the market will focus on one type of material. Stone crushers cannot generally be used for crushing other materials. However, there are other primary crushers such as jaw crushers that can handle different materials like stone and recycled concrete(hormigón reciclado).
The Capacity
The capacity of the crusher has to be taken into account before you purchase one. This will be the throughput or processing capacity. This capacity will be measured using tons per hour. The capacity you look for should correspond to the needs of your business.
There is no point in purchasing a primary crusher that is unable to meet the needs of your business. Small capacity crushers are better for smaller businesses or businesses that do not use the crusher in their regular operations. If your business will regularly use the crusher, you need a larger capacity.
When considering the capacity, you should not overestimate your needs. Larger capacity crushers will be more expensive and you do not want to pay for capacity that you never use. This will reduce the financial viability(viabilidad financiera) of the machine.
There are many factors that you need to consider when choosing a primary crusher machine. The most important tip to use when choosing is to know the needs of your business. You can then find a machine that matches these needs.
