Crusher or Crushing Equipment basically belongs to the mining equipment, use for compaction of objects into small pieces and sometimes into powder form. The external force implemented by crusher also compacts the mass or volume of the object. Following are the common types of crushers, let find out how they work:

Jaw Crusher is a common type crusher that is normally used for mining, quarried materials, and recycling. Jaw Crusher mainly consists of two vertical jaws and one connecting rod. One jaw is fixed and the other can move for crushing the rocks. When the object passes through the Jaw Crusher it becomes smaller and smaller and passes out from the gap. It happens because vertical jaws are farther from top and nearer from the bottom. Let's find out how Jaw Crusher works...

Cone Crusher is primarily used for ore and mineral crushing. It works with one main spindle fixed with the surface under vertical position. Spindle slightly moves from left to right, a set of jaws fixed on the top of spindle open-close one by one and make gaps through which the ore passes and get crushed before the gaps.

Impact Crusher consists of plating hammer and impact liner plate that crushes the object by impaction rather than pressure. It usually crushes the soft objects, seeds and some minerals like coals. When the object passes through the crusher cone it pressurized by the hammer connected to the rotor which hits it to liner plate and process continues to the next hammer on rotor before escaping point.
