The differences Between Impact Crusher And Hummer Crusher
Impact crusher can be used to crush both of the soft material and the very large hardness material. When the rotor moves, the plate hammer which is fixed to the rotor and designed to adopt the mechanical firm structure can get more force from the rotator. Compared with the hammer crusher, the rotor of impact crusher is more suitable to crush the more hard material and saving energy.
The size of the discharging particle's adjusting range of the impact crusher is large, and it can be adjusted very simply. There are several ways to adjust the discharging particle of impact crusher, such as adjust rotor speed, impact plate and the space of grinding cavity and so on. We can adjust the size of the gap through mechanical or hydraulic way. Compared with the hammer crusher, the impact crusher have fewer wear-resistant parts and higher use ratio of metal.
The cost of maintenance of the impact crusher is low since the replacement of spare parts is very simple. There are six plates hammers those were installed on the rotor. If we need to replace a set of plate hammer, it will only costs our few minutes. On the contrary, the hammer crusher has more than 100 pair of hammers, so it will really need lots of time to replace a set of hammer. At the same time, the hammer crusher costs higher when it needs inspection and maintenance .

Different Ways to Use Recycled Concrete
Paths and Walkways
Broken-up pieces of sidewalk or used concrete paving stones can be used to build new paths and walkways around your home and yard. Whenever possible, try to acquire pieces from a single demolition to build your new project; such pieces are more likely to be a uniform thickness, making them easier to handle and work with. Walkways made from separate pieces of reclaimed concrete provide numerous gaps for rain water to filter into the soil, reducing the quantity of potentially-harmful runoff from your property into storm drains.
Aggregate and Drainage
Sometimes, recycled concrete is more useful in small pieces than in large ones. Many municipalities or counties have companies that recycle old concrete into gravel-sized pieces. These can be purchased inexpensively and reused as aggregate for new poured-concrete projects. They're also a good alternative to gravel as a drainage material in wet areas. Dig a trench through the area of your yard where water most often pools, and fill it with broken-up concrete surrounding a perforated PVC drainage pipe. Cover the pipe with more concrete and replace the soil. Be sure to check local drainage regulations before undertaking such a project.
As a leading manufacturer of crusher and screen, SANME has always been acting as a guiding role in the field of crusher and screen based on its vigorous research ability and modernized craft.

The working manner of this series crushing machine is dynamic extrusion type, and its working principle goes like this: the electro motor drives the belt and belt wheel to make the movable jaw to move up and down through the eccentric shaft, and then movable jaw goes up, the angle between the toggle pate and the movable jaw is bigger, thus pushing the movable jaw to get close to the fixed jaw, and at the same time, the materials are crushed or smashed, thus reaching the goal of crushing; when the movable jaw goes down, the angle between the toggle pate and the movable jaw is smaller, under the effect of the draw bar and the spring, the movable jaw moves always from the fixed jaw, and then the crushed materials will be discharged out from the lower mouth of the crushing chamber. With the continuous rotation of the electro motor, the movable jaw of the crusher will do periodic motion to crush and discharge the materials, thus realizing mass production.
The performance advantages of jaw crushers lie in: the crushing chamber is deep and without dead zone, thus improving the feeding capacity and output. The crushing ratio is big and the product granularity is even.
