Crushing Equipment Supplier

Crushing Equipment is a core section of material processing systems used in fertilizer production, building materials manufacturing, and bulk raw-material preparation. This category includes machines designed to reduce particle size, break down agglomerated materials, and prepare feedstock for subsequent processes such as mixing, granulating, or drying. Within complete production lines supplied by Nantong Alisen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., Crushing Equipment is commonly applied in compound fertilizer plants, organic fertilizer facilities, and building material production systems.

1. Working Principles of Common Crushing Equipment

1.1 Chain Crusher

Principle: Material enters the crushing chamber and is impacted by high-speed rotating chains, causing fragmentation through impact and shear forces.
Applications: Suitable for brittle materials and for returning unqualified granules in fertilizer lines.
Advantages: Simple structure, uniform discharge size, continuous operation.

1.2 Cage Crusher

Principle: Two concentric cages rotate in opposite directions; material is crushed by the combined action of impact and centrifugal force.
Applications: Used extensively in compound fertilizer production.
Advantages: Fine and uniform particle size; effective for medium-hard materials.

1.3 Straw / Organic Material Crusher

Principle: High-speed blades cut fibrous or soft materials, achieving size reduction through cutting and friction.
Applications: Organic fertilizer plants, agricultural waste treatment.
Advantages: Suitable for wet or fibrous materials.

1.4 Hammer Crusher

Principle: Rotating hammers strike the material, which is then forced through screens to control final particle size.
Applications: Building materials, chemical raw materials, and general mineral crushing.
Advantages: Adjustable output size; suited for medium-hard materials.

2. Application Examples

• Compound Fertilizer Production: Crushing returned granules before re-granulation to maintain uniform particle distribution.

• Organic Fertilizer Lines: Size reduction of compost, straw, peat, and animal-based materials.

• Chemical Raw Materials: Preparation of powders before mixing or reaction processes.

• Building Materials: Particle adjustment for lime, gypsum, or clay processing.

Nantong Alisen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. integrates these machines into complete fertilizer production lines to support consistent particle quality and stable downstream processing.

4. Maintenance Guidelines

• Regularly inspect chain plates, hammers, or blades for wear to ensure stable crushing efficiency.

• Check bearing lubrication to avoid overheating and unbalanced rotation.

• Monitor vibration and noise levels to identify early signs of rotor imbalance or material blockage.

• Replace wearing parts (screens, blades, chain segments) based on actual running hours.

• Ensure stable feeding to avoid overload and maintain uniform particle size.

5. FAQ About Crushing Equipment

Q1: How to choose the right crusher for a fertilizer plant?
A: Selection depends on material hardness, moisture, and required particle size. Chain and cage crushers are common for compound fertilizer production, while blade crushers are suitable for organic materials.

Q2: Can Crushing Equipment handle materials with high moisture content?
A: Organic material crushers can process wet, fibrous materials, but other types may require pre-drying.

Q3: What is the typical particle size after crushing?
A: Most machines produce particles in the range needed for mixing and granulating, adjustable through screen sizes or rotor speed.

Q4: How does Crushing Equipment integrate into a production line?
A: It is usually positioned before mixing or granulation and after screening systems to process returned materials.
