What is a roller crusher? Roller crusher (also known as double-roller crusher, roller sand making machine) is a kind of mechanical equipment to achieve crushing through two oppositely rotating rollers to squeeze the material, mainly used for medium and fine crushing of medium-hardness materials (such as limestone, coal, pebbles, etc.), is widely used in the cement, metallurgy, chemical industry, electric power and building materials and other industries. 1. Core structure and working principle Basic structure Roller: the core working part, divided into fixed rollers and movable rollers, the surface can be designed as smooth or toothed (toothed roll crusher), the material should be wear-resistant. Adjustment device: Adjust the gap between the two rolls (0.5-50 mm) by wedge or shim to control the granularity of the material (e.g. if the wedge is moved up and the gap is increased, the material will become coarser). Driving system: double motor drive, through the triangle belt to drive the roller reverse rotation, some models are equipped with hydraulic spring overload protection device. Auxiliary components: support bearings, safety cover, iron removal device (to prevent damage to the roller by metal foreign objects). Working Principle The material falls into between the two rollers from the inlet,…
Roll Crusher High Humidity Material Solution Roll crusher is prone to sticking rollers, clogging, uneven discharging and other problems when dealing with viscous materials (such as clay, wet coal) or materials with high moisture content (moisture content >15%). The following are the specific operation techniques and optimisation solutions combined with industry practice: 1. Pre-treatment and feed control Moisture regulation and control Drying pre-treatment: For materials with moisture content > 20%, priority is given to drying equipment (such as drum dryer) to reduce the humidity to less than 15%. Mixing of wet and dry materials: Mix wet materials with dry materials (e.g. dry coal, limestone) in the ratio of 1:1~1:2 to reduce the overall viscosity. Heating assistance: add hot air device (temperature 80~120℃) at the feeding port to evaporate the surface moisture and reduce the adhesion. Optimisation of particle size and feed Pre-screening: Pre-screen the large materials (>300mm) to avoid jamming or roller gap extrusion splash. Uniform feeding: adopt frequency conversion feeder to control the flow rate, avoid instantaneous overloading and blockage (suggested feeding speed ≤ 80% of the rated value). 2. Equipment parameter adjustment Roll gap and pressure adjustment Expand the roller gap: for high viscous materials (such as plasticity…

The quality of roll crusher needs to be considered comprehensively from multiple dimensions such as structural design, material performance, manufacturing process, operation efficiency and after-sales service. The following are the specific evaluation points and technical basis: Quality Evaluation of Double-Roller Crushers Assessing the quality of double-roller crushers requires a comprehensive analysis of structural design, material performance, manufacturing processes, operational efficiency, and after-sales service. Below are key evaluation points with technical evidence: 1. Core Components & Material Performance A. Roller Skin Material & Wear Resistance The roller skin is the core wear part, directly impacting crushing efficiency and lifespan. High-quality crushers should use high manganese steel, alloy steel, or premium alloys, which provide hardness and wear resistance to handle high-hardness materials like steel slag (compressive strength ≤160 MPa). Inferior roller skins cause over-crushing or uneven particle sizes, compromising project quality. B. Bearings & Transmission System Gearboxes require regular gear oil lubrication, with seasonal adjustments (e.g., summer/winter oil changes). Rolling bearing temperatures must remain stable (monitored every 20 minutes until stabilized) to prevent overheating failures. 2. Structural Design & Manufacturing Precision A. Structural Stability Base components must be corrosion-free, deformation-free, and securely welded. Support brackets should be crack-free. Hydraulic systems must…
Selection of Smooth Rolls vs. Toothed Rolls for Double Roll Crushers The choice between smooth rolls and toothed rolls for double roll crushers requires a comprehensive evaluation of material properties, crushing requirements, and maintenance costs. Below are the detailed selection criteria and comparative analysis: I. Core Selection Criteria Material Hardness and Abrasiveness Smooth Rolls: Suitable for crushing high-hardness, highly abrasive materials (e.g., iron ore, quartz, cement clinker) via compression and grinding. They offer low wear rates and long service life. Toothed Rolls: Ideal for medium-hard or soft materials (e.g., coal, clay, shale). The teeth enhance crushing efficiency through shearing and splitting, but they wear faster and require periodic replacement of tooth plates. Output Particle Size Requirements Smooth Rolls: Produce finer output (1–10 mm), suitable for fine crushing applications like artificial sand production or coke crushing. Toothed Rolls: Generate coarser output (5–30 mm), ideal for medium crushing tasks such as raw coal primary crushing or middlings processing. Maintenance Costs and Durability Smooth Rolls: Feature smooth surfaces with uniform wear, resulting in lower maintenance costs and suitability for long-term, high-load operations. Toothed Rolls: Prone to tooth wear but can extend lifespan using high-manganese steel or alloy steel tooth plates. II. Other Key…

rinciple of crushing materials by roll crusher? Roll crusher has a simple structure and is used for fine crushing operation of various high and medium hardness ores and rocks in mineral processing, chemical industry, cement, refractories, abrasives, building materials and other industries. Especially in the building materials industry to produce products such as guamite and sand making, there are more excellent results than general crushing machinery. Working principle: The main parts of the roller crusher: rollers, roller support bearings, compression adjusting device and driving device are divided into components. The two rollers are equipped with wedge adjusting device, the top of the wedge device is equipped with adjusting bolt. When the adjusting bolt pulls the wedge upward, the wedge will make the rollers away from the fixed wheel. The gap between the two rollers becomes larger, and the granularity of the crushed material becomes larger. When the wedge is downward, the movable rollers under the compression of the spring the gap between the two wheels becomes smaller. And the granularity of the material becomes smaller. Gasket device is through the increase or decrease in the number or thickness of the gasket to adjust the size of the discharge particle size….
