How Often To Adjust Impact Crusher Discharge Size?

The frequency of adjusting the size of the discharge port of an impact crusher is not fixed, but is affected by a variety of factors such as material properties, production requirements, and equipment conditions. The following is a detailed introduction:

1.Stone Material Properties

1-1.Hardness and abrasiveness: If the stone material being processed has high hardness and strong abrasiveness, such as quartz stone and corundum, the discharge port parts will wear quickly. In order to ensure product particle size and production efficiency, frequent inspections and adjustments are required, perhaps once a week or every two weeks. For materials with low hardness and weak abrasiveness, such as limestone, the discharge port wears slowly, and the adjustment frequency can be reduced to once a month or several months.

1-2.Humidity and viscosity: Materials with high humidity and strong viscosity tend to adhere to and block the discharge port, and require more frequent cleaning and adjustment, perhaps once every few days. Dry and loose materials have little effect on the discharge port, and the adjustment frequency is relatively low.

2.Aggregates Production requirements

2-1.Product particle size requirements: Production has strict requirements on product particle size, and frequent inspections and adjustments of the discharge port are required to ensure that the particle size meets the standard. If aggregates materials are produced, it may be necessary to check and adjust every day or every shift; if the particle size requirements are loose, such as gravel production for road base, the adjustment frequency can be reduced.

2-2.Output changes: When the output increases or decreases significantly, the size of the discharge port needs to be adjusted to ensure the crushing effect and equipment operation efficiency. Frequent changes in output will increase the adjustment frequency accordingly.

3.Impact Crusher condition

3-1.Equipment aging degree: New equipment components have high precision and slow wear, the size of the discharge port is relatively stable, and the adjustment frequency is low. Old crusher needs to be adjusted more frequently due to component wear and deformation, and may need to be checked and adjusted every once in a while.

3-2.Replacement cycle of wearing parts: The wear of the discharge port related wearing parts such as lining plates and blowbars to a certain extent will affect the size of the discharge port and the crushing effect. The discharge port needs to be checked and adjusted at the same time when the wearing parts are replaced. Its replacement cycle determines part of the adjustment frequency.
