Comparing PCZ Hammer Crusher vs. PC Hammer Crusher: Which Stone Crushing Machine is Right for You?

Hammer crusher is a stone crushing equipment that crushes and forms at one time. It is more suitable for crushing medium and soft rock materials. It is one of the commonly used crushing equipment in various sand and gravel production lines. Hammer crusher has evolved into many models in the continuous optimization and upgrading. Hammer crusher (small hammer crusher) and heavy hammer crusher are two of them. What is the difference between PCZ heavy hammer crusher and ordinary PC hammer crusher? Let's take a look below.

What is hammer crusher?

1. PC Hammer Crusher

It refers to standard crusher equipment, which is a crushing equipment that is quite different from heavy hammer crusher. It is generally some crusher equipment with relatively small output per hour. It is represented by the letter PC. It can also complete the crushing process of limestone, bluestone and other materials with a hardness of no more than 200MPA. Driven by the motor, the hammer head rotates 360 degrees to continuously hit and crush the new materials. In some stone production lines and cement concrete crushing raw material production lines, such equipment is used on a large scale.

2. PCZ Heavy Hammer Crusher

It is a high-efficiency and high-yield crusher redesigned on the basis of the original standard hammer crusher. The whole crushing chamber is evenly distributed with heavy wear-resistant linings. The single hammer head is heavy, the speed is reasonable, and the hammer head has a large moment of inertia. It fully reflects the advantages of crushing large and small and heavy and light, and has the special ability to cannibalize and crush super-large stones. The heavy hammer crusher can adjust the gap between the hammer head and the lining according to user requirements and change the particle size of the discharge to meet the different needs of different users.

The difference between them is:

1. Output

The output of small hammer crusher is 3-55t/h
The output of heavy hammer crusher is 80-3000t/h

2. Appearance

The appearance of the two equipments is easy to distinguish. The small hammer crusher is whistle-like and the whole machine is small. For example, the appearance parameters of pc1010 hammer crusher are 1800x1590x1775mm; the size of heavy hammer crusher is larger. For example, the appearance parameters of PCZ1615 heavy hammer crusher are 3371×2925×2752mm.

3. Structure

The structures of the two models are not much different. They are both composed of rotor, impact plate, casing and other parts. The main difference is the size of the crushing chamber. The crushing chamber space of heavy hammer crusher is larger than that of small hammer crusher. The material can rebound and hit multiple times during the crushing. The output and finished particle shape will be better, which is more suitable for medium and large production lines.

4. Operation site

Heavy hammer: Under the premise of ensuring that the finished product can meet the production needs, the production process is simplified, and the advantage of the heavy hammer crusher in one-time crushing and one-time forming is fully utilized for crushing operations. It has strong production capacity, high output value, good finished product particle shape, and high cost performance.

Small hammer crusher: Due to its limited production capacity, the small hammer crusher is more suitable for a production line with an output of about 40 tons per hour. The small hammer crusher is equipped with a grate structure, which can play a preliminary screening function. If the material particle shape requirements are not strict, it is not necessary to equip it with a vibrating screen. The price of a small hammer crusher is much cheaper than that of a heavy hammer crusher, ranging from 10,000 to 120,000 yuan. It is a cheap and easy-to-use crusher.
