You need to know about types of limestone crushers

1.Introduction to Limestone Crushers

Limestone crushers are used to break down limestone into smaller pieces to make it easier to process and transport. The normal limestone crusher are limestone jaw crusher, limestone impact crusher, limestone cone crusher, limestone sand making machine, limestone mobile crusher.

2.Properties and Characteristics of Limestone

Limestone is used extensively in road and building construction, and is a material found in aggregate, cement, building stones, chalk, and crushed stone. For example,

0.075 mm to 4.75 mm (Fine Aggregates): Used in making concrete, mortar, plaster, and for filling gaps. 
4.75 mm to 19 mm (Pea Gravel and Crushed Stone): Used in concrete mixes, road construction, pathways, and decorative applications. 
19 mm to 37.5 mm (Coarse Aggregates): Used in structural concrete, road bases, and railway ballast. 
25 mm to 37.5 mm (Large Coarse Aggregates): Used in heavy-duty concrete structures and road construction.

3.Types of Limestone Crushers

3.1.Jaw Crushers

Jaw crusher is an indispensable equipment in limestone crushing. It is mainly used as a coarse crushing equipment. It is responsible for the first crushing in the sand and gravel production line. In the limestone aggregates production line, the material needs to be crushed into qualified particles. Limestone jaw crusher has a simple structure, low cost, large swing angle, low suspension, short lining, and a large crushing ratio. It is a widely used limestone crusher.

3.2.Impact Crushers

Impact crusher is mainly used in sand and gravel aggregate production. It is used for the production and shaping of limestone coarse aggregate. In a conventional limestone crushing production line, there is usually an impact crusher. The impact crusher crushes the material by hitting the hammer head and the rebound of the impact plate. It has high crushing efficiency and good particle shape.

3.3.Cone Crushers

Cone crusher is also used in limestone crushing. Whether it is harder limestone or softer limestone, it can be crushed easily with high efficiency. The advantage of using cone crusher as limestone crushing equipment is that it has less dust and less fine powder content. It is more suitable for manufacturers who do not need mineral powder. The disadvantage is that except for the HPT multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher, the particle shapes of other cone crushers are not satisfactory, and a shaping machine part needs to be added. This kind of limestone crusher is suitable for some users with economic strength, and can greatly release production efficiency.

3.4 Vertical Shaft Impact crusher (VSI sand making machine)

The VSI crusher sand making machine is a tertiary crushing equipment. It is the main equipment in the field of artificial limestone sand making and stone shaping. The unique crushing process, that is, rock-vs-rock crushing process, makes the end products cubical to well fit the production needs of concrete.

3.5 Mobile limestone crusher

There are many types of limestone mobile crushers. Common limestone mobile crushers include mobile impact crusher, mobile cone crusher, mobile jaw crusher, mobile fine crusher, etc.

The complete mobile ( or portable) limestone crushing plants are combination of feeding hopper, grizzly feeder, by-pass conveyor, limestone crusher, vibrating screen, stockpile conveyors, mobile chassis and automation system.

The main outstanding advantage of mobile limestone crusher is its convenient mobility. The crushing and screening plant can be moved at any time according to processing requirements.

People Also Frequently Asked For - FAQ

1.Is limestone easy to crush?

Limestone is an easy to crush sedimentary rock that is a soft to medium-hard. Crushed limestone has a variety of uses from dense graded aggregates (DGA) to aggregates for concrete and asphalt materials.

2.What is limestone crusher?

Limestone crushers work by applying pressure to the material to reduce it in size. There are several types of limestone crushers, including: 1. Jaw crushers: Jaw crushers are the primary crusher used in limestone processing. They use compressive force to break the material into smaller pieces.
