Impact shredding

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
principle

Impact grinding is a type of grinding of solids . There are basically three different methods: material is thrown against a wall, material collides with a moving tool, or two material particles collide with each other. The material is exposed to high stress speeds (approx. 20 - 30 m / s).

When impacting against rapidly rotating tool surfaces and / or when spinning at high speed against the inner walls of the shredding machine, tool wear is generally high. That is why impact shredding is mostly used for soft to medium-hard, brittle materials. The crushing machines used are impact crushers , impact mills , hammer crushers and hammer mills .

In the case of autogenous shredding, on the other hand, material particles collide, which keeps wear very low, B. in the jet mill .

The fracture processes differ significantly from the pressure and impact comminution . The material is crushed very finely directly at the point of impact. From this point the fracture lines spread out like rays and form many medium-sized fragments and a larger residual cone. Heterogeneous materials such as ores are often crushed at the structural boundaries .
