Comparison Between Horizontal Gyratory Crushers and Traditional Gyratory Crushers

Introduction

In the field of ore crushing, gyratory crushers have always been essential equipment. With continuous technological advancements, Zhongyu Dingli has introduced the Horizontal Gyratory Crusher, a new device that significantly improves upon the traditional gyratory crusher. This article delves into the key differences between Horizontal Gyratory Crushers and Traditional Gyratory Crushers, highlighting the innovations and advantages of the new model to help you understand how it can offer more efficient solutions for your ore crushing needs.

Working Principle

Traditional Gyratory Crusher

The Traditional Gyratory Crusher uses a high-power motor to drive the moving cone to create a gyratory motion.

In the crushing chamber formed between the moving and stationary cones, the material is crushed by compression and bending.

The crushed material is then discharged from the machine based on its own weight.

Horizontal Gyratory Crusher

The Horizontal Gyratory Crusher feeds material into the crushing chamber via a plate feeder

The chamber features a screening grid to pre-screen smaller material. Large material is crushed by the gyratory roll and crushing wall.

Non-crushable material is automatically discharged through a hydraulic device that expands the discharge opening.

Design Structure

Traditional Gyratory Crusher

Complex and Tall Structure: The equipment is large and tall, making installation and maintenance more challenging.

Feed Opening: Circular design suitable for large material input, but with a more complex structure.

Horizontal Gyratory Crusher

Compact Design: Features a more compact design with reduced height, making it suitable for underground operations and space-constrained environments.

Adjustable Discharge Opening: Discharge opening is easily adjustable, with hydraulic expansion for handling blockages more conveniently.

Processing Capacity

Traditional Gyratory Crusher

High Processing Capacity: Capable of continuous crushing operation, with higher throughput for the same model.

Feed Size: Suitable for large materials, with a larger feed size.

Horizontal Gyratory Crusher

Multi-Stage Crushing: The extended crushing chamber design allows for multi-stage crushing, providing a higher crushing ratio and more uniform particle size distribution.

Pre-Screening Feature: Integrated pre-screening improves crushing efficiency and reduces unnecessary crushing.

Maintenance and Operation

Traditional Gyratory Crusher

Maintenance Difficulty: Complex structure and tall height require specialized personnel for maintenance and replacement of wear parts, which can be time-consuming.

Higher Energy Consumption: Heavier and larger equipment results in higher energy consumption.

Horizontal Gyratory Crusher

Simplified Maintenance: Optimized design makes maintenance more convenient, with easier replacement of wear parts.

Smart Control: Equipped with a smart control system for real-time monitoring and one-touch start/stop functionality.

Cost and Efficiency

Traditional Gyratory Crusher

High Infrastructure Cost: The tall and large structure increases infrastructure construction costs.

Energy Consumption: Higher energy consumption adds to operational costs.

Horizontal Gyratory Crusher

Lower Infrastructure Costs: Design reduces infrastructure costs, making it suitable for quick plant setups.

Efficient and Energy-Saving: Smart control and optimized design enhance overall efficiency, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.

Conclusion

The Horizontal Gyratory Crusher represents an innovative advancement developed by Zhongyu Dingli based on traditional gyratory crushers. With numerous improvements in design and performance, such as reduced equipment height, optimized crushing chamber structure, and enhanced smart control features, it offers significant advantages in processing efficiency, ease of maintenance, and overall cost. While Traditional Gyratory Crushers excel in handling large materials, the Horizontal Gyratory Crusher provides a more attractive option, especially in underground mining and space-constrained environments.
