Working Principle

VSI Series vertical shaft impact crusher operates on "stone-on-stone" and "stone-on-iron" crushing principles:

  • Material Feeding: Raw materials enter through the feed hopper and fall into the high-speed rotating impeller
  • Acceleration: Materials are accelerated to 60-75 m/s by the impeller and ejected through flow channels
  • Impact Crushing: High-speed materials impact against the lining plate (stone-on-iron) or material curtain (stone-on-stone)
  • Classification: Crushed materials are discharged through the bottom outlet, with fine particles carried by upward airflow for collection

The "stone-on-stone" mode reduces wear parts consumption and improves particle shape. The "stone-on-iron" mode increases sand production ratio and handles higher feed sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What materials can VSI crusher process?
VSI Series handles medium-hard to ultra-hard materials including river pebble, granite, basalt, limestone, quartz sand, and construction waste. Maximum feed size 35-60mm depending on model. For larger materials, pre-crushing with jaw crusher or cone crusher is required.
Q2: What is the difference between stone-on-stone and stone-on-iron crushing modes?
Stone-on-stone: Materials impact against material curtain, low wear parts consumption, excellent particle shape, suitable for shaping. Stone-on-iron: Materials impact against metal lining, high sand production ratio, suitable for sand making. VSI Series allows switching between modes by changing lining plates.
Q3: How to control finished product gradation?
Gradation is controlled by: ① Spindle speed adjustment (higher speed = finer product); ② Feed mode selection (cascade feed increases fines); ③ Screen mesh configuration. Typical manufactured sand fineness modulus 2.2-3.0 adjustable.
Q4: Is VSI crusher suitable for mobile crushing stations?
Yes. VSI-8522 and VSI-9526 are specifically designed for mobile operations with compact structure and quick installation. Widely used in construction waste recycling and temporary mining projects.

Dust Collection & Recovery Integrated Dust Removal System Reduce dust emission, recycle fine powder

Key Factors Affecting Manufactured Sand Quality in Screening

Screening has significant impact on manufactured sand quality. Three critical factors:

  • Screen Aperture Shape: Manufactured sand production contains high stone powder content with strict grade requirements. Square apertures are generally used, not rectangular or circular holes.
  • Screen Surface Inclination: For good screening effect and processing capacity, screen surface inclination is generally controlled around 20 degrees.
  • Screen Aperture Size: Determines finished product particle size distribution. Common configurations: 3.5mm, 2.5mm, 1.25mm, 0.63mm for multi-stage classification.

Recommended Screening Equipment: LF Series Thin Oil Lubrication Horizontal Vibrating Screen for large-capacity stable operation; TS Series Dewatering Screen for wet process moisture control.
