The charcoal crusher is a specialized machine designed to pulverize charcoal or coal into fine powder. This machine features a two-stage crushing mechanism, robust construction, and integrated systems to ensure efficient and consistent processing. The charcoal crusher is a key machine that makes raw materials into small particles or fines for charcoal briquette production.
The Structure of Charcoal Crusher
A charcoal crusher is a specialized piece of crusher equipment designed to pulverize charcoal briquettes into fine powder. Its structure is meticulously engineered to ensure efficient, safe, and consistent crushing.
Frame and Chassis: The robust base frame provides stability and supports the entire structure of the crusher. It is made of heavy-duty steel to withstand the rigors of continuous operation. The chassis is designed to be durable and capable of withstanding the vibrations and forces generated during crushing.
Feeding System: The hopper is where the charcoal or coal are initially loaded.
Crushing Mechanism: 1. Primary Crusher: This stage involves the initial breaking down of the charcoal or coal into smaller pieces. It typically uses a combination of heavy-duty rollers or jaw crushers to apply pressure and break the briquettes. 2. Secondary Crusher: The second stage further grinds the smaller pieces into fine powder. This involves hammer mills, impact crushers, or fine grinding mills that pulverize the material to the desired particle size.
Crushing Chamber: Crusher blades are placed within the chamber to ensure efficient and effective crushing of the charcoal or coal.
Discharge System: The outlet is connected to a belt conveyor that transports the crushed charcoal or coal powder for further processing or packaging.
Motor: A powerful motor drives the entire crushing operation. The motor’s capacity is chosen based on the crusher’s size and the desired throughput.
Wheels: Wheels are mounted on the chassis to allow easy relocation within the production facility.
Locking Mechanisms: To ensure stability during operation, locking mechanisms are used to secure the crusher in place once it is moved to the desired location.
Working Principle of Charcoal Crusher
Feeding the Charcoal or Coal Manually or via Conveyor.
Primary Crushing Stage: The primary crusher applies pressure and shear forces to the charcoal or coal, breaking them into smaller chunks. This stage reduces the size of the material and prepares it for the secondary crushing stage.
Secondary Crushing Stage: The partially crushed charcoal pieces from the primary stage are fed into the secondary crushing chamber. The secondary crushing mechanism pulverizes the charcoal chunks by the hammerhead of the rotor which rotates rapidly into fine powder.
Discharge System with Conveyor Belt: The fine charcoal powder exits the secondary crushing chamber through an outlet.The outlet is connected to a conveyor belt that transports the crushed charcoal or coal powder to a collection point. The conveyor belt ensures a smooth and continuous transfer of the fine powder, reducing manual handling and increasing efficiency.
Raw Materials
Finished Product
Particle Size: The primary product of the charcoal crusher is fine charcoal powder, typically ranging from a few microns to a few millimeters in size. The exact particle size can be adjusted based on the requirements of the end-use.
Consistency: The two-stage crushing process ensures that the powder is of consistent quality and uniform particle size.
Features of Charcoal Crusher
- 1. Two-Stage Crushing Mechanism: This dual-stage approach not only enhances the crushing efficiency but also ensures that the final product meets the desired particle size specifications.
- 2. Consistent Quality: Produces uniform fine powder, ensuring high-quality output for various applications. The output fineness can be controlled below 2mm.
- 3. Adjustable Output:The crushing output particle size includes small particle size, medium particle size and large particle size. The fineness can be adjusted according to the user’s production needs.
- 4. Durable: Made from high-quality, wear-resistant steel to withstand rigorous use. Inner crushing hammer is made of high-quality alloy. So the charcoal crusher machine is resistant to corrosion and wear, and has a longer service life.
- 5. Efficient Output: Transports crushed powder via belt conveyor to the collection point, reducing manual handling and labor requirements.
- 6. Wide Range of Materials: Handles different types of charcoal and coal, including standard, lump, and agricultural waste charcoal. And it doesn’t have requirements for raw material humidity and viscosity.
- 7. Movable: This mobile charcoal crusher can be easily transported to various locations within the production facility.
- 8. Compact: This crusher machine has a compact structure, small footprint.
