One of the main objectives of the crushing process is to reduce the size of the materials or adjust them to the needs of the project in which they will be used. This requires specialized machinery with very particular characteristics and functions.
The crushing process also seeks to obtain homogeneous materials of the best quality. The way to achieve this is through quality controls.
A sample of the final products will be analyzed and its granulometry, size and volumetric weight will be verified. The results of these tests will determine if the crushed products comply with all the requested specifications.
The function of the crusher
The ball mill or crusher is essential and widely used to crush raw materials. Its main component is a cylinder with a larger diameter and smaller length that rotates by transmission machinery. The materials are placed into the cylinder through the feed opening and then it is thoroughly ground.
