VSI vertical impact crusher improves end product and reduces cost

VSI vertical crushers are the solution for the mining industry in the production of fine-grained material. These machines are used, among other applications, in the third or fourth stages of a quarry line.

Basically, the operating principle is simple: when activated, they throw particles against each other (autogenous principle), or against steel structures.

The final product is more cubic stones such as rock powder, sand and aggregates for applications in concrete and asphalt, among others. In general, the main factor in selecting a rock-to-rock or steel-to-steel model is the abrasiveness of the processed material.

Stay with us until the end and find out how Máquinas Furlan's vertical crushing and impact line helps quarries and miners reduce their production costs and deliver better quality and cubic material.

Learn about the types of vertical crushers in mining

In vertical crushing, one of the criteria for selecting the type of VSI is to check the abrasiveness of the rock to be processed. Typically, rock-to-rock VSI is used on abrasive materials, while steel-to-steel processes less abrasive materials.

The application of impact crushing techniques in mining basically involves two important points:

. quality and granulometric curve of the final product;

. and cost reduction.

Of course, there are other factors, but Máquinas Furlan has broadened its focus on these two items in its projects as a way of generating better results for its customers. The market closely monitors the quality of the product received from the mining company or quarry, in terms of shape and granulometric curve.

Any changes to what was agreed upon cause stress for the supplier, with questions that often make it impossible to continue the contract between the parties.

At the same time, Furlan saw cost reduction as a win-win for its customers. In the Furlan line, electricity consumption is more efficient.

In the case of wear materials, the reduction is due to greater ease in scheduled part changes. Therefore, the quarry is down for less time.

Improve the cubicity of the final product and invest in the quality of the parts

Máquinas Furlan developed its vertical crushing equipment with the final product in mind. Both the rock-to-rock and steel-to-steel models generate fines with excellent cubicity.

They are high-performance machines for low-abrasive rocks, with a wide drive capacity, with powers of up to 700 hp, which allows the generation of high-specification aggregates.

The projects also followed a Furlan differential in another area: the greater durability of wear parts. They are produced in a special steel alloy developed internally by the company, designed based on the rock existing at the client's plant.

Therefore, the equipment has a longer useful life, improving the cost-benefit of the investment – ​​when compared to the market.

Here on the blog, we talk about the parts that need to be monitored in a mining plant. in this post .

The different settings are another Furlan differential. Operators find several power options and adjustments in the rotation variation, in addition to the impellers – which are important components in VSI.

The equipment has lower energy consumption per ton produced and a higher reduction rate of processed material – when compared to similar models offered on the market. Everything is done safely for operators.

These are Furlan equipment that are easy and quick to maintain. One of the points praised by operators is the easy access to the internal components. This is achieved by opening the top cover, which is facilitated by a hydraulic system.

The main bearing (“pedestal”) remains constantly cooled and lubricated through an innovative oil circulation process.

Furlan also offers optional extras, such as a metal base with a maintenance platform and a discharge spout for assemblies, on the bases, which can be fixed, semi-mobile or mobile.

Our website provides more technical details. This is the rocha-rocha page ; and here the steel-steel models page .

We also offer items for other stages of processing, such as screens, vibrating feeders and crushers.

“What information do I need to make the best choice?”

So, it's time for you to schedule a meeting with the Furlan team to talk about your projects. Basically, the information that this team will ask for in order to prepare a quote is:

. material to be processed;

. the maximum size in the feed;

. the desired production;

. and the desired products.
