As an important equipment in the industrial crushing field, the multi-roll crusher plays a key role in many industries by virtue of its unique advantages.

Structurally, it consists of multiple rollers arranged in parallel. According to the number of rollers, it can be divided into three rollers, four rollers and even more. These rollers rotate relative to each other through the driving device. After entering the crushing chamber, the materials are crushed due to extrusion and grinding between rollers.

The crushing performance of the multi-roll crusher is excellent. It has a large crushing ratio, which can crush large materials to a small particle size at one time, reduce subsequent processing procedures and improve production efficiency. By adjusting the roller gap, the discharging particle size can be accurately controlled, the product particle size is uniform, and the over-crushing phenomenon is less, which can meet the strict requirements of different industries on the material particle size. For example, in cement production, it can provide appropriate particle size raw materials for the subsequent grinding process, which is conducive to improving cement quality.

In terms of application range, multi-roll crusher is widely used. In the mine industry, it can be used to crush various metal ores, such as iron ore and copper ore, and non-metallic ores, such as limestone and quartz, to provide basic raw materials for subsequent processes such as beneficiation. In the field of building materials, it can handle gypsum, clay, shale, etc. to help produce cement, brick and tile and other building materials. In the chemical industry, some chemical raw materials with moderate hardness can be crushed to facilitate subsequent chemical reaction and processing. For coal, coke and other materials, it can also achieve efficient crushing.

Multi-roll crushers also have some significant advantages. It has strong adaptability to materials, and can effectively crush ores with high hardness or materials with certain moisture. With good operation stability, key components are manufactured with high-quality materials and advanced processes, which can withstand large working pressure and material impact, reduce equipment failure rate and maintenance cost. At the same time, its energy consumption is relatively low, which can effectively save energy and reduce production costs when the same crushing effect is achieved.

Multi-roller crusher also has some limitations, such as relatively high equipment investment and high skill requirements for operators. However, with the continuous progress of technology, these problems will be gradually solved, and the application prospect of multi-roll crusher in industrial production will be broader.

Multi-roller crusher is a kind of equipment that realizes material crushing through the interaction of multiple rollers. Its working principle is based on the extrusion, shearing and grinding between rollers, which can crush large materials into fine particles meeting the requirements.

Multi-roll crushers typically consist of multiple rollers arranged in parallel, mounted on a sturdy frame and driven by a drive such as an electric motor, belt or gear drive to achieve relative rotation. The material enters the crushing chamber from the feed inlet of the equipment and first contacts the uppermost roller.

When the material enters the gap between two adjacent rollers, due to the continuous rotation of the rollers, it will exert a huge extrusion force on the material. This extrusion force makes the material subject to strong compression, and its internal structure begins to crack and gradually crumble. As the roller continues to rotate, the material is continuously conveyed forward and further squeezed by the subsequent rollers. In this process, the material is not only subject to vertical extrusion force, but also shear force due to relative movement of roller. The shear force will act on the weak layer inside the material and accelerate the crushing of the material. Especially for some layered or fibrous materials, the shear effect is more obvious.

In addition to extrusion and shearing, grinding also plays an important role in the working process of the multi-roll crusher. With the multiple extrusion and shearing of materials between rollers, the particle size is continuously reduced. At this time, the friction between the roller surface and the materials is increased, and the materials are ground on the roller surface. This grinding can further refine the material particles, so that the particle size of the product is more uniform and the surface is more smooth.

In the multi-roll crusher, the rollers at different positions undertake different crushing tasks. The upper roller is mainly used for primary crushing to crush large pieces of materials into medium-grained particles; The rollers at the lower part are finely crushed to further grind the medium-grained particles into fine particles meeting the requirements. By reasonably adjusting the clearance between rollers, the discharging particle size can be accurately controlled to meet the requirements of different production processes.

As an important crushing equipment, the multi-roll crusher shows unique characteristics and obvious advantages in many industrial fields, providing efficient and reliable solutions for material crushing.

Third, there are foreign matters inside the equipment, such as hard objects such as metal blocks in the crushing chamber, which will make sharp noises when collided with the roller. Fourthly, the bearing is damaged. The bearing is an important part supporting the rotation of the roller. If it is damaged, the roller will not operate stably and generate large noise.

>What factors affect the energy consumption of multi-roll crusher?

The energy consumption of multi-roll crusher is affected by many factors. Material property is an important factor. The higher the material hardness and particle size, the more energy required for crushing and the higher the energy consumption. In terms of equipment parameters, the rotating speed and clearance of the roller and the structure of the crushing chamber will affect the energy consumption. Too high rotating speed will increase the crushing resistance and energy consumption; Too small clearance between rollers will make it difficult for materials to pass through and increase energy consumption. In addition, the load of the equipment will also affect the energy consumption. Too large or too small load is not conducive to energy conservation. Maintaining a proper load can reduce the energy consumption while the equipment operates efficiently.
