Rotor centrifugal crusher (RSMX)
The selective crusher
Our rotor centrifugal crusher (type RSMX) is a high-performance vertical-shaft crusher for throughput rates of 30 to 400 t/h, depending on the model. Every single particle of the input material undergoes extreme acceleration in the patented twin-chamber rotor and is subsequently thrown against the fixed impact wall. The impact wall can consist of an anvil ring or a rock shelf. The ample size of the rotor and housing largely eliminates the risk of clogging.
Thanks to the rock-on-rock principle, only very few machine parts are susceptible to wear. As a result, the machine is suitable for very hard or abrasive recycling materials, such as glass or slag. The grading curve of the rotor centrifugal crusher remains constant even after increased wear of the crushing tools. The crushing result can be decisively influenced and optimized by selecting the appropriate rotation speed.
The RSMX rotor centrifugal crusher is typically used for crushing rocks or refining aggregate granularity (e.g., cubicity). Thanks to insights we have gained through many years of experience with these applications, the machine features an extremely rugged design and has been optimized to ensure low wear-related costs.
The rotor centrifugal crusher also has many other useful applications in the recycling industry. Thanks to its excellent resistance to wear, the crusher is suitable for all highly abrasive materials (e.g., brick, glass). When crushing glass or brick, the cubical form of the final product can be yet another advantage.
The rotor centrifugal crusher is also excellent for processing slag of all kinds, thanks to its selective crushing effect. The machine separates most metal components adhering to slag without completely destroying the slag grain size.
Selective crushing is also a well-proven solution for processing granulated asphalt materials. Aggregate chippings are largely eliminated from the bitumen without destroying the grain size. A subsequent screening process yields reusable aggregate chippings as well as a recyclable mixture of sand and bitumen.
At our BHS technical center in Sonthofen, we can perform industrial tests on customer-specific materials using the RSMX rotor centrifugal crusher. In this way, we can find solutions to even the most challenging problems.
