A good quality stone crushing line that incorporates a used impact crusher can be an efficient and cost-effective solution for producing aggregates, especially if you’re working with a limited budget. Here’s what you need to consider:
Key Components of a Stone Crushing Line
1. Primary Crusher (Jaw Crusher or Gyratory Crusher) – Breaks down large rocks into smaller pieces (~6-12 inches).
2. Secondary Crusher (Impact Crusher or Cone Crusher) – Further reduces material size (~1-3 inches).
3. Tertiary Crusher (Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher – VSI) – Optional, for shaping fine aggregates.
4. Vibrating Screens – Separate crushed stones into different sizes.
5. Conveyor Belts – Transport material between stages.
6. Dust Suppression System – Reduces airborne particles.
Why Use a Used Impact Crusher?
✅ Cost Savings – Lower initial investment compared to new equipment.
✅ Quick Deployment – Faster setup if the machine is in good condition.
✅ Proven Performance – If well-maintained, used impact crushers can still deliver high-quality output.
What to Check When Buying a Used Impact Crusher
🔹 Wear Parts Condition (blow bars, aprons, liners)
🔹 Rotor Integrity (cracks or excessive wear)
🔹 Engine/Hydraulic System Health
🔹 Maintenance History & Service Records
🔹 Production Capacity Matches Your Needs
Best Applications for Impact Crushers
✔ Soft to medium-hard stone (limestone, dolomite)
✔ Recycling applications (concrete, asphalt)
✔ Producing cubical-shaped aggregates
Recommended Setup with Used Impact Crusher
1. [Primary Jaw Crusher] → [Used Secondary Impact Crusher] → [Screen] → [Final Product]
2. Optional: Add a tertiary VSI crusher for better shaping..jpg)
