A breaker mounted on a pedestal for a crusher is typically a hydraulic rock breaker (hammer) installed on a stationary pedestal or base near the crusher feed point. This setup helps in breaking oversized rocks before they enter the crusher, improving efficiency and preventing blockages.
Key Features & Applications:
1. Purpose:
– Breaks large rocks or boulders that are too big for the crusher’s feed opening.
– Prevents bridging/clogging in primary jaw or gyratory crushers.
– Reduces downtime caused by oversized material.
2. Components:
– Hydraulic Breaker (Hammer): High-impact tool powered by hydraulic pressure.
– Pedestal Boom System: A fixed or adjustable arm holding the breaker in position.
– Power Unit: Hydraulic power pack supplying oil pressure to the hammer.
– Control System: Remote or manual operation for precise breaking..jpg)
3. Installation Types:
– Fixed pedestal near the crusher feed hopper.
– Adjustable boom-mounted breaker for flexible positioning.
4. Benefits:
– Increases crusher efficiency by ensuring consistent feed size.
– Reduces wear on crusher liners from oversized rocks.
– Enhances safety by minimizing manual hammering/jackhammer work..jpg)
5. Common Industries:
– Mining & Quarrying
– Aggregate production
– Recycling plants
Considerations When Choosing:
- Breaker size (should match rock hardness & crusher capacity).
- Hydraulic compatibility with existing systems.
- Pedestal height & reach relative to the crusher inlet.
