IMPACT Pulverizer

An impact pulverizer, also known as an impactor or impact mill, is a mechanical device used to crush and pulverize a variety of materials into fine particles. It operates by delivering a high-speed impact force to the material, causing it to shatter and break apart.

Here are the key components and features of an impact pulverizer:

Rotor: The rotor is a rotating component that contains a series of hammers or blow bars attached to it. The hammers are typically made of hardened steel and are arranged in a radial pattern around the rotor.

Impact chamber: The impact chamber is the space between the rotor and the housing of the pulverizer. The material to be pulverized is fed into the impact chamber through a feed inlet.

Grinding plates: The housing of the pulverizer contains grinding plates that line the walls of the impact chamber. These plates help to direct and control the flow of material within the chamber, ensuring maximum impact and grinding efficiency.

Drive system: The impact pulverizer is powered by an electric motor or an engine, which drives the rotor to rotate at high speed. The motor is typically coupled to the rotor through a belt and pulley system.

Discharge outlet: The pulverized material is discharged through a discharge outlet located at the bottom of the impact pulverizer. The size of the particles can be controlled by adjusting the clearance between the hammers and the grinding plates.

Impact pulverizers are commonly used in various industries for size reduction and grinding applications. Some of the materials that can be processed with an impact pulverizer include minerals, ores, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food products, and agricultural materials.

The advantages of impact pulverizers include their high-speed operation, ability to handle a wide range of materials, and relatively simple design and operation. They are particularly suitable for applications where a fine particle size is desired, such as in the production of powders or in the preparation of materials for further processing.
