Chain crusher is a commonly used crushing equipment in the production line of chicken manure organic fertilizer. It is mainly used to crush dried chicken manure cakes, fermented lumps or other organic materials into small particles or powders suitable for granulation, in order to improve the efficiency of organic fertilizer production and the quality of the products. Below is a detailed explanation of the working principle of the chain crusher:
working principle
The core component of a chain crusher is a rotor composed of high-speed rotating chains, which are fixed to a spindle driven by an electric motor and rotate at high speed. When the material enters the crusher chamber, it is subjected to the impact and shear force of the high-speed moving chain, and the large blocks in the material will be quickly crushed. At the same time, collisions between materials and between materials and the inner wall of the machine body will further refine the materials until the desired particle size distribution is achieved.
Key components
Chain: Made of wear-resistant materials with various shapes, commonly including flat chains, toothed chains, etc. Their design purpose is to increase the contact area with the material and improve crushing efficiency.
Rotor: composed of multiple parallel arranged chains, driven by the main shaft to achieve high-speed rotation.
Body: usually cylindrical in shape, with lining plates inside to protect the machine body from wear and tear, and also an important interface for material crushing.
Sieve: located at the bottom or side of the machine body, the size of the sieve hole can be adjusted according to the required particle size. Only materials with a particle size smaller than the sieve hole size after crushing can be discharged through the sieve, while larger particles are sent back to the crushing chamber for further crushing.
Running process
The material is first fed into the feed inlet of the chain crusher. Due to the high-speed rotation of the rotor, the material is immediately strongly impacted by the chain, and large pieces of material are quickly crushed. Subsequently, the material moves downwards under the action of gravity and mechanical force, constantly colliding with the chains on the rotor, the lining plate of the machine body, and other materials, further refining. Finally, small materials are discharged through the sieve, while larger particles remain in the crushing chamber until they reach the appropriate size.
Chain crushers have been widely used in the chicken manure organic fertilizer processing industry due to their simple structure, high crushing efficiency, and strong adaptability. However, in order to ensure long-term stable operation and high work efficiency, regular maintenance and upkeep are very necessary, such as regularly checking the degree of chain wear, cleaning residual materials, etc., which are all important aspects of daily management that cannot be ignored.
