Crusher Design Protects Users, Inspectors
Superior Industries Inc. launched the Valor Vertical Shaft Impactor
(VSI), an impact-style bulk material crusher engineered to generate
fines, eliminate unsound material and shape aggregate into
a more cubic product, the company reported. Maximum operating
rate is 800 tons per hour (t/h) (725 metric t/h), and maximum
feed size is 8 inches (203 millimeters [mm]). The VSI is equipped
with a cartridge style, right angle pinion gearbox, which allows for
a safer deck-mounted motor arrangement and simplifies access to
the drive and its components. A hydraulically powered lid allows
for safe and easy access to the crushing chamber. A combination
of automatic and manual safety interlocks protects maintenance
inspectors. An autogenous rotor design promotes rock on rock
crushing, which extends the life of many internal parts.
