The rotor, attached to the main shaft, rotates at high speed in a predetermined direction by means of an electric motor. Pieces of material fall from the feed chute onto the distribution plate. When the distribution plate hits the rock with its ribs, the rock will be projected onto the deflector plate with a high impact force.
Then the processed material bounces downward into the cone-shaped crushing chamber of the rotor due to the inclined surface of the reflector plate and gravity. Here it becomes subjected to an impact from rapidly rotating top hammers, acquires high kinetic energy and ejects onto the deflector plate, repeating the crushing process. Pieces of processed material collide with each other inside the crushing chamber, which causes them to break up and tumble in the cone-shaped space.
The material then enters the cylindrical rotor chamber where it crushes again in finer way. This repeated exposure to impacts from top, middle and bottom hammers as well as reflective liner plates results in a gradual reduction in size of the processed pieces of rock. As a result, the material is crushed along natural fracture lines and layers.
When the crushed material becomes smaller than the discharge outlet of the large crushing chamber, it enters the middle chamber, and then the small chamber. However, the bottom rotor has a higher circumferential hammer speed than the second rotor, which increases the crushing force. This allows the material to be pulverized to a finer fraction, before it will be discharged from the machine.
