The impact stone crusher, also known as the impact crusher or impactor, is a type of crushing machine that uses impact force to crush materials. The invention of the impact stone crusher can be attributed to several individuals and developments over time.
The concept of using impact force for crushing rocks and ores can be traced back to the 19th century. In 1854, Captain Francis E. Brown of the United States developed a centrifugal impact rock-crushing machine that used centrifugal force to impact rocks against anvils within a crushing chamber. However, this early design did not gain widespread acceptance or commercial success.
In the early 20th century, various inventors and engineers made further advancements to impact crushers. In 1924, the German engineer Andreas Andreasen invented a horizontal shaft impact crusher, which featured a rotor with hammers that could rotate at high speeds, impacting rocks against breaker plates. This design became the basis for the modern impact crushers.
In the 1940s, the British engineer Philters W. Gates patented a design for a vertical shaft impact crusher, which featured a rotor with vertical shafts that could spin at high speeds, throwing rocks against anvils or impact plates within the crushing chamber. This design was further developed and improved upon by other inventors, leading to the modern vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushers.
In the 1950s and 1960s, various other inventors and companies also patented designs for impact crushers, including Robert F. Simon, Jr. in the United States, who patented a horizontal shaft impact crusher in 1950, and Jim Bathurst and Ivan A. Hayes in New Zealand, who patented a vertical shaft impact crusher in 1965.
Since then, impact crushers have continued to evolve with advancements in materials, design, and technology, leading to various types of impact crushers, including horizontal shaft impact (HSI) crushers, vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushers, and more. These inventions have greatly contributed to the field of crushing and have been widely used in various industries around the world for their ability to efficiently and effectively crush rocks and ores using impact force.
