Rock Crusher Machines 
A rock crusher machine greatly simplifies many types of projects, including construction and demolition. Having the right equipment for every step of the operation is crucial for optimal results, whether you want to create smaller rocks or finer materials like sand. Murrysville Machinery Company rents, sells and leases a range of new and used rock-crushing equipment for every need.
What Is a Rock Crusher?
A rock crusher has one job: to crush hard materials. It takes large raw materials and breaks them down to a specific size. Once the material becomes the preferred proportions, it can eventually be used for miscellaneous projects, such as landscaping.
Ways to Reduce Material Size
Various methods, including impact and compression, can reduce the size of the raw material. Primary, secondary and tertiary are the three main stages involved in rock crushing, each further decreasing the material’s size.
The primary stage reduces the raw material into smaller rocks that the secondary crusher can break down further, and then, it goes onto the tertiary crusher until final processing. The raw material can get broken down to such a degree that it could turn into the rock dust typically used in gardening.
Different Kinds of Crushers
There are several types of crushers, each operating differently. For instance, impact crushers utilize force, and jaw crushers use compression via crushing plates. The most common type of crusher include:
- impact crushers
- gyratory crushers
- jaw crushers
- cone crushers
Secondary and Tertiary Crushing Equipment
There can typically be some overlap between the stages in which different crushing equipment is used. However, there are usually preferred options for each stage. For example, jaw crushers are often the go-to for the primary stage, while cone crushers are used for the secondary stage. Vertical shaft impactors, horizontal shaft impactors or cone crushers are often used in the tertiary stage.
