The FCB VIF™ hammer crusher: high crushing reduction ratio for primary and secondary applications
The FCB VIF™ crusher is an impact hammer mill equipped with hammers and a non-clogging mobile anvil device. Designed either for primary or secondary crushing stages, it features a high crushing reduction ratio capacity.
Customer benefits:
- Sturdy design, with a long lifetime and reduced maintenance requirements
- Handles sticky and clogging raw material with 5-15% moisture content
Key features:
- A welded steel frame and heavy-duty forged rotor with two double-row self-aligning roller bearings
- Perfect retractation thanks to slotted discs and single- or double-head hammers in an alternate and staggered arrangement
- Anti-clogging Mobile Anvil Device (MAD)
FCB Rhodax® 4D: an efficient and energy-saving cone crusher
The FCB Rhodax® 4D is a vibrating cone crusher offering a more efficient alternative to traditional crushing technologies. The FCB Rhodax® is the ultimate technology merging crushing and grinding applications within a single machine.
Customer benefits:
- Offers interparticle compressive grinding for constant product quality, particle size distribution and capacity
- Offers high liberation ratio for greater beneficiation and a low flakiness index
- Reduces the overall number of crushing and grinding stages, thus offering significant energy savings
Key features:
- Closed-circuit operation offers a low noise level and zero dust emissions
- Product quality is constant regardless of the liner wear, and wear parts last three times longer than a traditional cone crusher
FCB VIF™ crusher
The FCB VIF™ impact crusher is designed for primary and secondary applications for crushing of:
- Iron ore
- Phosphates
- Bauxite
- Gypsum
- Aggregates
- Limestone
- Clay materials
In primary applications, the crusher accepts blocks over 1 m3 (35 ft3) to obtain a 40 mm (1 1/2 in) product. In secondary application, the 300 mm (12 in) feed size produces a 20 mm (about 3/4 in) product.
FCB Rhodax® 4D
The FCB Rhodax® 4D offers advanced grinding force control with a high reduction ratio (up to 100/1). It can be used in concrete recycling and crushing applications, including:
- Abrasive materials
- Ceramics, tiles and fired clay
- Silica,
- Ferro-nickel, ferroalloys, ferrochrome
- Silicon metal
- Copper, ilmenite and steel slag
- Diamond and iron ore
- Phosphates
- Aggregates
- Limestone
Long-life wear parts offer significant savings, particularly when grinding hard and abrasive materials.
