Abstract
The present invention 10 discloses a device for crushing stone 12 having an externally adjustable anvil ring 22. The anvil ring 22 is contained within a drum 24 and has multiple lifts 26 mounted on hydraulic support members 32 which can be adjusted from a control panel 46 either manually 48 or automatically 50. The anvils 38 are spaced about the anvil zing 22 so that the faces 52 of the multiple anvils 38 are substantially perpendicular to the line of travel of the stones 12. The anvils 38 have anchors 64 for attachment to the anvil ring 22 whereby the worn anvils 38 can be easily inverted so as to prolong anvil life.
Claims16
An apparatus for crushing stone, comprising:
- a) an inlet for the uncrushed stone through which said inlet the uncrushed stone falls by gravity;
- b) an outlet for the crushed stone through which said outlet the crushed stone falls by gravity;
- c) a centrifugating head, said head centrifugating in a generally horizontal plane, said head disposed beneath said inlet, said head having means for receiving stone therein, said head disposed above said outlet, said head having means for expelling stone therefrom;
- d) a plurality of anvils encircling said centrifugating head;
- e) an anvil ring for receiving said plurality of anvils in a spaced apart relationship, said anvil ring disposed so as to place said plurality of anvils in position to receive stone expelled from said centrifugating head;
- f) means for rotating said centrifugating head in generally horizontal plane;
- g) an outer drum for partially enclosing said anvil ring and said centrifugating head;
- h) a generally upstanding base upon which the apparatus is mounted;
- i) a first means for mounting said anvil ring onto said base and including means for adjusting height of said anvil ring whereby said height adjustment occurs while the apparatus is operating;
- and,
- j) a second means for mounting said drum onto said base.
