The CARRI-CEL Impact Breaker (VSI crusher): Final technical report
The CARRI-CEL Impact Breaker (CIB) is a vertical shaft impact crusher used in the processing and reduction of stone as well as other minerals and friable items such as glass. It achieves this by propelling the material into a breakage area where the material ''explodes'' along its natural fault lines from the impact forces. The purpose of this grant and study was for further research and development of the CIB and the Flex Break Rock Cell while demonstrating to aggregate producers the energy saving capabilities as well as the crushing capabilities in various quarries and types of rock throughout the country. This would in turn promote the use of this new energy saving technology in an industry whose methods have changed little in the past 80 years and where energy conservation is rare. In the past, plants were designed by picking a crusher that would produce the desired product at the desired tons per hour (TPH) rate, then just adding as much horsepower as it took to achieve that goal.
