The VSI6X series vertical shaft impact crusher incorporates years of R&D experience and technical concepts, adopts a brand-new four-impeller design and special sealing structure to prevent bearing tube oil leakage, and features multiple national patents. It features energy saving, long service life, and wide application, helping large sand yards gradually move toward large-scale and centralized production to meet national environmental protection and capacity requirements. This series of equipment addresses the growing demand for large-scale, intensive, energy-saving and environmentally friendly sand and high-quality manufactured sand in the sand and gravel market. Based on thousands of impact crushing and shaping application technologies, it further optimizes the structure and function of impact crushing to launch a new generation of high-efficiency, low-cost sand shaping equipment that combines stone shaping and manufactured sand production functions. Why choose the VSI6X series vertical shaft impact crusher? First, the new design improves efficiency, with a new four-port deep cavity design for the impeller, increasing material throughput and about 20% higher crushing efficiency compared to three-port impellers for the same type of material. Second, process upgrades reduce costs and increase efficiency, adopting a "stone-for-stone" working mode to reduce wear-resistant usage types and lower customer production costs; The impeller structure and process have been adjusted, extending the impeller service life by about 30%-200% compared to previous equipment crushing the same type of material. Third, specially designed quality assurance: the transmission section uses a special sealed structure to prevent oil leakage in the bearing barrel, and imported bearings reduce transmission system failures. Fourth, it is easy to maintain stable operation, with a new lifting device for convenient customer maintenance, saving labor and labor during inspections; The minimalist lower structure design effectively prevents clogging of the lower part of the machine body when material moisture content is too high, reducing downtime and ensuring stable operation. Fifth, freely switching operation modes: users can freely switch between "stone-for-stone" and "stone-for-iron" to meet different production needs. The VSI6X series vertical shaft impact crusher is mainly used for sand making and shaping in manufactured sand production lines, supporting sand and stone processing in concrete batching plants, dry-mix mortar production lines, cement product factories, aggregate shaping and manufactured sand production in columbar mines, resource treatment of construction waste and tailings, as well as fine crushing and shaping operations in industries such as building materials, chemicals, highways, railways, water conservancy and hydropower. The groups that need the VSI6X series include sand and gravel plants and aggregate producers, concrete batching plant operation teams, dry-mixed mortar and cement product manufacturers, metal and non-metal mine operation teams, construction waste processing companies, equipment procurement departments of building materials and chemical enterprises, EPC contractors for crushing and sand-making production lines, equipment dealers and inventory holders, and overseas mining and building materials project buyers. In what situations should one choose or replace the VSI6X series vertical shaft impact crusher? When high-quality manufactured sand is required, with products that are well-shaped and reasonably graded; when aggregate shaping is needed to reduce the content of needle-like and flake-like particles; when processing solid waste such as construction waste and tailings to achieve resource utilization; when the old sand-making machine produces poorly shaped products, with unstable fineness modulus and short wear part lifespan, requiring an upgrade; when one machine needs to serve multiple purposes, freely switching between sand-making and shaping modes; when constructing a new large-scale sand-making production line, requiring high equipment handling capacity, energy saving, and environmental protection; or when export projects require vertical shaft impact crushers that adapt to overseas voltage and high processing capacity. How to choose the VSI6X series vertical shaft impact crusher? Step 1: Confirm the material type and hardness. VSI6X is suitable for granite, quartz, basalt, river pebbles, limestone, dolomite, construction waste, tailings, etc. The stone-on-stone mode is suitable for medium to high hardness materials, while the stone-on-iron mode is suitable for low hardness materials. Step 2: Confirm the crushing mode. The sand-making mode has a maximum feed size of 30-50mm, while the shaping mode has a maximum feed size of 40-60mm. Step 3: Confirm the throughput requirement. Select the model within the range of 109-583t/h according to the production line capacity requirements. Step 4: Confirm the motor power. Choose a dual-motor configuration from 90×2 to 400×2 kW based on throughput. Step 5: Confirm the feeding mode. Options include full center feeding or center feeding with annular waterfall feeding, selected according to material and product requirements. Step 6: Confirm the voltage configuration. The standard is 380V, with optional 6KV/10KV high-voltage configurations. Step 7: Confirm the lubrication system. Standard configuration includes an automatic thin-oil lubrication station, dual oil pump complementary supply, automatic shutdown without oil flow, and other safety protection features. Step 8: Confirm the environmental protection and automation configuration. Options include dust removal system and central control system.

The motor power ranges from 90×2 to 400×2 kW, using dual motor drive, depending on the model.

5. What is the working principle of the VSI6X vertical shaft impact crusher?

The motor drives the main shaft of the bearing barrel transmission part to rotate at high speed, while the rotor rotates at high speed with the main shaft. Material entering the impeller is accelerated and ejected into the crushing chamber, where it collides and grinds with the material lining in the crushing chamber. The material is accelerated to convert kinetic energy into the energy required for crushing or shaping. Materials circulate multiple times in the crushing chamber and, under the action of surrounding gas vortices, are crushed and shaped multiple times, achieving continuous crushing and shaping of the material. The finished material is discharged from the lower part of the machine body.

6. What is the difference between "stone-for-stone" and "stone-for-iron" in the VSI6X series vertical shaft impact crusher?

Stone-forging mode: After being ejected from the rotor, the material collides with the lining material formed in the crushing chamber. It is mainly used for shaping and crushing stone, suitable for medium to high hardness materials, and has high discharge quality. Stone-forging mode: After being ejected from the rotor, the material strikes with a counter-impact block installed in the crushing chamber.
