Coke resources and coke application
Coke Crushing Plant
Coke is the solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal. Cokes from coal are grey, hard, and porous. While coke can be formed naturally, the commonly used form is man-made. It benefits from the coke wide application and its business value. For example, coke is used as a fuel and as a reducing agent in smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. Coke cans forms a desirable fuel for stoves and furnaces in which conditions are not suitable for the complete burning of bituminous coal itself. Coke is one of the materials used in heat shielding.
Coke crusher and coke grinding equipments
The hardness of coke is not very high, so it can be crushed by both impact crusher and cone crusher.
If producer adopt impact crusher for coke, the crushing flow are as follows:
When the raw cokes are crushed by the primary crusher the jaw crusher, they meet the max. Feeding-size of the impact crusher. The belt conveyors carry the crushed coke aggregates to the impact crusher. Coke flow from the chute enters into the impact crusher steadily and impact to the high-speed hammer bars on the rotor. Then the aggregates are thrown to the curtain hung in the rear frame. By this process, they are crushed into small ones. But they will be rebounded to the hammer bars again for crushing again. For many times, the coke aggregates are almost meeting the requirements and are discharged from the discharge opening.
By using zenith impact crusher for sale, producer can adjust the discharge size by adjusting the gap between the curtain and rotor hammer. The curtain rod settings on the top of the impact crusher are designed for this function. The PF series impact crusher curtain rod settings must be adjusted by human and the PFW series impact crusher for sale adopt automation design and can be adjust by the hydraulic system easily.
Also, many cokes crushed by the coke impact crusher may still bigger than requires, they will be conveyed back after classified by vibrating screens. This process continues for many times until the final products size meet the requirements.
If the manufacturer budget is high, the cone crusher for coke is also suitable. By using the cone crusher, the primary investment is higher, but the production cost will be lower. Because both the hammer bar and the curtain are wear parts and the service-life is shorter than the cone crusher wear parts, the changing frequency is higher than the cone crushers.
When the raw cokes are crushed by the primary crusher the jaw crusher, they meet the max. Feeding-size of the cone crusher. The belt conveyors transport them to the feed hopper of the cone crusher and they are distributed to crushing cavity by the feed plate installed in the center of the cone crushers. Zenith cone crushers for sale adopt laminated principle and layer protection is good for abrasion decreases. When the cokes are fed into the cavity, they will be pressed by the concave and mantle, the aggregates also squeeze themselves. As a result, they are crushed into small particles, for example, sand size. When crushed aggregates meet discharge size, they pass through the gap between the mantle and concaves and discharged from the bottom of the cone crusher. The discharge size is easy to adjust by using different model or by adjusting the lock system.
