Analyzing 4 Factors That Influence Hammer Head Lifespan
2013-08-27
Crusher hammer heads include: hammer crusher hammers, compound crusher hammers, sand-making machine hammers, fine-crushing machine hammers, and stone-crushing machine hammers, among others. Their lifespan depends on the following four key factors: 1. The physical properties of the mineral and the characteristics of its accompanying materials (such as abrasiveness to metal, soil content, moisture levels,黏塑性 [viscoplasticity], compressive strength, etc.). 2. The rationality of the machine’s internal structural design. 3. The appropriateness of the material selection for the hammer head and the quality of its manufacturing process. 4. The proper operational techniques employed during use. The first factor is an inherent, objective condition—something that exists naturally and must be understood accurately from the outset. As for the second factor, it involves making necessary adjustments within the machine to ensure optimal performance tailored to both the properties of the material being processed and the specific requirements of the production process.
I. Physical properties of the mineral and characteristics of its associated components (such as abrasiveness to metals, soil content, moisture, viscoplasticity, compressive strength, etc.)

2. Rationality of the Machine's Internal Structure
3. Correctness of Hammer Head Material Selection and Manufacturing Quality
4. Operating Instructions
The first aspect is the objective existence—something inherent and requiring prior, accurate understanding. The second involves internal machine adjustments tailored to the properties of the material being processed and the specific demands of the production process, designed to prevent abnormal, excessive wear. The third concerns material selection: currently, single-stage hammer crushers use hammers made from either bimetallic composite materials (with a high-chromium cast iron head—HRC > 61—and a chromium-molybdenum alloy steel shank rated HB 225–310) or high-manganese steel types (including alloyed high-manganese steel, ultra-high-manganese steel with added alloy elements, and alloyed high-manganese steel featuring wear-resistant layers welded onto the striking surface). A fourth critical factor is proper crusher operation and handling: for instance, adjusting the grate settings and turning the hammer heads at the right time—or failing to do so—can significantly impact performance. Unfortunately, some facilities even skip these essential steps altogether, allowing material to accumulate in the oversized gap between the grate and rotor, leading to relentless friction. As a result, no matter how durable the materials used, their lifespan will remain severely limited. Therefore, establishing standardized procedures and ensuring meticulous operational practices are crucial not only for extending equipment life but also for achieving energy efficiency, reducing consumption, and minimizing emissions in cement and mining operations.

Technical Review of Slurry Pressure Balance Shield
Abstract: Slurry Pressure Balance Shield (SPB) represents a core type of closed‑face shield machine, which is widely adopted in tunnel engineering projects constructed in strata with high groundwater pressure and high permeability. This paper illustrates the working principle of SPB shields. Two major technical routes are classified according to pressure regulation modes: the direct‑control type (Japanese design) and the indirect air‑cushion control type (German design). A comparison is conducted regarding control logic, pressure stability and stratum adaptability between the two machine types. The excavation‑face stabilization mechanism governed by the coupling effect between filter cake and slurry pressure is analyzed. Technical comparison with Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) shields is also performed, providing references for shield machine type selection and construction‑technology research. 【This article is compiled for popular science purposes in the industry.
