The Working Principle of the Branch Crusher

In scenarios such as garden maintenance and forestry production, the branch crusher plays a crucial role in "transforming waste into treasure" from disorderly branches. Its working principle is based on a variety of efficient crushing mechanisms.

First is the feeding process. Branches enter the crusher through the feeding inlet. The feeding inlet is designed according to the size and shape characteristics of the branches to ensure smooth entry and prevent jams.

Subsequently, the knife roller begins to play a key role. The knife roller is driven by a motor through belts, chains, or couplings to rotate at high speed. The blades on the knife roller are arranged in a carefully designed pattern, commonly in a spiral or staggered manner. When the branches come into contact with the high-speed rotating blades, they are subjected to a strong shearing force. The blades quickly cut into the branches, severing their long fibers. For thinner branches, they can be directly cut into small sections.

At the same time, the high-speed rotating blades also exert a huge impact force on the branches. The internal structure of the branches is damaged due to the impact force at the moment of collision with the blades. Especially the more brittle parts of the branches will break rapidly after impact.

In addition, during the rotation of the knife roller, the branches will be squeezed in the narrow space between the knife roller and the inner wall of the crushing chamber. As the knife roller rotates, the branches are continuously pushed towards the inner wall, being squeezed by both the knife roller and the inner wall, and further crushed. Moreover, the branches between adjacent blades will also be squeezed against each other due to the rotation of the knife roller, making the branch particles continuously smaller.

The crushed branch materials are discharged through a sieve or a discharge outlet. The aperture of the sieve determines the size of the final crushed materials. Only the crushed materials smaller than the aperture can pass through, and the larger ones will continue to be processed in the crushing chamber until they reach the appropriate particle size.

Relying on these principles, the branch crusher efficiently crushes branches. The crushed materials can be used for composting, biomass energy production, etc., achieving the recycling of resources.
