What Is A Concrete Crusher And How Does It Work?

A concrete crusher helps break old concrete into small pieces. You put construction waste into the crusher. The crusher uses strong force to crush it. This helps recycle concrete. Recycling concrete means less trash goes to landfills. It also saves important resources. In the United States, concrete is about 85% of construction waste. This shows concrete is a big part of demolition and recycling. More companies now recycle concrete every year. The global concrete recycling market keeps growing. Using a concrete crusher turns waste into useful material. This makes your project better and helps the environment. Many industries use jaw crusher parts and high manganese liner. These parts help the crusher work better during recycling.

Jaw Crushers

Jaw crushers are very important for recycling concrete. You put big pieces of concrete into the machine. The crusher has two jaws. One jaw stays still and the other moves. The jaws crush the concrete. This works well for strong concrete and asphalt. Jaw crushers make clean pieces you can use again. You can use small crushers for bricks and blocks. Use bigger crushers for large jobs. ONA’s jaw crusher parts and high manganese liners last a long time.


Cone Crushers

Cone crushers have a spinning cone inside a steel bowl. They crush concrete into smaller pieces. You get even, high-quality aggregate. Cone crushers are good for hard and rough materials. They work best after the first crushing step. They do not work well with concrete that has lots of rebar. ONA’s cone crusher parts and high manganese liners save energy and last long. You can trust ONA’s machines for steady results.


Impact Crushers

Impact crushers break concrete by hitting it with a fast rotor. The concrete hits plates and breaks into small pieces. This crusher makes more fine and cube-shaped pieces. These are good for road base and new concrete. There are different kinds of impact crushers. Some are mobile and can be used at the job site. ONA’s impact crusher parts and blow bars are made from strong materials. They last longer and work better.


Mobile Crushers

Mobile crushers let you crush concrete at your work site. Portable crushers save time and money. You do not need to move concrete far. You can move these machines from one job to another. ONA’s mobile crushers do many crushing jobs in one machine. They help you work in a green and flexible way. ONA gives help with setup, care, and spare parts for all crushers.

Tip: Using ONA’s OEM spare parts and high manganese liners helps your concrete crusher last longer and work better.

How Concrete Crushers Work

How Concrete Crushers Work

Knowing how concrete crushers work helps you use them better. You can turn big pieces of concrete into smaller ones. This makes work faster and cuts down on waste. It also helps you recycle more at your job site.


Crushing Mechanism

Crushing concrete uses strong machines. Each machine type breaks concrete in its own way. You can see how they work in the table below:

Crusher Type

Working Principle

Mechanism Description

Jaw Crusher

Material crushed by periodic extrusion between movable and fixed jaws

Compression: Squeezing material between two surfaces

Cone Crusher

Rotating cone squeezes material in a fixed cavity

Squeezing: Material crushed by a rotating cone

Impact Crusher

Material struck by high-speed rotor and collides with impact plates

Impact: Breaking material by high-speed collision

Roll Crusher

Double rollers rotate to squeeze materials

Compression: Squeezing material between two rotating rollers

Jaw crushers use a moving jaw to press concrete. The jaw pushes it against a still jaw. This crushes the concrete into smaller bits. Cone crushers have a spinning cone inside a bowl. The cone squeezes the concrete until it breaks. Impact crushers have a fast rotor with blow bars. The rotor hits the concrete and breaks it on plates. Each crusher works best for certain jobs and types of concrete.


ONA’s crushers use strong materials like high manganese steel. These parts last longer and can handle hard work. ONA’s team checks every part for quality. They use special tools to look for problems. This makes sure your machine works well and lasts longer.


Feeding and Output

You need to follow steps to crush concrete safely. Here is an easy guide:

  1. Put on safety gear like goggles, gloves, and a dust mask.

  2. Take out metal like rebar and other trash from the concrete.

  3. Break big chunks into smaller ones with hammers or breakers.

  4. Put the small pieces into the crusher. Pick the right crusher for your job.

  5. Use screens to sort the crushed concrete by size.

  6. Spray water to keep dust down while crushing.

  7. Move the sorted pieces with a conveyor or forklift.

Magnets and screens help pull metal out of the crushed concrete. This makes the end product cleaner and safer to use again. ONA’s machines let you change the size of the output. You can get small gravel or bigger pieces. ONA’s team checks every part before sending it out. They look at jaw crusher parts, blow bars, and liners to make sure they work well.

Tip: Keep your crusher in good shape by greasing and checking bolts. This helps your machine last longer and work better.


How Does an Impact Crusher Work

You might wonder how an impact crusher works. First, you feed concrete into the machine. The rotor spins very fast. Blow bars on the rotor hit the concrete hard. The force throws the concrete against plates inside. The concrete breaks into smaller pieces. These pieces bounce around until they are small enough to leave the machine.


You can change the rotor speed and the space between plates. This lets you pick the size and shape of the crushed concrete. Impact crushers are good for making fine, even pieces. You often use them after jaw or cone crushers for more crushing.


ONA’s impact crushers use strong blow bars and tough liners. The team tests each part to make sure it is strong. ONA uses special tools and checks for quality. This makes sure your machine works well and is safe.

Note: ONA’s engineers help with setup, fixing, and care. You can ask them for help with your crusher.

Crushing concrete with new machines helps recycling and cuts waste. ONA’s focus on quality and service helps you get the best from your equipment.
