Shoe (Vertical Shaft Impactor)
A good number of manufacturers out there have developed form the HSI technology the VSI one.
Basically those machines use the kinetic (following the famous formula E=1/2mv2) energy to crush.
This technology can give a good range of grades. This reduction principle allows a good form coefficient and as a counter effect can also produce fines that could be used as a side product (ex: recycle of the interstitial gold grain in mining applications).
This type of unit generally is used in a tertiary phase.
The wear resistance application with the combination of our mix of alloys on the shoe has proven to be very efficient in term of maintaining the shape and increase durability.
