Ever since man began to build, he has sought quality
sand. Sand that has rounded particles, sand that has a
full range of well-graded sizes, sand that gives strength
and beauty in what man builds.

From the ancients to the present, good natural sand


deposits have been exploited and depleted. Now we must
crush rock to produce sand for our modern structures.
No crushing job is more difficult than producing man-
made sand. Prior to the REMco SandMax, a wide
range of crusher models had been applied to the task
with limited success. The challenge of a quality product,
in specification, with good cubical particle shape and
with the desired F.M. (fineness modulus) has caused
many crusher failures.

VSI Impact Crushing has been proven to be the


most efficient method of size reduction when
processing rocks, ores or minerals. The reason for
this is because it is the best way to transfer energy
from the drive motors to the material being
reduced. Impact crushers have fewer moving
parts and less mechanical loss when compared
to compression machines such as cone crushers.

In the past, the limits on impact crushers has been


their high cost of operation when the material is
hard and abrasive. Historically, hard rock such
as granites, quartzites and other materials with
high abrasive content have caused severe wear
on the crushing members of vertical shaft impact
crushers making them prohibitively expensive to
operate.

The REMco Autogenetic Crushing Process
ROCK-ON-ROCK reduction of all material feeds is
achieved by high velocity energy transfer which commences
as the rock feed enters the feed tube. At this point it is
moving by gravity. When the incoming continuous ribbon
of rock particles passes over the center distribution plate
of the rotor, it is divided into separate multiple streams.
These are forcefully impacted on the trailing edge of the
autogenous waves at the center of the rotor port exit. As
the material begins its path through the rotor, it is being
compressed by the rising centrifugal forces created by the
rotor’s rotation. This multi-layered stream of rock is abraded,
compressed and pulverized against the rock waves which
are formed and held in place by the radial rotor walls. The
unique geometry of the REMco multi-port rotors intensifies
the inter-particle comminution with multiple collisions and
a variety of forces act on the individual rock pieces as they
proceed through the rotor. After the high velocity rock exits
the rotor, with a REMco VSI, you have a choice, SandMax
or RockMax.

SUPERIOR ROCK-ON-ROCK
CRUSHING PERFORMANCE
REMco impact crushers are designed for crushing the
widest range of rocks, ores and minerals into fine cubical
products. REMco crushers with their unique high Typical
performance multi-port rotor designs, variable density
chambers, and the widest operating speed range have SandMax
expanded the application capabilities of VSI crushers. Fine Rotor / Fine Chamber
REMco has advanced VSI crushing technology for rock-on-
rock reduction by performing thousands of crushing tests in
its testing facility. This has resulted in a unique application
accuracy by adjusting the design variables to suit the user’s
specific requirements. This guarantees the right crusher for
the job, eliminating guessing and user disappointment.

LOWEST CRUSHING COST


REMco has continued to lower the wear parts cost per
net finished ton of product. Fully autogenous (rock-on- Typical
rock) designs provide the lowest product cost per ton. This
is especially true when the desired product size is below

How is Speed Applied in a REMco VSI?

REMco VSI crushers use a rotating impeller that acts as a rock pump
MPS [FPS]

to accelerate and impart speed onto the rock particles which are fed

configuration can be varied to suit. A common feature of all REMco

rotors is their unique internal construction, using the most efficient

desired product, the crushing forces applied can be controlled by the

operating speed of the machine. This speed control when combined
with a variety of crushing chamber features results in optimum crushing

SUGGESTED REMco VSI CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS A variety of proven circuit arrangements can be made regardless
of the sand specification required for either wet or dry materials.
REMco SandMax crushers will produce a finer discharge
grading than all other VSI crushers. Additionally, control of
the grading curve can be achieved by changing chamber type
and rotor configuration. Different materials will respond to the
variables of the machine in different ways.

To achieve the best crushing and shaping results,


RockMax crushers should be operated as 3rd or 4th stage
finish product producers. REMco RockMax crushers
are configured to handle coarser feeds and produce a
higher percentage of their discharge in the middle range
sizes. RockMax crushers use different chamber inserts,
lower operating RPMs and coarse crushing rotors and
chambers.

Note: It is recommended that all circuits using a REMco VSI be arranged to include protection from
uncrushables by using magnets or metal detectors. Ample size vibrating screens are necessary for optimum
crusher performance. Using a surge preceding the crusher and a variable rate feeder will enhance performance,
maximize production and provide the lowest wear cost per ton. 4

Note 1: The capacities shown in this table are for crushing sound, competent stone having a crushed bulk density of 100 lbs. per cubic foot. Larger, angular feeds will reduce capacity;
finer, cubical feeds will increase capacity. When crushing to produce improved shape, slower speeds may be utilized. This may increase the crusher feed rate and lower the reduction
achieved.
Note 2: Rock feed containing excess amounts of water, clay, soil or dirt will cause reduced crusher performance.
Note 3: This catalog covers REMco VSI crushers that do not use any form of cascade or by-flow around the rotor. For information on dual flow designs, please contact REMco.
Note 4: ST designation is for Swing Top / Standard Top.

Selecting REMco VSI


Impactor Crushing Capacities
To select the correct crusher for your application,
please refer to the Basic VSI Circuit diagram. REMco
impact crushers have two distinct capacities. These
are measured at different points of the circuit.
Understanding this circuit flow is key to proper crusher
model and drive power selection.

Reduction Ratio
For REMco crushers, the reduction ratio is calculated as the
relationship of the maximum feed size to the desired product
size. For example, with a feed of -2” and a product requirement of
-1/4”, the reduction is 2.0 ÷ 0.250 = 8. Maximum recommended
reduction ratios for REMco crushers are, SandMax – 16:1;
RockMax – 8:1. Exceeding the recommended ratio will
interfere with circuit balance and may reduce production.

MICRONS

Due to their great versatility and model range, REMco crushers can be custom configured to the crushing task. The
above graph illustrates the variation that can be expected in the discharge grading from the two different REMco
crusher types when processing the same feed.

REMco cautions prospective crusher users not to depend on typical catalog gradings when seriously considering
their crusher selection. A formal crushing test is strongly recommended prior to final model and type of VSI
selection.

7 To determine your specific material crushing characteristics and crusher discharge grading by running a formal
crushing test, contact REMco.
Typical internal cross section of

REMco crushers utilize advanced geometrically-
designed rotors of multiple ports and multiple
heights. These rotors are available in short,
standard and tall designs to suit specific application
requirements. This provides the greatest versatility
and broadest application range for REMco VSI
crushers. REMco VSI crushers use 3, 4, 5 or
6-port enclosed rotor designs.

Figure 1 – The REMco design uses drop-


in type tungsten tips for ease of replacement
and low cost operation. Multiple grades of
tungsten are readily applied for maximum wear
life depending on rock type. No bolts are used
to hold the tungsten tips in place.

Figure 2 – REMco rotors do not require


extensive repair welding of the rotor body.
The rotor is protected by one-piece hardened
AR steel wear disks, top and bottom. These
are smooth, reducing air drag and are easy
to replace after providing long wear life.

Figure 3 – By using relatively small, very


hard chrome iron or steel wear castings,
rotor weight is reduced, lowering power
demand. This lowers energy cost and wear
parts replacement cost. Rotor wear plates are
bolted in place to maintain internal balance
and prevent shifting during operation.

Figure 4 – The complete assembly of


REMco rotors is designed for maximum
tonnage throughput, lower power demand,
grading control, ease of balance and wear
parts replacement. This provides the user
with maximum machine availability.

REMco Customer Services
When a new crushing circuit is being considered it is important to determine the crushing characteristics of the
rock or mineral to be processed. Proper testing can establish the design parameters for new crushing plants to
ensure that the desired product quantity and quality can be reliably produced by the equipment selected.

The only way to predict crushing costs with certainty


is to establish the abrasion rate of the material to be
quarried and crushed. From the softest limestone to
roughest silica, wear rates and the resulting crushing
costs can be ascertained, by a REMco crushing test.
REMco provides crushing tests to prospective
buyers of REMco crushers. These crushing test
services are generally performed on a no-charge basis
for standard tests or a fee basis for more extensive
testing . REMco uses a model 200 VSI with 75 hp
and VFD drive for these tests. This crusher can be
arranged in a wide variety of configurations for test
purposes. For accuracy in testing, it is essential that
the right quantity of material be provided. For more
information about these services, please visit

IMPORTANT APPLICATION
INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES

The capacities shown in this catalog are for all models of REMco fully autogenous
VSI (rock-on-rock) crushers only and are neither maximum nor minimum. Tonnages
shown are based on processing material in a well-designed processing circuit with
automated feed controls and adequate screening. Many factors affect capacity, such
as rock hardness, type of rotor used, number of rotor ports, rotor RPM, size of drive
motor(s), feed moisture content, etc. For metric capacities, multiply by factor of 0.9.
 The sand capacities shown in this catalog must be adjusted to allow for removal of
all excess minus 100 mesh by wet or dry process. Microfines production is mainly
influenced by the grain structure and crushing characteristics of the rock.
 REMco recommends conducting a crushing test prior to applying SandMax/
RockMax crushers, designing a crushing plant or manufactured sand circuit.
Contact REMco for details or visit www.remcovsi.com to schedule such a test.
 Water in feed in excess of 3 to 5 % will reduce crusher performance, cause chamber
packing, raise power demand and increase parts wear thereby raising the operating
cost.
 Maximum recommended feed size will vary dependent on type, hardness and shape
of rock or ore to be crushed. Larger, angular feeds will reduce capacity; finer, cubical
feeds will increase capacity. All feed size designations shown are for a maximum one-
way dimension of the rock pieces.
 SandMax/RockMax crushers can be operated in open or closed circuit. Closed

SANDMAX
circuit operation will produce the best results when crushing for optimum particle
shape. Closed circuit operation will also yield the greatest net product and the best
final product grading.
 The information contained in this catalog is provided as an application aid to assist
the producer in maximizing the potential of SandMax/RockMax crushers.

ROCKMAX
No performance guarantees are expressed or implied. To determine the effect of
individual conditions, contact REMco.

The above applies to all SandMax/RockMax models shown in this catalog. REMco
