Crushing machinery refers to equipment designed to break down large materials into smaller, manageable pieces. This type of machinery is commonly used in industries such as mining, construction, and recycling. It includes various types of crushers, such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, and impact crushers, each serving specific purposes based on the material being processed. These machines work by applying force to the material, which can be rocks, concrete, or other hard substances. The crushed material can then be used for different applications, such as aggregate for construction projects or raw materials for further processing in facilities like cement plants or quarries.
