Rhodax Crushers

A Rhodax Crusher is a specialised form of a cone crusher, referred to as an inertial cone crusher. Developed by the FCB Research Centre in France, the Rhodax crusher is claimed to offer process advantages over conventional cone crushers and is based on inter-particle compression crushing.

The Rhodax is an inertial cone grinder which means that the grinding parts are moved by rotating unbalanced masses, and not due to an eccentric mass as is the case for a conventional cone crusher. A horizontal circular oscillation movement, is caused by the rotation of two sets of unbalanced masses. These two sets of masses are synchronized with each other and subject the ring to a known and controlled mechanical force. This force creates a fragmentation force.
