A primary crusher is the first stage of the crushing process and is used to handle large, raw materials directly from the quarry or mine. This crusher's primary objective is to reduce the size of these large rocks to a more manageable size for further processing. Common types of primary crushers include jaw crushers, gyratory crushers, and sometimes impact crushers.
A secondary crusher, on the other hand, takes the output from the primary crusher and reduces it to a finer consistency. This stage ensures the material is ready for specific applications or further processing in tertiary crushing stages. Types of secondary crushers include cone crushers, roll crushers, and sometimes impact crushers.
