NORDVIK Impact Crusher PN Series

Name: NORDVIK Impact Crusher PN Series
Brand: NORDVIK

High reduction impact crushing for aggregates

The NORDVIK PN series horizontal shaft impact crusher combines a massive rotor with a large feed opening to achieve reduction ratios no cone can match — primary models accept 900 – 1,500 mm boulders, while secondary and tertiary models shape product down to sand sizes. Eight sizes cover primary, secondary and tertiary duty with installed power from 160 to 1,200 kW.

Key Features

Very high reduction ratio — A single PN often replaces two crushing stages, simplifying the plant and cutting capital and operating cost.
Superior product shape — Impact breakage produces cubical, well-graded aggregates ideal for concrete and asphalt specifications.
Massive rotor design — A heavy, high-inertia rotor maintains crushing energy through surges and large feed.
Hydraulic opening frame — The crusher body opens hydraulically for fast blow bar replacement and internal inspection.
Hydraulic gap adjustment — Apron gaps adjust hydraulically with overload protection, controlling top size without stopping.
Wear metallurgy options — Martensitic, high-chromium and ceramic-insert blow bars match every abrasiveness class.

Nominal and maximum installed power as published. Capacity depends on feed size, gap setting and material crushability.

How it works

Working Principle

Material entering the PN impactor is struck by the blow bars of the fast-spinning rotor and hurled against the adjustable impact aprons, breaking along its natural fissures. Particles ricochet between rotor and aprons until small enough to pass the set gap. Because breakage is by impact rather than compression, the PN delivers very high reduction ratios and an excellent cubical product shape in a single stage.

Applications

Aggregate production

Cubical road base, concrete and asphalt aggregates from limestone, gravel and medium-hard rock.

Primary crushing of soft rock

PN primary models take 900 – 1,500 mm quarry-run feed in limestone and similar materials.

Recycling

Concrete and asphalt recycling with excellent liberation of reinforcing steel.

Cement industry

Limestone and raw mix preparation crushing ahead of raw mills.

Sand manufacturing

Tertiary PN models produce fine, well-shaped sand feedstock.

Materials

Limestone, dolomite, gypsum, river gravel, concrete and asphalt rubble, and medium-hard, low-abrasion rocks. For highly abrasive hard rock, a cone crusher is recommended.

Blow Bar & Liner Options

Martensitic steel bars — General-duty blow bars combining impact resistance with good wear life.
High-chromium iron bars — Maximum abrasion resistance for gravel and recycled materials with moderate impact.
Ceramic-insert bars — Extended service life in highly abrasive feed where plain alloys wear fast.
Manganese liners — Work-hardening manganese apron and side liners for heavy impact zones.
Selection guidance — Send us your feed material analysis — we match the metallurgy to your abrasiveness class.

Hydraulic Opening & Adjustment

The PN frame opens hydraulically, exposing the complete rotor and liner set for inspection, blow bar rotation and replacement — service that once took days now fits a single shift.

Apron gaps are set hydraulically from the control panel, with automatic overload relief that protects the rotor and aprons when uncrushable material passes.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose an impactor instead of a cone crusher?

Choose the PN for limestone and other soft to medium-hard, low-abrasion materials where product shape matters. For abrasive granite or basalt, a cone crusher's wear costs are lower.

What is the largest feed the PN accepts?

The PN2023 primary model accepts 1,500 mm feed directly from the quarry face, often eliminating a secondary jaw stage.

How are blow bars changed?

The frame opens hydraulically, giving full rotor access; bars are turned or replaced with standard lifting tools, typically within one shift.

Which blow bar material should I select?

Martensitic steel for general duty with impact load, high-chromium iron for abrasive gravel, ceramic-insert bars for maximum life in highly abrasive feed.

How is product size controlled?

The impact aprons adjust hydraulically to set the gap; the automation option tracks power and keeps the gap at its target.
