High-performance impact crushers built for shaping, refining, and producing consistent aggregate.
Vertical Shaft Impactors (VSI crushers) are engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality aggregate through a controlled impact crushing process. Material is accelerated within the chamber and crushed against anvils or a rock-lined configuration, producing a uniform, cubical product ideal for spec-driven applications.
Known for durability and performance in demanding environments, Astec VSI crushers are built to handle abrasive materials while maintaining steady throughput and precise shaping. These units are widely used in sand production, final-stage crushing, and applications where product consistency is critical.
Westridge Iron supplies and supports Astec VSI crushers across Western Canada, working directly with operators to ensure proper configuration, application, and long-term performance in the field.
Built for Production Environments
VSI crushers operate in high-wear, high-impact conditions where consistency and durability are critical. These machines are engineered to handle abrasive materials while maintaining steady throughput and product shape.
Typical applications include:
- Sand production
- Manufactured aggregate
- Asphalt and concrete feed material
- Final-stage crushing and shaping
Each unit is configured to match material type, production targets, and site conditions.
Key Advantages of VSI Crushers
- Produces high-quality, cubical aggregate
- Consistent particle shape for spec-driven applications
- Adjustable configurations for different material types
- Efficient reduction in final-stage crushing
- Designed for continuous, high-production environments
