Vibration Hydraulic-Fracture Comminution

Crush, fracture, mill and liberate — in a single pass.

Vibro Corp designs and manufactures the VC 100 and VC 2.1 crusher mills. Instead of compressing rock, they fracture ore along its natural micro-cracks with vibrational kinetic energy — reaching a 40:1 reduction ratio at just 2.5 kWh/t, and liberating the precious metals that conventional circuits leave locked in the stone.

The technology

One pass. Up to three conventional crushers replaced.

The crusher mill uses an adjustable, counterweighted rotating club driven off-centre, so increasing shaft speed induces vibration. That kinetic energy fractures ore on its micro-cracks — producing fine, cubical particles and substantial mineral liberation that compression crushing can't match.

Vibration Hydraulic Fracturing

A patented process. Chains of particle-to-particle impulse forces break ore on its natural micro-cracks rather than by compression.

LIVE

Mobile App Monitoring

Real-time oil pressure and tonnage per minute / hour / month / year, plus exception messages explaining any stoppage — on a phone app.

AUTO

Stop & Restart Under Load

Operation ceases if oil pressure is out of range or feed runs out, and restarts easily under load.

75µm

Fines Suction Recovery

Side windows allow suction of 75-micron fines — raising recovery and effective reduction ratio — and access if tramp metal enters.

12×

Shock-Absorber Footing

Twelve rubber shock-absorbers substantially eliminate vibration, allowing mounting on a light concrete slab with no heavy foundation.

10%

High-Moisture, No Clogging

Accepts up to 10% moisture for dust suppression — double a conventional crusher's 4% — with no clogging at high revolutions.

The range

Two crusher mills. One fracturing principle.

From full plant-scale production to mobile sampling and small-scale mining, both units fracture ore on the micro-cracks for maximum liberation.

3rd-party engineering tests

One machine where a conventional circuit needs seven.

Independently tested on quartzite at Bond Work Index 23. The VC 100 reaches in a single pass what a full conventional crusher-and-mill train achieves across many stages — at a fraction of the energy.

Applications

Proven across precious metals, diamonds and aggregate.

Micro-crack fracturing is especially effective where liberation matters — and its energy profile and cubical product suit aggregate production.

Gold & Platinum

Tested on quartzite at BWI 23, including Merensky and UG2 reef. Fracturing on the micro-cracks liberates gold and platinum more efficiently than compression.

Diamonds — Kimberlite

Vibration kinetic energy disintegrates kimberlite along its micro-cracks without compressing or damaging the diamonds trapped inside — the preferred process for any kimberlite plant.

Aggregate

Delivers predominantly cubical aggregate — a desirable shape spec — from −100 mm down to 19 mm and −6 mm product.

Manufacturing & quality

Measured exactly — or it doesn't ship.

Every VC 100 is built to blueprint and verified before dispatch. If a part falls outside tolerance, it cannot be shipped.

Dimensional

FARO Quantum Arm

A portable coordinate measuring machine performs 3D inspection, tool certification, CAD comparison and dimensional analysis against every blueprint before parts are authorised to ship.

Material

XRF Analyzer

An XRF analyzer verifies that each part's material specification matches the designed blueprint.

Design

3D AutoCAD Blueprints

Every drawing carries full geometric dimensioning & tolerancing, surface finishing and material specification.

Field tested

Over three years in production.

The VC 100 is proven technology — field-tested across aggregate and precious-metal operations.

Why the VC 100

“An adjustable rotating counterweighted club maximises production of fine cubical particles by fracturing the ore on the micro-cracks — crushing, milling and liberating in one pass at a very high reduction rate.”
