Cone Crusher

What is Cone Crusher?

Cone crusher is mainly used for the secondary and tertiary crushing in mining and construction aggregates production industry. Cone crusher is applied to crush materials which are below 350 MPa, such as calcite, limestone, pebble, clinker, etc. in artificial sand making industry, concrete sand making industry, building materials and so on. Cone crushing machine has been extensively used for many years for its enormous crushing ratio, high efficiency, low energy consumption, and uniform product size.

Cone Crusher Selection

According to the working mode of the production line, we have two types of cone crushers for your choice, mobile cone crusher and fixed cone crusher. Based on the requirement of material discharging size, cone crusher is laid for coarse crushing, medium crushing, and fine crushing. The standard crushing cavity is for coarse crushing; the middle-sized crushing cavity is for intermediate crushing; the short-sized crushing cavity is for fine crushing. Fote Machinery has different types of cone crusher for sale, like single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher, multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher, compound cone crusher/Symons cone crusher, spring cone crusher, etc.

Applications of FTM Cone Crusher

Cone crusher is extensively applied in the mining industry, metallurgy, building materials, road construction, silicate making industry, etc. With high crushing ratio and even product size, it is suitable for medium and fine crushing of rocks below 350 MPa, such as iron ore, non-ferrous metal ore, granite, limestone, basalt, sandstone, pebbles, limestone, quartz, gravel and other more than 200 kinds of materials which are not of viscosity.

Comparison of Materials Before Crushing and After Crushing

Structural Advantages of Cone Crusher

Cone crusher parts mainly include a frame, a horizontal axis, a balanced wheel, an eccentric sleeve, an upper crushing wall (fixed cone), a low crushing wall (movable cone), hydraulic coupler, lubrication system, hydraulic system, and control system.

1. Different types of crushing chambers are available with high crushing efficiency, uniform product size, and appropriate grain shape according to the production needs.
2. The unique dust proof sealing structure extends the change period of lubrication oil and the service life of cone crusher parts.
3. Key components are made of special material to support the big crushing force.
4. Long crushing arm, large stroke, big crushing force, high yield.
5. Hydraulic cavity cleaning system has convenient operation and reduces downtime.
6. Stable performance, low running cost, and long service life of easily-worn parts.

Different Angles of Cone Crusher

Working Principle of Cone Crusher

The entire crushing is completed by a fixed cone and the cyclic-moved cone. When a cone crusher works, the horizontal axis is driven by a motor with a triangle-belt and a wheel. Two different sized wheels make the eccentric bushing rotate through the axis. With the effect of the eccentric bushing, the cone axis moves in a cranking motion, which results in a regular near-and-far between the fixed cone and the crushing wall. Here, materials get constantly pressed and impacted until reaching the required size. Qualified products fall down and are blenched out through the outset.

Cone Crusher VS Impact Crusher

>>Similarity Between Cone Crusher and Impact Crusher

Cone Crusher and Impact Crusher can both be equipped with Jaw Crusher and used for secondary crushing and tertiary crushing in a stone production plant.

>>Difference Between Cone Crusher and Impact Crusher

Working Principle

With the impact crusher, materials are crushed by impaction. Here, materials are impacted between hammers and impacting plates repeatedly. While with cone crusher, materials get crushed by lamination. Rolling mortar wall moves towards the crushing wall and squeezes materials between them the qualified size.

Production Capacity

Impact crusher has a smaller production capacity than a cone crusher. But with a good shaping capacity, it is usually used in middle and small-sized building material or conduction plants. Cone crusher that has a larger production capacity is more widely used in large ore dressing plants.

Material Hardness

To crush materials within intermediate hardness, like limestone, impact crusher is the better choice. If a crushing process for materials with higher hardness is required, like for river pebble, granite, you’d like to choose a cone crusher.
