CONE CRUSHER

What is a Cone Crusher?

Cone crushers comprise two main parts: a fixed conical body that narrows toward the top, and a movable cone at the top that is mounted on an eccentric shaft through the center of the body. Under the effects of the eccentric shaft, the inner cone rotates within the fixed outer cone causing the distance between the inner and outer lining to narrow and expand, and any rock fed between the two linings is broken. In these crushers, the crushing process relies on compressive force, and the ore fragments break into smaller sizes as they move towards the bottom of the crusher and the outlet mouth under their own weight.

For what processes/applications are cone crushers used?

Cone crushers are commonly used as secondary and tertiary crushers, and sometimes as fourth stage crushers for finer crushing and when breaking very hard materials.

They are used to crush materials to a wide range of sizes, and are provided in two main types – standard and short-head cone crushers. Standard cones crushers carry our secondary applications while, short-head cone crushers carry out tertiary and fourth-stage operations. The cone angle is large in standard cone crushers, and smaller in short-head crushers.

Although there is no definite classification, the liners of such crushers are classified as "very large size", "large size" and "medium size" in standard cone crushers, and "medium size", "fine" size and "very fine size" in short-head cone crushers. grouping is available.
