What are the advantages of cone crusher compared to ordinary crusher?

Analysis of the core advantages of cone crusher compared to ordinary crusher

Advantages of cone crusher, comparison with ordinary crusher, and applicable scenarios of cone crusher

As a core equipment in the field of fine and medium processing, cone crusher has demonstrated many advantages in multiple aspects due to its unique working principle and structural design. The following are its main advantages compared to ordinary crushers such as jaw crushers and impact crushers:

1. High processing capability and stability

Capacity and crushing efficiency of cone crusher

Advantages Description:

The cone crusher adopts the principle of laminated crushing, which continuously squeezes and crushes materials between the moving cone and the fixed cone, resulting in a larger processing capacity per unit time. It is particularly suitable for large-scale continuous production of medium and high hardness materials such as granite and basalt. Compared to the intermittent squeezing or impact crushing of jaw crushers, its production capacity stability is higher and energy consumption is lower.

2. The finished product has a better particle shape and a lower needle like content

Finished particle shape and quality of sand and gravel aggregates of cone crusher

Advantages Description:

The material particles produced by the cone crusher through laminated crushing are mostly cubic in shape, and the needle like content is significantly lower than that of ordinary impact crushers. This characteristic makes it more competitive in the field of building materials (such as sand and gravel aggregates for highways and high-speed railways), and the finished products can be directly used for high specification projects.

3. High degree of automation and low maintenance costs

Hydraulic system and intelligent adjustment of cone crusher

Advantages Description:

Modern cone crushers are equipped with hydraulic adjustment discharge ports, hydraulic cleaning chambers, and overload protection systems. Operators can remotely monitor the equipment's operating status and quickly adjust parameters. Compared to jaw crushers that require manual adjustment of gaskets or frequent replacement of plate hammers in impact crushers, cone crushers have a longer maintenance cycle and lower overall operation and maintenance costs.

4. Wear resistant parts have a long service life and low failure rate

Wear resistant parts and equipment durability of cone crusher

Advantages Description:

The core wear-resistant components of the cone crusher (such as the rolling bowl wall and crushing wall) are made of high manganese steel or composite alloy materials, and the instantaneous impact load is reduced due to laminated crushing. The service life of the wear-resistant parts is 2-3 times that of the ordinary impact crusher plate hammer. Meanwhile, the enclosed structural design reduces the erosion of dust on the bearings, resulting in a lower overall failure rate of the equipment.

5. Strong adaptability, capable of processing high hardness materials

Cone crusher for high hardness materials and multi scenario applications

Advantages Description:

The adaptability of cone crushers to high hardness and high abrasive materials (such as iron ore and quartz) far exceeds that of ordinary impact crushers. Although jaw crushers can handle high hardness materials, the final particle shape is poor and requires secondary crushing with cone crushers, while cone crushers can independently complete medium and fine crushing processing.
