Cone Crushers are used in mining, construction and metallurgical applications to crush medium to high hardness materials such as ores and rocks.
Understanding the classification of cone crushers is an important part of understanding equipment selection. This article introduces the 5 main classifications of cone crushers so that you can make a good purchase.
1.Single-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher
It is characterized by a single-cylinder hydraulic system for adjustment and overload protection, relatively compact structure and small footprint. And the crushing chamber is reasonably designed to realize efficient crushing.
Applicable Scenarios：
Applications in disciplines where particle shape is critical (e.g. produce construction aggregates).
Medium- and ultra-fine crushing applications, processing a material with medium to high level of hardness, with broad production rates (50-2000 tons/hour).
Advantages：
It is easy to operate and fast to adjust the discharge opening; the overload protection is sensitive and reliable, which can effectively avoid hard objects from damaging the equipment; the production efficiency is quite high and the energy consumption is relatively low.
Disadvantages:
The adaptability to some special materials is relatively weak; when the processing capacity is very large, the performance may not be as stable as the Hydraulic Multi-Cylinder Cone Crusher.
2.Multi-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher
This type of crusher is equipped with several hydraulic cylinders, which are distributed in different positions of the equipment, and work together to realize the discharge opening adjustment and overload protection. The crushing performance is superior.
Applicable Scenarios：
Multi-Cylinder Cone Crushers work well in scenarios with high requirements for particle shape (like building aggregate production).
Mid-range to fine crushing to ultra-fine crushing, it can process medium to high hardness materials, with a very wide production capacity range (50-2000 tons/hour).
Advantages:
Large crushing ratio, uniform product size; strong adaptability to materials of various hardness and nature, capable of handling complex materials; good production stability, and can be operated continuously for a long time.
Disadvantages:
Equipment manufacturing cost is relatively high; complex structure leads to maintenance difficulties, maintenance costs are also relatively high; covers a large area, requires a large installation space.
3.Spring Cone Crusher
Though standard, the Spring Cone Crusher has a lot of advantages. The spring device serves as an overload protection feature and as a discharge port adjustment; is classic structure, and mature technological level.
Applicable scenarios:
The Spring Cone Crusher can be applied to relatively small and intermediate large mines, and any budgets to building materials factories with a low production capacity (the low production capacity with a low production capacity is usually 10-500 T/h)
With a production line that had a low degree of process automation.
Advantages:
The Spring Cone Crusher has low manufacturing costs, and has a relatively low price; easy maintenance and a simple way of operation and maintenance; crushing effect is good for middle hardness material as well.
Disadvantages:
The overload protection is relatively weak, and the discharge port adjustment is cumbersome, it had relatively limited production efficiency and of high energy consumption.
4.Mobile Cone Crusher
Mobile Cone Crusher is an integrated device that has a binaries of Single-cylinder and Multi-cylinder Cone Crusher, alongside Feeder, Vibrating Screen, for changing or with other devices to be installed on the mobile chassis (tired or crawler type); are highly variable and flexible.
Application Scenarios of the Mobile Cone Crushers:
To large-scale open-pit mines, construction waste resource utilization, and the on-site sand and gravel aggregate crushing in road construction.
The Mobile Cone Crushing plant can be applied to high site flexibility requirements of construction waste resource utilization material, and high transport cost of material costs.
Advantages of Mobile Cone Crushers:
No need for a fixed foundation, it can be conveniently transported to the site of work to save lots of material transport cost.
Support on or several type combination of Cone Crushing Station (e.g. Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher + Vibrating Screen), adjacent of different configurations, and the realization of “crush-screen”can be integrated.
Final Thought:
Single Cylinder Cone Crusher is efficient, Multi-Cylinder Cone Crusher is strong and stable, Spring Cone Crusher is low cost for operation, Mobile Cone Crusher is flexible, which can satisfy your various crushing requirements.
Sandreck is one of several cone crusher suppliers in China, offering a variety of cheap price cone crushers, for different stages of crushing rock, and different kinds of rocks.
