What is a cone crusher?

Cone crusher is a type of mining crusher. Crusher is widely used in many sectors such as mining, smelting, building materials, highways, railways, water conservancy and chemical industries. Cone crushers are commonly used in the mining and aggregates industries for secondary and tertiary crushing of various types of rocks and ores. Cone crushers have many advantages, such as large crushing ratio, high efficiency, low energy consumption, and uniform product particle size. It is suitable for medium and fine crushing of various ores and rocks. The name “cone crusher” comes from its shape, because the crushing mechanism consists of a cone-shaped crushing chamber. The crushing chamber rotates within a larger stationary bowl.

Working principle of cone crusher

Under the action of the driving force of the electric motor, the pulley and the V-belt, the cone crusher starts to work. When the cone crusher is working, the drive shaft starts to rotate. Then, the transmission shaft drives the eccentric sleeve to rotate around the main axis. At the same time, the eccentric sleeve makes the moving cone swing. This motion trajectory makes the distance between the moving cone and the fixed cone sometimes close and sometimes far. The rock or ore is squeezed and impacted in the crushing cavity (the space between the moving cone and the fixed cone). Until the rock or ore is crushed to the required size. Finally, the materials that meet the discharge standards are discharged from the cone crusher.
