A cone crusher is a type of crusher that reduces abrasive and hard materials (rocks, ores, concrete, etc.) into smaller sizes by compressing them between a fixed outer cone (bowl) and a rotating inner cone (mantle) driven by an eccentric mechanism. It is widely used in secondary or tertiary crushing stages.
Function:

  • Crushes materials into fine and uniform sizes (e.g., 0-20 mm, 5-40 mm).

  • Ensures high-efficiency continuous production.

  • Durable wear-resistant parts extend operational life.
    How It Works:

  1. Feeding: Material is fed into the top feed hopper.

  2. Crushing: The inner cone (mantle) rotates eccentrically, compressing the material against the outer cone (bowl) to break it down.

  3. Discharge: Crushed material exits through the adjustable discharge gap at the bottom.

  4. Hydraulic System: The crusher gap and product size can be adjusted in real-time via a hydraulic system.
    Applications:

  • Mining (gold, copper, iron ore processing).

  • Aggregate production (sand and gravel for concrete and asphalt).

  • Road construction (base material preparation).

  • Cement and lime plants.

  • Recycling (processing construction waste).
