Cone Crushers
Cone crushers are high-performance machines used in crushing and screening plants, particularly in the secondary and tertiary crushing stages of hard, abrasive, and high-silica materials (basalt, granite, river material, etc.). Their significantly lower wear costs compared to impact crushers make them the most efficient and economical solution for such demanding applications.
Working Principle: Crushing by Compression
The working principle of cone crushers is based on crushing the material by compression rather than impact:
- The material passes through the top of the crusher, a fixed outer ring "concave" (konkeyv) with an inner cone-shaped structure rotating in an eccentric motion inside it "mantle" is fed between.
- The mantle oscillates in a circular orbit thanks to the eccentric shaft. During this motion, the space between the mantle and the concave (the crushing chamber) continuously expands and contracts.
- The material is crushed by being squeezed into the narrower side of the crushing chamber. When the gap widens again, the crushed material moves downward under the influence of gravity.
- This compression and release cycle is repeated repeatedly until the material reaches a size that can pass through the adjustable outlet opening (CSS - Close Side Setting) at the bottom of the crusher. This results in a homogeneous, cubic product.
Advantages and Application Areas
- Low Operating Cost: Thanks to the compression crushing principle and high manganese steel cast wear parts (mantle and concave), the production cost per ton is very low, especially for abrasive materials.
- High Quality Cubic Product: Controlled crushing action ensures the production of aggregate with high cubic ratio required for concrete and asphalt production.
- High Capacity and Efficiency: Its strong body structure and efficient crushing chamber design provide uninterrupted operation at high tonnages.
- Flexible and Secure Setting: Hydraulic adjustment systems allow for easy and safe product size (CSS) changes. They also provide overload protection against unbreakable material entering the system.
