How Does the Cone Crusher Work?

Cone crusher is mostly used to crush medium-hard materials. In fact, the appearance of the cone crusher doesn't look like a cone. It is surrounded with several industrial-strength springs. The cone crusher is named after its inner-workings. Cone crusher has a large opening which is used to feed in materials, when materials are poured into the opening, then the central shaft and the crushing plate will work together to break down the materials. The size gets slimmer from the opening to the bottom and the materials gets smaller as well.

Cone crusher needs lots of power to crush rocks and the power comes from diesel or electric. The shaft is turned by the belt drive and attached to the mantle. The mantle press materials against the wall to crush them into smaller pieces. When the materials are small enough, they will fall though the bottom.

The cone crusher has a high production but as usual, it can be only used as a secondary crushing machine. The materials it crushes have been crushed once by the primary crusher, such as jaw crusher. And the size of the materials should be less than 3 inches. At the same time, the hardness of the materials should be medium.
