A Cone Crusher is a type of compression machine designed to reduce the volume of materials by compressing or squeezing materials that are fed into the machine between a piece of steel that is stationary, and another piece of steel that moves. The reduction and final sizing will be determined by the gap present between the 2 crushing members located at its lowest point.
As the eccentric(excéntrico) or wedge rotates which creates a compression inside the chamber, the materials start getting smaller. The materials then start moving down through a wear-liner while the opening inside the cavity starts getting tighter. The compressed or crushed materials are then discharged from the bottom once it has successfully passed through the gap or cavity.
The Cone Crusher typically delivers a 4:1 to 6:1 reduction ratio. As the closed-side setting is set tighter it creates an output that is finer, along with reducing the throughput capacity or the volume of the Cone Crusher machine. In general, multiplying the side setting that is closed by 2 is an average guideline linked to the “top” size of gradation that exits these machines.
Cone Crusher Uses
Cone crushers come in bearing, brushing, or combinations of sleeve bearing and roller bearing types. The bearing cones run more efficiently and cooler, which allows for an increase in applied horsepower to crush rocks rather than producing excess heat. The brushing cones need more active and larger oil coolers and larger amounts of lubricating oil. Yet these are less costly to repair or build.
The parts that are replaced the most often in cone crushers are the wear-liners inside the crusher chambers. This part is made up of a bowl and a mantle. When handling finer products, the setting should be adjusted in the way of adding a specialized liner, concave rings, and a specified mantle. This reduces the angularity and opening between the concave and head, which allows for a finished product that is more specialized.
Product gradations and capacities produced by the cone crushers are impacted by the actual feeding method that is used, the characteristics of the materials, the machine’s speed, the applied power, along with other factors.
Compressive strength(Fuerza compresiva), material hardness, grain structure, mineral content, plasticity, shape, and size of the fed particles, along with the moisture content are going to affect the outcome of the gradations and capacities.
The Cone Crusher is regarded as one of the compression crusher types that are used by many industrial sectors. These often include fracking sand, crushing, concrete, mining, coal, and aggregate industries to reduce materials by either compressing or squeezing them until they break down into smaller pieces.
Cone crushers come in various configurations to match all types of crushing needs(necesidades de trituracion). This includes liner configurations that match up to finer-sized or larger materials, minimal choke feed that matches up to various types of crusher-cavity volumes, mobile (wheeled), track, and stationary crushers. These crushers can also be used from either primary, tertiary, secondary, or a quaternary position within a crushing circuit.
