Crusher Cone Crusher Installation

What is a cone crusher?

Cone crushers are a type of compression crusher used by aggregate, coal, concrete, crushing, fracking sand, and mining industries, which reduces material by squeezing or compressing it until it breaks. Specifically, cone crushers use compression within a chamber lined with wear-resisting material such as manganese steel or rubber. The main advantage of using a cone crusher instead of other crushing equipment is that it significantly reduces the cost of production while still providing high levels of performance and satisfaction.

In addition to its low cost of production, cone crushers are also known for their versatility and ability to crush hard or soft materials with equal efficiency. Whether you need a machine for secondary or tertiary crushing, there’s a cone crusher to suit your needs. With so many advantages, it’s no wonder that cone crushers are the most commonly used type of crushing equipment in the world today.

Different types of cone crushers

Cone crushers are available in different designs. With the cone crushers used in secondary or tertiary crushing stages, the crusher bowl is mounted with a threaded ring nut on the upper side and an eccentric bushing on the bottom side. The bowl can be rotated by a conehead via a bevel gear pair. The eccentric bushing is supported by a frame structure which is mounted on an adjustable baseframe.

The most common type of cone crusher is the hydrostatic cone crusher. This uses a fluid to support and rotate the mantle. The hydrostatic cone crusher has two main supporting bearings, one at each end of the main shaft. The weight of the mantle and bowl liner are supported by these bearings, so that no metal-to-metal contact takes place between them. As a result, there is no wear on these parts, which results in lower operating costs for this type of cone crusher.

Another common type of cone crusher is the gyratory or "G" cone crusher. In this type of machine, the concave surface of the mantle supports a vertical shaft instead of being completely flat as in the hydrostatic design mentioned above. Gyratory cones also have an annular chamber between their crushing surfaces which helps to protect down-stream circuits from tramp material or excessive pressures during operation.

How does a cone crusher work?

Cone crushers are a type of compression crusher used by aggregate, coal, concrete, crushing, fracking sand, and mining industries, which reduces material by squeezing or compressing it until it breaks. Specifically, cone crushers use compression within a rotating cone to break up materials.

Compression is the main principle in cone crushing. As material enters the top of the cone crusher, it's crushed by compressing force between the mantle and bowl liner until it exits at the bottom. The final product's size depends on two factors: how wide the discharge opening is and how big the setting circle diameter is.

The size of the discharge opening is controlled by adjusting the sleeve (the uppermost part of a cone crusher that holds the cone liner in place). The width of the discharge opening determines how large particles can exit; a wider setting allows bigger pieces to pass while a narrower one traps smaller pieces inside. The circle diameter sets how deep into material the mantle can descend before it crushes against bowl liner — this affects particle shape (more on that later).

How to install cone crusher

1. Select the position of the cone crusher installation site;

2. Pre-excavation and leveling of installation sites to ensure that the installation base is stable and reliable;

3. Set up a steel frame for the cone crusher;

4. Install the new cone crusher on the prepared base;

5. Check whether all fasteners are tightened and whether there is any abnormal phenomenon during the installation process;

6. Connect power supply, start up the machine, and carry out trial operation to check whether it works normally.

Tips for choosing the right cone crusher

There are a number of things to consider when choosing the right cone crusher for your application. Here are some tips:

1. Make sure you understand the difference between a gyratory and a cone crusher. Gyratory crushers are suitable for primary crushing, while cone crushers are typically used for secondary or tertiary crushing.

2. Consider your feed material. Cone crushers can handle a wide range of materials, but they are best suited for medium to hard rocks and ores.

3. Choose a reputable manufacturer. When choosing a cone crusher, it's important to select one from a reputable manufacturer that has experience in the market and is known for producing high quality products.

4. Consider your budget. Cone crushers can be expensive, so it's important to consider your budget when making your purchase.
