Which is lower cost, impact crusher or cone crusher?
Both the impact crusher and the cone crusher belong to the stone crushing equipment. They are suitable for processing stones of different hardness and types. Therefore, there is no question of which is low in cost. The first thing to consider is whether it is suitable or not.
The impact crusher is suitable for processing limestone, bluestone, calcite, dolomite and other medium and low hardness stones, and is used in the fine crushing link after jaw crushing. The initial investment cost of cone crushing is relatively high for this kind of stone, and counter-attack crushing can be competent, which can greatly reduce the investment cost of equipment.
Cone crusher is suitable for processing granite, basalt, river pebbles, pebbles, diabase and other hard rocks, as well as gold ore, copper ore, iron ore, manganese ore and other metal ores, these ores are relatively high in hardness, SMMVIK HPT/ HST series hydraulic cone crusher adopts the hydraulic system and the principle of lamination crushing, which can cleverly utilize the compression and crushing of the interlayer of materials, which can not only effectively reduce the wear of machine parts, but also have better grain shape of the finished product, which enjoys high praise in the field of hard rock crushing.
Therefore, for hard rock and metal ores, if the impact crusher is used as the secondary crusher, the initial cost is low, but the machine is easily damaged and the maintenance cost is high in the later stage. For hard stones, it can only be said that it is more suitable to use a cone crusher.
