Since its inception in the early 20th century, cone crushers have evolved through various stages of development, including the Simmons cone crusher, bottom-type single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher, high-energy hydraulic cone crusher, suspended disc cone crusher, heavy-duty short-head cone crusher, and ultra-fine crushing cone crusher.
Cone crushers are widely used in mining, ore crushing, metallurgy, chemicals, construction, construction waste recycling, cement, and sand and gravel manufacturing.
Cone crushers offer excellent performance and low operating costs, but their unit price ranges from 200,000 RMB to 5 million RMB. The quality and stability of cone crushers reflect the technological strength of China's mining equipment manufacturers.
Spring cone crushers are widely used due to their low price. In the past decade, with technological advancements, economic development, and policy guidance, efficiency, safety, and environmental protection have become mainstream trends, and multi-cylinder and single-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers have gradually gained popularity.
Product Analysis
The mainstream cone crusher series products on the market currently include: spring cone crusher, multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher and single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher.
The spring cone crusher is mainly divided into six assemblies in terms of structure: fixed cone assembly, movable cone assembly, transmission assembly, spring mechanism, bowl-shaped shaft frame part and frame assembly. Its auxiliary parts are composed of electrical system and thin oil lubrication system.
The multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher has the following six parts:
(1) Lower frame part: frame main shaft guide pin
(2) Eccentric sleeve part: eccentric sleeve balance ring large bevel gear;
(3) Transmission part: transmission shaft small bevel gear shaft sleeve;
(4) Support sleeve part: support sleeve locking cylinder locking nut;
(5) Adjustment ring part: adjustment ring, mortar wall;
(6) Moving cone part: body crushing wall hammer head spherical bushing. Its auxiliary parts are composed of electrical system and thin oil lubrication system.
The structure of a single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is mainly divided into six parts:
(1) Upper frame assembly;
(2) Lower frame assembly;
(3) Moving cone assembly;
(4) Drive shaft assembly;
(5) Eccentric sleeve assembly;
(6) Hydraulic cylinder assembly. Its auxiliary parts are composed of electrical system and thin oil lubrication system.
Differences between multi-cylinder and single-bar hydraulic cone crushers
The main shaft of a multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is stationary. The hydraulic pusher or hydraulic motor drives the adjusting ring through the adjusting cap to rotate it in the support sleeve, thereby adjusting the size of the discharge opening.
The main shaft of a single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is rotating. Under the action of the hydraulic cylinder, the main shaft is lifted or lowered, thereby adjusting the size of the discharge opening.
In comparison, the requirements for technology and material selection of single-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers are more advanced and strict.
As the mainstream cone crusher products on the current market, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the three series of spring, multi-cylinder and single-cylinder?
Technology Comparison
Leading manufacturers, with advanced technology, sophisticated machining, and standardized processes, often prioritize equipment research and development, introducing advanced technologies from abroad. The rigor, meticulousness, and intelligent nature of their equipment processing, as well as their mastery of key technologies, are unattainable for smaller manufacturers.
Take quality inspection as an example. Large manufacturers generally maintain stringent quality control procedures, with specialized material testing procedures for incoming materials. All castings bearing high pressure or loads undergo penetrant testing (primarily targeting areas prone to cracking and high stress), and all moving parts, such as bearings and spindles, undergo ultrasonic testing.
