How a cone crusher works?

Cone Crusher, also called conical crusher by some area, is one of the main types of stone crushers in a quarry plant or ore processing plant. Cone crushers are designated in size either by the gap and mantle diameter or by the size of the receiving opening.

Cone crushers can be used for primary or secondary crushing. The crushing action is caused by the closing of the gap between the mantle line (movable) mounted on the central vertical spindle and the concave liners (fixed) mounted on the main frame of the crusher. The gap is opened and closed by an eccentric on the bottom of the spindle that causes the central vertical spindle to gyrate. The vertical spindle is free to rotate around its own axis.
