In a 100tph stone crushing system, the following factors need to be considered when choosing a suitable cone crusher:
1. Crushing material characteristics
- Hardness: For high-hardness materials (such as granite and basalt), it is recommended to use a multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher because of its strong crushing force and good wear resistance.
- Humidity and viscosity: Wet and sticky materials (such as limestone) are suitable for single-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers, which have a simple structure and are not easy to clog.
2. Discharge particle size requirements
- Coarse crushing: If a larger discharge particle size is required, a single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is more suitable.
- Medium and fine crushing: If a smaller discharge particle size is required, a multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is better because it has a wider adjustment range.

3. Capacity requirements
- The 100tph capacity is medium-sized, and both single-cylinder and multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers can meet it, but multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers have more advantages in efficiency and stability.
4. Equipment cost and maintenance
- Single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher: simple structure, low maintenance cost, suitable for limited budget.
- Multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher: high initial investment, but low long-term operating cost, suitable for long-term high-load operation.
5. Automation degree
- Multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher has a high degree of automation and is suitable for modern production lines; single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is suitable for occasions with low automation requirements.
Recommended types:
- Multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher: suitable for high-hardness materials, small discharge particle size, high production capacity requirements and high automation requirements.
- Single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher: suitable for medium-hardness materials, large discharge particle size, medium production capacity requirements and limited budget.
For a 100tph stone crushing system, if the material hardness is high, the discharge particle size requirement is small and the budget is sufficient, it is recommended to use a multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher; if the material hardness is medium, the discharge particle size requirement is large and the budget is limited, a single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is more suitable.
