Friends who have learned about gyratory crushers and cone crushers know that these two crushers have similarities in appearance, structure, and principle. So which of these two crushers is better for crushing stones? Let's first understand the differences between the two from many aspects, and which crusher is better to choose.
What is the difference between a gyratory crusher and a cone crusher?
Comparison of the structure of gyratory cone crusher and cone crusher:
1. Comparison of crushing chamber shape
The two cones of the gyratory crusher are both steeply inclined, the movable cone is an upright truncated cone, and the fixed cone is an inverted truncated cone, which is mainly to increase the feed opening.
Both cones of the cone crusher are gently inclined upright truncated cones, and there is a parallel crushing area (parallel belt) of a certain length between the two cones, which is to control the product particle size.
2. Comparison of the suspension method of the moving cone
The moving cone of the gyratory crusher is suspended on the crossbeam of the frame; the moving cone of the cone crusher is supported by a spherical bearing.
3. Comparison of ways to adjust the discharge opening
When adjusting the size of the discharge opening of a gyratory crusher, it is adjusted by the rise or fall of the movable cone, while the cone crusher adjusts the discharge size by adjusting the height position of the fixed cone.
Which one is better, a gyratory crusher or a cone crusher? Above, we have learned the difference between a gyratory crusher and a cone crusher. That is: a gyratory crusher is used for the coarse crushing of stones in a sand and gravel plant, while a cone crusher is a medium and fine crushing machine in a production line， commonly used for hard rocks such as quartz, feldspar, nepheline. So there is no standard answer to this question that which one is better. You have to choose according to how big the material you want to crush is.
