A cone crusher is a type of heavy-duty machinery used in the mining, quarrying, and construction industries to break down large rocks into smaller, more manageable pieces. It works by using a crushing cone that gyrates in an eccentric motion inside a hardened steel bowl. The rocks are fed into the top of the crusher and fall into the space between the two surfaces, where they are crushed until they are small enough to pass through the narrow opening at the bottom.
Cone crushers are known for their efficiency, precision, and ability to produce a uniform product size. They are often used as secondary or tertiary crushers, following the initial crushing processes, to achieve finer material. Some popular brands and models of cone crushers include Metso, Sandvik, and Terex, among others.
