What is the difference between a standard and shorthead cone crusher?

The primary difference between a standard cone crusher and a shorthead cone crusher lies in the design and usage of the crushing chambers.

1. Crushing Chamber Design:

   • Standard Cone Crusher: The standard design has a steeper crushing chamber with a larger feed opening for accepting bigger material sizes. It provides a coarser output.
   • Shorthead Cone Crusher: The shorthead design has a flatter angle and a smaller feed opening, leading to finer crushing. The crushing chambers are designed to produce more fine material.

2. Application:

   • Standard Cone Crusher: Typically used for secondary or tertiary crushing where a larger feed size and coarser output is acceptable.
   • Shorthead Cone Crusher: Often employed in tertiary or quaternary stages where finer output is required.

3. Output Size:

   • Standard Cone Crusher: Produces larger, more coarse material.
   • Shorthead Cone Crusher: Produces finer, more uniform material.

In summary, standard cone crushers are ideal for larger feed sizes and less fine output, while shorthead cone crushers are better suited for producing finer material with more precise size distribution.
