A cone-type rock crusher, commonly known as a cone crusher, is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into smaller pieces of rock, gravel, or rock dust. It is typically used in mining and aggregate industries to crush materials into specific sizes for various construction and road-building applications.
The crusher operates by utilizing a mantle that gyrates within a concave bowl. The material is fed into the top of the cone crusher and is crushed between the mantle and the bowl liner as the mantle moves eccentrically. Through this crushing action, the rocks are broken down into smaller, more uniform pieces. Cone crushers are known for their high efficiency, versatility, and ability to produce a variety of end-product sizes.
