An overpressure fan in a cone crusher serves an essential purpose in maintaining the proper function and longevity of the equipment. By creating a positive pressure environment within certain compartments of the cone crusher, the overpressure fan helps to prevent dust, dirt, and other contaminants from entering critical areas such as the lubrication system or electrical components. This reduces the risk of mechanical wear and potential damage, ensuring smooth operation and reducing the likelihood of expensive maintenance or downtime.
