What Is The Difference Between A Cone Crusher And A Hammer Crusher?

In the field of sand and gravel secondary crushing. The commonly used medium and fine crushing equipment are: impact crusher, cone crusher, hammer crusher and so on. In our previous article, we shared the difference between impact and hammer. Today we are going to introduce in detail: the difference between cone crusher and hammer crusher. Including the scope of application, processing effect, crushing effect and so on.

Scope of application: Cone crusher is often applied to medium hardness and high hardness material crushing. For example: granite, basalt, marble, river pebbles, gold ore, barite, limestone and so on. Hammer crusher is suitable for crushing materials with medium hardness. For example: coal, gypsum, masonry, limestone, brick and tile, etc.. Generally do not deal with high hardness materials. It will cause the hammer head to wear out too fast. The replacement frequency of wearing parts is high.

Crushing effect: the cone crusher crushes the material more uniform effect. The range of granularity of the material obtained is smaller. Hammer crusher produces a large amount of fine crushed materials in the crushing process. The granularity of the discharged material is not uniform enough. It is easy to appear too fine or too coarse materials.

What Is The Difference Between A Cone Crusher And A Hammer Crusher?

Working principle: Cone crusher is through the cone in the crushing chamber constantly rotating, so that the input material for extrusion, shearing and crushing. So as to achieve crushing. Hammer crusher uses the high-speed rotating hammer head to crush the materials. The material enters the crushing chamber. It is subjected to the impact and friction of the hammer head. Eventually, the crushing of the required materials is completed.

Applicable stage: Cone crusher can be used for medium and fine crushing. It is commonly used in the production line of secondary crushing. Hammer crusher is mainly used for coarse crushing. It can also be used as fine crushing.

Feed size: The maximum feed size of cone crusher is 300mm, which is more suitable for fine crushing. The maximum feed size of hammer crusher is 1200mm, which is more suitable for coarse crushing and fine crushing.

There are many types of crushers. Each kind of equipment has its own characteristics and different advantages. The scope of application is also different. We can design customised solutions according to your needs. Contact us. Get free technical solutions and quotation.
