Crushing equipment plays a vital role in the configuration of the construction sand and aggregate production line. Reasonable equipment configuration is related to the investment cost, production cost, product quality and product yield of the entire production line. For secondary crushing equipment, cone crusher and impact crusher are commonly used equipment, so what is the difference between the two and how to choose?

1. Different structure The same two-stage crushing equipment, the obvious difference between the impact crusher and the cone crusher is that the crushing principle and appearance structure are different, which is easy to distinguish.

2. Different working principles The impact crusher adopts the principle of impact crushing, and the material is repeatedly impacted and broken between the plate hammer and the impact plate. The cone crusher uses a combination of squeezing, shearing, and milling to crush. The wall of the rolling mortar continuously moves to the crushing wall, squeezing the material sandwiched between the two to make it crush.

3. Different scope of application Both impact crusher and cone crusher can be used as secondary crushing equipment, but the hardness of the materials crushed by the two is different. The cone crusher mainly crushes some hard materials, such as granite, basalt, tuff, river pebbles, etc. The impact crusher is used to crush materials with low hardness and brittleness, such as limestone and limestone.

4. Different discharge sizes The discharging granularity of the crushed materials of the two types of crushers is different. Generally speaking, the cone crusher is smaller than the impact crusher. In the actual production process, cone crushers are often used in the beneficiation process, while impact crushers are used in building materials and construction projects.

5. Different finished products The impact crusher has good grain shape, fewer edges and corners of the finished product, and more powder; the finished product of the cone crusher has more needle and flake particles. Impact Crusher

6. Different processing capacity Compared with the impact crusher, the cone crusher has the characteristics of low energy consumption, large output, and stable production. Therefore, the cone crusher is often used for large-scale and high-yield production lines.

7. Different input costs The price of the cone crusher is more expensive than the impact crusher, but its wearing parts have a long life, avoiding the trouble of frequent replacement of parts. From a long-term perspective, the cone crusher is more cost-effective than the impact crusher. The initial purchase cost of the impact crusher is low, and the later maintenance cost is higher; the early stage cost of the cone crusher is high, and the later investment cost is lower.
