What is the difference between impact crusher and cone crusher?

Impact crusher and cone crusher are common mining machinery and equipment, they have obvious differences in working principle, scope of application, crushing effect and so on.

First of all, in the working principle, the impact crusher adopts the impact crushing method, and the material is crushed by repeated collisions between the plate hammer and the impact plate. The cone crusher is the use of laminated crushing principle, the material in the rolling mortar wall and crushing wall between the extrusion and crushing.

Secondly, in the scope of application, the impact crusher is mainly suitable for crushing medium and soft materials, such as limestone, coal gangue, etc., with good particle type and less powder content. The cone crusher is mainly suitable for crushing medium hardness above the material, such as granite, basalt, crushing effect is good, but the material moisture content requirements are high, not more than 8%-10%.

In addition, in terms of crushing effect, the material after crushing by the impact crusher has good particle shape and few edges and corners, but the powder content is more. The cone crusher crushed materials are mostly needle flake, grain shape is not very good, but the dust content is less.

Finally, in terms of production capacity and input cost, the production capacity of impact crushers is generally higher than that of cone crushers, but its price is relatively low, which is suitable for small and medium-sized production lines. The cone crusher, although the price is higher, but its wear resistance is good, suitable for large-scale high-yield production line operations.

In summary, the impact crusher and the cone crusher each have their own characteristics and scope of application. Users should choose the appropriate crushing equipment according to their needs and material properties.
