1.1. Operating principles of a cone crusher

In a cone crusher the process material is crushed between two rigid
surfaces. The motion of the moving surface is independent of the load
on the crusher. Crushing is achieved by an eccentric gyratory
movement of the mainshaft (6). Individual pieces of process material (e.
g. rock or ore) are nipped, compressed and crushed between the
mantle (4) and the concave ring (3).
The quality and quantity of the product mostly depend on the crushing
chamber’s geometry, the crusher’s dynamics and the process material.
The concave ring (3), mantle (4), eccentric assembly (5) and the
location of the pivot point determine the crushing chamber geometry.
The crusher’s drive motor rotates the eccentric assembly (5) at a
constant speed through a gear transmission. The rotation of the
eccentric assembly (5) causes the lower end of the mainshaft (6) to
gyrate. The spider bearing (1) acts as pivot point for this gyrating
motion. The mantle (4) is fixed to the mainshaft (6)and the concave ring
(3) is fixed to the topshell (2). The gyration of the mainshaft means that
the distance between the mantle (4) and the concave ring (3)
continually varies. When this distance decreases the incoming process
material is crushed. When the mantle (4) moves away from the concave
ring (3), the process material flows down through the crushing chamber.
The mantle (4) and the concave ring (3) must be replaced regularly as
they are continuously worn. The wear rate depends on the process
material.
