The production capacity of the cone crusher is affected by the hardness, humidity, fineness and composition of the material. To increase production, you need to control feeding, monitor discharge, and check water seals and wear parts. Pay attention to pre-start inspection, correct starting sequence, no-load operation and shutdown procedures. Scientific operation can improve crushing efficiency and achieve economic benefits.

Cone crusher is an important equipment commonly used in mining crushing production, but improper operation will significantly affect its production capacity. This article will analyze for you the factors that affect the production capacity of the cone crusher and how to improve the output.

1. Factors affecting the production capacity of cone crusher

Material hardness: Materials with higher hardness are more difficult to crush and cause more serious wear on the equipment, directly reducing the crushing efficiency. Therefore, it is crucial to select the appropriate crusher specifications to match the material hardness.

Material humidity: High-humidity materials are easy to adhere and may cause blockage during transportation, thus affecting crushing capacity.

Discharge fineness: If the required fineness is too high, the crusher will need greater crushing force, which will reduce its production capacity. It is recommended to set the material particle size to medium fine.

Material composition: Excessive fine powder content will affect the crushing efficiency. The materials need to be screened before entering the crusher to ensure normal operation.

2. Methods to increase the output of cone crusher

Feeding requirements: Ensure that the feeder feeds according to the imported particle size standards of the cone crusher to avoid too much or too little.

Monitor discharge: Keep an eye on the discharge of the crusher at any time, control the running speed of the conveyor belt, and ensure normal feeding and discharge.

Regularly check the water seal: Regularly check the drainage of the water seal and dustproof to ensure sufficient water to avoid affecting the crushing work.

Maintenance of wearing parts: Regularly check the wear of wearing parts such as lining plates, and adjust the lining plate fixing bolts in time to prevent equipment damage.

3. Operation precautions

Pre-start inspection: Check the lubrication system and belt tension, and make sure all bolts are tight.

Correct starting sequence: start the oil pump motor first, and then start the main motor after the lubrication system is normal.

No-load operation: The equipment should be operated at no-load for 1-2 minutes before feeding the ore. Pay special attention to the risk of clogging of mud-containing or high-moisture ores.

Stopping process: During normal shutdown, first stop feeding the ore, then stop the main motor after the ore is removed, and finally stop the oil pump motor and check the equipment status.

Through the above measures, mine operators can effectively improve the production efficiency of the cone crusher and achieve higher economic benefits. Choosing appropriate equipment and scientific operating procedures are the keys to increasing production.
