What are the factors that affect the production capacity of cone crushers?

There are many factors that affect the production efficiency of cone crushers, and the following are the main ones:

1. Material hardness

The production capacity of cone crushers is deeply affected by the hardness of materials. The greater the hardness of the material, the more difficult it is to crush, which in turn reduces the production capacity of the crusher. High-hardness materials will also aggravate the wear of crusher components and further weaken its production capacity. When choosing a cone crusher, we must fully consider the hardness of the material being processed to ensure that the specifications of the crusher match the hardness of the material.

2. Material composition

The fine powder content in the material has a direct impact on the crushing efficiency of the cone crusher. When there are too many fine powders, they tend to stick together or adhere to the crushing wall during the crushing process, which will reduce the working efficiency of the crusher. To ensure the efficient operation of the cone crusher, it is recommended to pre-screen the material before it enters the crusher, that is, to perform a screening. It can effectively reduce the content of fine powder, reduce its interference in the crushing process, and ensure that the crusher can work normally and efficiently.

3. Particle size of crushed materials

If the fineness requirement of the crushed materials is very high, then the greater the force the crusher needs to use to crush the materials, the smaller the crushing capacity of the crusher, and the production capacity of the cone crusher will also decrease. Therefore, in general, it is only necessary to set the particle size of the materials to medium-fine.

4. Viscosity and humidity of materials

The greater the viscosity of the materials, the stronger the adhesion between the materials. If not handled in time, a large amount of materials will adhere to the crushing wall, affecting the production capacity of the cone crusher. Similarly, the humidity of the materials is the same. The greater the humidity, the easier it is to cause blockage and reduce the production capacity of the cone crusher.
