The main differences between single-cylinder and multi-cylinder cone crushers are as follows:

1. Differences in structure

Single-cylinder cone crusher: upper frame, lower frame, drive shaft, moving cone, hydraulic cylinder, eccentric sleeve.

Multi-cylinder cone crusher: support sleeve, lower frame, drive shaft, moving cone, adjustment ring, eccentric sleeve.

2. Comparison of components providing crushing force

Single-cylinder cone crusher: It is similar to the spring cone crusher. Its design feature is that the main shaft and the moving cone are closely connected and supported by bowl-shaped tiles. This structure makes the main shaft and the moving cone seem to be supported by the base, while the eccentric sleeve drives the main shaft to provide the required crushing force for the equipment.

Multi-cylinder cone crusher: The main shaft of this equipment is designed to be short and thick with a large diameter. It is directly installed on the frame for stable support instead of being placed in the eccentric sleeve. This design enhances the bearing capacity of the main shaft. At the same time, the eccentric sleeve directly drives the moving cone to generate a strong crushing force to ensure the efficient operation of the crushing operation.

There are differences in the mechanical structure between single-cylinder cone crusher and multi-cylinder cone crusher, resulting in different forces on the frame when crushing ore. The frame of the single-cylinder cone crusher mainly bears tensile stress, while the frame of the multi-cylinder cone crusher bears weakened tensile stress. Therefore, in terms of frame structure, the multi-cylinder cone crusher has more obvious advantages.

3. Comparison in crushing effect

Single-cylinder cone crusher: better medium crushing effect, large throughput, better product particle shape, and rich applicable materials.

Multi-cylinder cone crusher: better fine crushing effect, good lamination crushing effect.

4. Comparison in production volume

Single-cylinder cone crusher: When crushing soft ores and weathered ores, the single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher has a large throughput, which is 35%-60% higher than the traditional cone crusher, and its performance is more outstanding.

Multi-cylinder cone crusher: When crushing medium-hard and high-hard ores, the multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher can produce more qualified products, and its performance is more outstanding.
