What Is The Difference Between Different Types Of Crushing Chambers In Cone Crushers

Cone crushers are equipped with different types of crushing chambers, each designed to meet specific operational requirements. The main differences between these crushing chambers can be understood from the following aspects:

1.Cone Crusher Cavity Shape

Standard Crushing Chamber: It generally has a relatively gentle slope and a larger space in the upper part. The cavity is designed to handle larger feed materials, and the shape allows the materials to enter the crushing chamber more smoothly.

Medium Crushing Chamber: The slope of the medium crushing chamber is steeper than that of the standard one. It has a moderate space in the middle part, which is suitable for materials that have been initially crushed and need further processing.

Short-Head Crushing Chamber: This type of chamber has a very steep slope and a relatively small space. The shape is more conducive to fine crushing, enabling the materials to be crushed more thoroughly and obtaining finer product particle sizes.

2.Cone Crusher Feed Size and Discharge Size

Standard Crushing Chamber: It is suitable for primary crushing and can accept larger feed sizes, usually in the range of 100-350 mm. The discharge size is relatively coarse, generally 35-65 mm, which provides a basis for subsequent crushing processes.

Medium Crushing Chamber: The feed size for the medium crushing chamber is usually smaller than that of the standard chamber, around 50-150 mm. The discharge size is also finer, typically 10-35 mm, which is suitable for secondary crushing or intermediate crushing processes.

Short-Head Crushing Chamber: The short-head crushing chamber is mainly used for fine crushing, so it requires a relatively small feed size, usually 25-50 mm. The discharge size can be as fine as 3-10 mm, which can directly produce products with a very fine particle size.

3.Crushing Ratio

Standard Crushing Chamber: The crushing ratio of the standard cone crushing chamber is relatively small, generally in the range of 4-6. This is because its main function is to initially break large pieces of materials into smaller ones, rather than achieving a high degree of fineness in one step.

Medium Crushing Chamber: The medium crushing chamber has a moderate crushing ratio, usually between 6 and 8. It can further crush the materials that have been initially processed to obtain a more uniform particle size distribution.

Short-Head Crushing Chamber: The short-head crushing chamber has a relatively high crushing ratio, which can reach 8-10 or even higher. It is designed to produce a large number of fine particles and is very effective in achieving high-precision crushing.

4.Cone Crusher Production Capacity

Standard Crushing Chamber: Due to its ability to handle large feed sizes and its relatively coarse discharge size, the standard crushing chamber usually has a relatively high production capacity. It can process a large amount of materials in a short time, which is suitable for large-scale mining and primary crushing operations.

Medium Crushing Chamber: The production capacity of the medium crushing chamber is between that of the standard and short-head chambers. It can balance the requirements of crushing fineness and production capacity and is suitable for operations that require a certain degree of crushing fineness and production scale.

Short-Head Crushing Chamber: The short-head crushing chamber has a relatively low production capacity compared to the other two types because it focuses on producing fine particles and requires more detailed crushing operations. However, in applications where fine crushing is required, its production capacity can still meet the needs of the process.
