What are the differences between cone crushers and fine jaw crushers in large stone crushers?

Cone crushers and jaw crushers are commonly used large-scale stone crushers. Below are some differences between them:

1. Production Characteristics

Generally speaking, fine jaw crushers and cone crushers have the following characteristics:

1) Fine jaw crushers have a relatively wider feed size range, generally handling materials smaller than 1000mm, while cone crushers have stricter requirements, generally requiring materials smaller than 300mm (depending on the specific product).

2) In terms of processing capacity, cone crushers far exceed fine jaw crushers, generally reaching 1000t/h, more than twice that of fine jaw crushers.

3) When handling hard materials, the compressive strength of both is basically the same, between 300-350Mpa.

2. Overall Structure

From an overall structural perspective, cone crushers are 1.7-2 times heavier than fine jaw crushers of the same feed opening size, and the machine body is generally 2-3 times taller than fine jaw crushers, resulting in higher plant construction costs.

3. Material Processing

Cone crushers are not suitable for crushing wet and sticky ores, while fine jaw crushers can handle almost all kinds of materials.
