Properties of Materials Affect the Capacity of Cone Crusher

At present, cone crusher is widely used for crushing and reshaping of materials in various mines. Production capacity is an important index to measure the quality of crushing equipment. But the production capacity of cone crusher is determined by many factors. The reduced productivity of a cone crusher may be affected by the following properties of the materials.

Generally speaking, there are 5 factors affecting the production capacity of cone crusher, they are as follows:

1. Hardness of the Material

The harder the material is, the more difficult the crushing is. So the production efficiency is lower accordingly. At the same time, it causes serious wear of the equipment. The slower the crushing is, the lower the production capacity is.

2. Content of the Fine Powder in the Material

These fine powders easily adhere to, so it effects of conveying. So it's better to screen the materials with more fine powder in advance before crushing process. Sift the fine powder as far as possible from the material, so as not to affect the normal work of cone crusher.

3. Requirements for Fineness of Production Process

The finer the discharging size is, the lower the capacity is. The fineness is determined by customers. If there are no special requirements, the general size of the material can be set to medium fineness.

4. Viscosity of the Material

The greater the viscosity is, the easier the material adheres to. The material with large viscosity will be adhered to the inner wall of the crushing cavity of the cone crusher. If it can not be cleaned in time, it will severely affect the efficiency of cone crusher. Therefore, when selecting materials, we need to pay attention to the viscosity of the material.

5. Humidity of the Material

Humidity refers to the water content contained in the materials. When the materials contain large water content, they are easily adhere to crushing cavity of cone crusher and jam in the conveying process, thus reducing the production capacity. In order to solve this problem, we should strictly control the water content of the materials. If the materials to be crushed contain large humidity, we can reduce the percentage of moisture in the material by sunlight or air drying
