Impact crusher and cone crusher are common equipment in the crushing market, but there are obvious differences between impact crusher and cone crusher in terms of structure, working principle, use, etc. With a detailed understanding of the two types of crushing equipment, you can have a clearer understanding of the selection, so as to select a more appropriate crushing equipment. This article will give you an in-depth analysis of the difference between the impact crusher and the cone crusher.
1. Different crushing principle and appearance structure
The impact crusher principle is adopted for the impact crusher, and the materials are broken by repeated impact between the plate hammer and the impact plate.
The cone is broken by lamination, and the rolling mortar wall continuously moves towards the crushing wall, extruding the materials sandwiched between them to crush them.
2. Different scope of application
Both the impact breaker and the cone crusher can serve as secondary crushing equipment, but the hardness of materials broken by them is different. Generally speaking, cone crusher is mainly used to break some materials with high hardness, such as granite, basalt, tuff, river pebble, etc., while impact crusher is used to break materials with low hardness, such as limestone, limestone, etc.
In a word, it is suitable for crushing materials with small toughness and brittleness of hardness and below, and cone crushing is suitable for crushing hard materials.

3. Different discharging granularity
The discharge granularity of materials crushed by the two kinds of crusher equipment is also different. Generally speaking, the material broken by cone is thinner than that broken by counter impact. In actual production, cone crushing is more used in mineral processing, while counter crushing is more used in building materials and construction projects.
4. Different grain types of finished products
The particle shape of the impact crusher is good, the finished product has less edges and corners, and there is more powder;
The finished products of cone crusher have many needle flakes and poor grain shape.
5. Different handling capacity
Compared with impact crusher, cone crusher is characterized by low energy consumption, large output and stable production. Therefore, cone crusher is often used in large-scale production lines with high output.
6. Different input costs
The price of cone crusher is more expensive than that of impact crusher, but its wearing parts have a longer life, avoiding the trouble of frequently replacing parts. In the long run, cone crusher is more cost-effective than impact crusher.
That is to say, the early purchase cost of the counterattack is low, and the later maintenance cost is high; The early cost of cone crusher is high, and the later input cost is low.
7. Different pollution levels
The noise pollution and dust pollution of the impact crusher are large; Cone crusher has less pollution.
In general, when configuring the actual production line, we should decide whether to choose cone crusher or impact crusher according to our actual needs, including materials, incoming and outgoing particle sizes, output and other parameters. We suggests that it is suitable for small stone production lines; If it is a large stone production line and the materials are hard, it will be better to choose cone crusher. If the requirements for particle size are very strict, a shaping machine can be added. In addition, if you have any questions about crushing and sand making, you can understand them in detail.
