cone crusher product curves

Cone Crusher Product Curves and Aggregate Production Line

Cone crushers are critical equipment in modern aggregate production lines, offering precise particle size control through adjustable crushing chambers and eccentric throws. The product curve—a graphical representation of particle size distribution—directly impacts downstream processes like screening and shaping.

Key Equipment in Sand & Aggregate Line

A complete production line typically includes:
1. Primary jaw crusher (e.g., 600×900mm inlet)
2. Secondary cone crusher (e.g., HP300 with 220kW motor)
3. Tertiary VSI crusher for shaping
4. Multi-deck vibrating screens
5. Sand washing system

Model Max Feed(mm) CSS Range(mm) Capacity(t/h)
HP200 210 6-38 90-300
GP300 175 8-40 100-350
S240 235 10-50 120-400

Cone Crusher Performance Factors

The shape of product curves depends on:
– Closed Side Setting (CSS)
– Eccentric speed (typically 600-800 rpm)
– Liner profile (standard/fine/coarse)
– Feed material characteristics

FAQ Section

Q: How to adjust product gradation?
A: Modify CSS first, then consider changing crushing chamber liners.

Q: Why does output contain oversize particles?
A: Check for worn mantles/concaves or improper CSS setting.

Q: Optimal feed size for cone crushers?
A: Should not exceed 80% of crusher’s feed opening dimension.
