A cone crusher is a kind of medium and fine crushing equipment commonly used in sand and gravel production line, it has a single cylinder and a multi-cylinder, many users are not clear what is the difference between these two types of cone crusher, which one is better to choose? Here is a detailed explanation.
The difference between single cylinder and multi-cylinder cone crusher
Here mainly from the equipment structure, working mode, crushing effect, use and maintenance of these aspects, as follows.
1 .Structural aspects
The structure of single-cylinder cone crusher is mainly divided into upper frame, lower frame, drive shaft, moving cone, hydraulic cylinder, eccentric sleeve, and its auxiliary part, which consists of electrical system and thin oil lubrication system.Multi-cylinder cone crusher has six major parts: support sleeve, lower frame, drive shaft, moving cone, adjusting ring, eccentric sleeve.
2. Working method
Single-cylinder cone crusher: When the material is added to the crushing cavity, the main shaft assembly slowly rotates itself in the eccentric copper sleeve under the resistance of the material, the running track of the inner cone seems to swing back and forth in the crushing cavity while slowly rotating, the material is crushed by the swinging inner cone, the support sleeve is pressed by the hydraulic cylinder at the connection with the frame body, when the crusher falls into the unbreakable objects such as metal pieces, the moving cone of the single cylinder is held up by the hydraulic piston at the bottom, which plays the role of discharge port adjustment and pass-iron protection, repeatedly rising and falling to exclude the blocked ore.
Multi-cylinder cone crusher: After the material enters the crushing cavity from the material mouth, it is crushed by the mutual impact, extrusion, grinding and rubbing of the eccentric shaft and the mortar wall，The hydraulic insurance system can be used to remove the support sleeve and the fixed cone by hydraulic pressure when the machine has pass-iron fault or bogging phenomenon, which plays a good insurance role and greatly reduces the maintenance rate and improves the efficiency of maintenance work.
3. Crushing effect
When crushing soft and weathered ores, the single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher stands out for its large throughput, while the multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is even more outstanding when crushing medium-hard and high-hard ores.
In the case of fine crushing of ores above medium-hard, multiple cylinders can produce more qualified products with the same specifications, and generally speaking, the harder the hardness, the greater the difference between the two.
4. The difference between use and maintenance
Single-cylinder cone crusher: only one hydraulic cylinder, simpler and more compact structure, lower failure rate, easy maintenance, and more obvious long-term use.
Multi-cylinder cone crusher: full hydraulic protection and adjustment device, which can save a lot of manpower and material resources.
Which is better, single cylinder or multi-cylinder cone crusher?
Through the above introduction can be seen, the two cone crusher equipment have their own highlights, in the absence of external conditions, no one is better than the other!
