Q. What is the difference between cone and jaw crushers?

Answer

The jaw crusher has a very big feed size range and can normally manage materials that are less than 1, 200 millimetres in size, while the cone crusher has a relatively narrow feed size range requirement, often needing less than 450 millimetres although this may vary depending on the particular circumstances of the product. Primary crushing is often accomplished using a jaw crusher, which results in a high level of crushed material produced per hour. However, the output size of this kind of crusher is typically too large for use in secondary crushing applications. The cone crusher, on the other hand, is used in the secondary and tertiary stages of crushing, and as a result, its discharge size is lower. A cone crusher's price is much more than a jaw crusher's, depending on its construction and wearable components. When compared to a jaw crusher with the same size feeding hole, a cone crusher's overall construction is 1.7–2 times heavier and 2-3 times higher than that of a jaw crusher. The larger the equipment, the greater the site fees will be.
