Cone crusher is a mechanical device used to crush feed material into small sizes through crushing process. It is widely used in mining and construction. Cone crushers offers various advantages such as higher capacity and high efficiency, easy to control and adjust accurately, stable operation and easy maintenance, less wear costs, wide range of application suitability, less downtime and maintenance costs. In addition, it offers high crushing ratio, better finished product shape, hydraulic protection and hydraulic clearing, high automatization, less production stop and repairing time, and thin oil lubrication increases the service time.
The machine reduces material by squeezing or compressing the feed material between a moving piece of steel and a stationary piece of steel. Final sizing is determined by the gap between two crushing members at lowest point. The compression within chamber is caused due to rotation of wedge or eccentric which helps to move the material down through the wear liner and the material is reduced. The crushed material is discharged from the bottom of the machine.
Increasing industrialization, coupled with a growing construction and mining industries have a positive impact on the global cone crusher market. Growing population, coupled with high spending capacity, increasing construction activities in emerging countries, are some of the other factors augmenting demand for cone crusher in construction industry. Increasing government initiatives and projects for construction has a positive impact on the global market.
However, stringent regulations pertaining to air pollution is a factor challenging the demand for cone crusher to a certain extent, as cone crusher produces lots of dust and solid waste while operation. In addition, increasing R&D investment in various industries and innovative technologies for cost-effective production are factors expected to create lucrative revenue opportunities for manufacturers operating in the target market.
