Some customers often ask how to choose a cone crusher or an impact crusher. Here is a popular comparison:

Comparison of advantages and disadvantages:

Cone crusher series have standard, medium and has short crushing chamber, and they have spring or hydraulic support.

Impact crushers have simple structure, less working process, high crushing rate, good product particle shape and high output.

When hard rock needs to be crushed, impact crusher is not easy to break, the wear is high, and needs a lot of the maintenance, which is very uneconomical. The shape of the finished particles of impact crushing is good, and there are not many needle-like materials.

Cone crushers, on the other hand, produce harder rocks, which are more convenient and environmentally friendly to operate. In actual production, when there are strict requirements on particle size, an impact crusher is usually used, cone crusher is usually used for sand making, grinding and shaping.

Cost comparison:

Cost on cone crusher is slightly higher than impact crusher. However, cone crusher has lower energy consumption, stable production capacity and long service life of wearing parts, which effectively reduces the maintenance and replacement costs . The impact crusher has the characteristics of high crushing efficiency and convenient maintenance,  themaintenance cost is slightly higher than cone crusher.

Both impact crusher and cone crusher are secondary crushers. Through the input-output cost comparison, the main performance of the impact crusher is reflected in the processing capacity and the discharge particle size, and the initial investment is relatively low. Cone crusher performance is reflected in the ability to handle harder materials, which can be used for crushing and forming in sand production lines.
