Cone crushers are a type of heavy-duty machinery suitable for crushing a variety types of raw materials, including ores and medium-hard rocks. Compared with a jaw or rock crusher, the cone crusher is easier to adjust and has less owning and operating costs. This essay provides an overview of the working principles of cone crushers, detailing how they operate by using vertical compression and gravitational forces. At its core, the working principle of a cone crusher is straightforward: it uses pressure and resistance to break down or crush various kinds of raw material into smaller, more manageable components. The machine operates on the concept that materials can be crushed by applying enough force to bring them together in order to cause fracturing or deformity. The key element used in this process is compression. Vertical compression is applied via the mantle (or cone), which is located inside the main chamber. As material enters from the top, it becomes caught between this mantle and the stationary concave liners. When these two surfaces interact under pressure, they compress and break down the entered material into smaller pieces. In addition to vertical compression, cone crushers also utilize gravitational forces for their operations. These machines have a conical shape with a large opening at one end called the feed port where raw materials are introduced. From here, gravity takes over as it pushes these materials through progressively narrower spaces towards its bottom part known as discharge chute or point. The combined use of vertical compression and gravity enables cone crushers to manipulate hard, abrasive materials efficiently. It's worth noting that not all types of raw materials suit every type of crusher design; variations exist depending on different factors such as hardness/abrasiveness levels or size distribution requirements among others. Beyond their basic operation principles, there are also other elements that come into play within a cone crusher's functionality such as eccentric speed settings or cavity designs which can impact performance capabilities like capacity or product quality. In conclusion, understanding how cone crushers work – including an awareness of the use of vertical compression and gravitational forces – is vital in the efficient operation of this type of machinery. These machines are designed with a cone-shaped inlet from where different materials are accepted for crushing; after that, they employ gravity and compression to reduce material size. Ultimately, understanding the working principles of a cone crusher will not only improve productivity but also give a full appreciation of these machines which are some of the most versatile in construction and mineral processing industries.
From its inception in 1973, the base of operations for GrinderCrusherScreen and Screen USA has been Smyrna, GA. Here, we house an extensive inventory of new equipment and our parts department, with knowledgeable staff and replacement parts for all types of recycling equipment.
A brick-and-mortar location allows GrinderCrusherScreen to stock parts stateside, thus saving time and money for our customers by eliminating the overseas ordering lead times, as many of our competitors without brick-and-mortar locations do. Achieving Customer Success
Being relationship-driven, and the success of our business is closely tied to the success of our clients.

We look to build long-lasting business relationships and it is no surprise that many of our customers have purchased and sold many pieces of equipment with GrinderCrusherScreen.
With more than five decades of experience and relationships with our manufacturers, GrinderCrusherScreen stands as a leader in recycling equipment. Our team collaborates closely with manufacturers to help design and develop new equipment while also suggesting modifications for existing equipment. With a European base for most equipment manufacturers, our relationships and industry knowledge are paramount as the use cases and types of materials that our customers crush, shred, and screen are significantly different than the European market. Rest assured knowing that our team has the experience and industry knowledge to help you find the best machinery for your company’s needs.
Company President Rick Cohen, with more than 40 years of experience in the recycling industry, is often sought for consultation due to his extensive knowledge and experience of recycling equipment. In addition to Cohen, the GrinderCrusherScreen sales staff has nearly five decades of combined experience, meaning most applications or use cases are familiar to them. We take great pride in having industry experts as our sales staff and not salesmen new to the industry.
Downtime is inevitable in the recycling industry, and every moment counts. GrinderCrusherScreen employs two in-house engineers who know the ins and outs of the equipment we sell. Our team can, usually diagnose issues quickly, not days or weeks, unlike the competition. The GrinderCrusherScreen team is there to support you throughout, thus minimizing downtime and costs.
The GrinderCrusherScreen team can be found exhibiting at many of the major tradeshows and industry events. We are proud to be a respected pillar of the industry.
GrinderCrusherScreen and our financing partner have worked hand in hand to develop a leading financing program designed to meet our customers’ specific needs. Because of our longstanding reputation, we are able to finance equipment on favorable terms, while providing competitive rates. This allows our customers to enjoy lower payments and protected cash flow.
