For example, in mining, the equipment can be quickly moved to a new working surface to reduce downtime caused by equipment movement. At the same time, the crawler cone crusher is equipped with a remote control operation function, which can remotely control the travel and operation of the equipment within a certain distance, improving the convenience and safety of operation.

4. Efficient crushing and screening

The crawler mobile cone crusher main machine adopts an advanced cone crusher with a large crushing ratio and high efficiency, which can crush materials into the required particle size range. For example, when crushing medium and high hardness rocks such as granite and basalt, it can ensure uniform particle shape of the finished product.

Equipped with a vibrating screen, it can realize the screening of crushed materials. The qualified materials after screening are directly output, and the unqualified materials are returned to the crusher for further crushing, which improves production efficiency.

5. Intelligent control system

The PLC control system and touch screen operation interface are used to realize the automatic control of the equipment. For example, through the intelligent control system, the operating status of the equipment can be monitored in real time, the working parameters of the crusher can be automatically adjusted, and the operating efficiency of the equipment can be improved.

Equipped with an electronic monitoring system, it can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time, detect and handle faults in time, and reduce downtime.

6. Environmental performance

Crawler cone crusher equipment pays attention to environmental protection in its design, and the amount of noise and dust generated are controlled within the prescribed range of national and regional standards. For example, some equipment is equipped with a spray dust removal system to effectively reduce dust pollution and meet modern environmental protection requirements.

7. Strong adaptability

The crawler mobile cone crusher can be configured as a three-stage crushing and screening system combining coarse crushing unit, medium crushing unit and fine crushing unit according to different engineering needs, or it can be operated independently as a single unit. For example, in the treatment of construction waste, the configuration of the equipment can be flexibly adjusted according to the composition and particle size requirements of the waste.

Crawler cone crusher is suitable for a variety of complex operation sites, such as open-pit mining crushing and screening operations, urban construction waste treatment, mineral processing plants, etc.

8. Easy maintenance

The equipment has a compact structure and centralized maintenance points, which is convenient for on-site maintenance and reduces operating costs. For example, the hydraulic cone crusher adopts a hydraulic insurance system, which can automatically eliminate the fault when the machine has an iron failure or a jam, reducing the maintenance rate.

How does a crawler cone crusher work?

The working principle of crawler cone crusher is mainly based on the combination of the crushing mechanism of cone crusher and crawler mobile platform.

The working principle of crawler cone crusher is divided into 5 processes.

1. Feeding process

The raw materials are fed into the silo by equipment such as forklifts and excavators. The materials in the silo enter the screening feeder, and the part with the particle size that meets the requirements directly leaks out and is output through the conveyor belt; the materials that do not meet the requirements enter the crushing host.

2. Crushing process:

The motor makes the moving cone swing around the center line of the machine under the force of the eccentric sleeve through the pulley or coupling, transmission shaft and cone part. A crushing chamber is formed between the moving cone and the fixed cone, and the material is crushed by multiple extrusions, grinding and impacts of the moving cone and the fixed cone in the crushing chamber. When the moving cone approaches the fixed cone, the material is squeezed and ground; when the moving cone leaves the fixed cone, the crushed material falls under the action of its own gravity.

3. Screening and conveying process

The crushed materials are sent to the vibrating screen for screening through the conveyor belt. The vibrating screen separates the materials according to the particle size. The coarse materials that do not meet the requirements are returned to the crushing host for re-crushing, and the finished materials that meet the particle size requirements are transported to the designated location.

4. Hydraulic insurance system

When the machine has an iron failure or a jamming phenomenon, the hydraulic insurance system will use hydraulic pressure to remove the faulty objects from the support sleeve and the fixed cone, which plays a role of insurance and reduces the maintenance rate.

5. Movement and control

The equipment is installed on a crawler chassis and can be moved autonomously through a remote control device to adapt to complex terrain.
The use of an automated control system can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time and adjust the feeding speed, crusher settings, and conveyor belt speed as needed.

Through this working principle, the crawler cone crusher achieves efficient crushing, screening and transportation of materials, while having high mobility and flexibility, and is suitable for a variety of complex work sites.

In the field of water conservancy projects, crawler mobile cone crushers can be used for river dredging and management, breaking large stones and obstacles.

Why choose crawler cone crusher?

The existing mobile crushing station solves the technical bottleneck of rapid disassembly, movement and transportation, but the control system of the crushing motor mainly adopts the form of external three-phase power supply to drive the motor, which cannot control the working load of the crusher. When the crusher load is low, the working efficiency of the crushing motor will also be affected. When the crusher load is too high, the motor will be overloaded and damaged.

Usually, the material crushed once cannot meet the requirements of the finished material, and the material needs to be returned for secondary crushing. However, the automation degree and efficiency of the return system of the existing crushing station are relatively low, and there is no automated return screening integrated system. The return labor intensity is high, the floor space is large, and the efficiency is low.

The traditional cone mobile crushing station with a return system can control the crawler movement through the control system and has an automatic return function, but the crushing station does not have an iron removal function. During use, metal materials will cause mechanical damage to the cone crusher. Long-term use is not conducive to the service life of the cone crusher. In addition, the cone crushing station does not have an observation and maintenance platform, which is not convenient during the maintenance of the crushing station.

The new crawler mobile cone crusher developed by SMAT can effectively improve the service life, is easy to install and maintain, has low pollution, greatly improves the working environment, and can control the workload of the crusher through the control system.
