Is it better to choose a counterattack crusher or a cone crusher for crushing stones?
Generally speaking, in stone production, crushing stones requires a combination of two processes, coarse crushing and fine crushing. For coarse crushing, most users choose jaw crushers, while for fine crushing, some users choose impact crushers, and some users choose cone crushers. So, is it better to choose impact crushers or cone crushers? Below is a detailed introduction for everyone.
Firstly, let's take a look at the differences between these two crushers and then consider which one is better based on their overall performance.
1. In terms of materials, the impact crusher is more suitable for crushing some soft and brittle materials, such as limestone, weathered rock, etc. Cone crushers are suitable for materials with high hardness, such as river pebbles, granite, quartz, etc.

2. Crushing principle: The impact crusher adopts the impact crushing principle. After the material enters, it repeatedly collides and crushes between the plate hammer and the impact plate until it is formed and discharged; The cone crusher adopts the principle of laminated crushing, where the rolling mill wall continuously moves towards the crushing wall. According to the laminating theory, the material sandwiched between the two is squeezed and crushed, and the material is subjected to multiple directional forces, forming stone particles.
3. Finished product particle size: In addition to crushing function, the impact crusher also has shaping effect. The material particles processed by the impact crusher have uniform size and low needle like content; The crushing effect of the cone crusher is also good, but the particle size is slightly different from that of the impact crusher. However, its production is relatively stable, the output is large, and the energy consumption is low, so it is widely used in the market.
4. Investment cost: For users, price is also a key factor to consider when purchasing equipment. Impact crushers are slightly cheaper and have better finished particle sizes, while cone crushers are slightly more expensive. However, they have a larger output, longer durability of vulnerable parts, and lower maintenance costs in the later stage. If you have sufficient investment funds, you can choose cone crushers.

Taking into account the above factors, both impact crushers and cone crushers have their own unique characteristics. When selecting equipment, you still need to choose based on your materials, production capacity, investment funds, and other aspects. If you have high requirements for the particle size of the finished product, it is recommended to choose a counterattack crusher. If you need a large output, it is recommended to choose a cone crusher because the cone crusher has a large output, low energy consumption, and low maintenance costs in the later stage, which can save you production costs.
