The crushers are designed for crushing hard brittle materials of compressive strength within 3000 kg/cm containing not more than 4%moisture. For higher moisture content the crusher may be operated with supply of water into the crushing chamber from a special facility reduction ratio is 1,5 - 2 times higher than in conventional cone crushers; the required product size is easily obtained as per the customers specifications (by using, for example, a remote control system); choke-feed operation (no need for feeding devices) due to specific kinematics and crushing chamber profile; no massive foundation required due to “soft” vibration damping; no danger of drive mechanismoverload and breakdown caused by occasional uncrushable objects occurring in the crushing chamber; remote control of discharge opening setting to compensate for the liners wear; a wider range of capacities and product sizes can be achieved in wet crushing mode by changing crushing force and water consumption.
