Cone crusher and jaw crusher have different advantages and disadvantages.
Cone crusher
The advantages: high productivity, less energy consumption, stable operation, slight vibration, big crushing ratio, uniform particle size.
The disadvantages: complex structure, high cost, heavy machine body, inconvenient transportation, complex operation and maintenance and not suitable for crushing cohesive ore.
Jaw crusher
The advantages: simple structure, low cost, easy maintenance, stable operation, right machine height easy to install, suitable for cohesive ore crushing.
The disadvantages: low productivity, large energy consumption, large vibration, small crushing ratio, irregular particle size.
When choose a coarse crushing equipment, you should conduct comprehensive analysis and compare with the different situation. Generally, large milling plants choose cone crusher as coarse crushing equipment. Medium and small milling plants choose jaw crusher especially for cohesive ore coarse crushing.
