Choosing Between Single and Multi-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crushers

In sand and gravel aggregate production, cone crushers are widely used, particularly single-cylinder and multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers. Although both belong to the same hydraulic cone crusher family, they differ in structural design, performance, and application range. Today, we will provide a detailed comparison of their strengths and weaknesses, and provide a few more easy-to-understand differences.

I. Single-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher

Simple Structure, Elegant Appearance

Single-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers have a relatively simple body structure, fewer parts, and a more compact and elegant overall design.

Low Manufacturing Cost, More Affordable Price

Due to their simplified structure, manufacturing costs are relatively low, resulting in a higher price than multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers. More advantages.

The equipment is easier to install and maintain. Furthermore, technological improvements have enhanced the performance of the sliding bearings, allowing for higher rotational speeds. This increases the spindle’s swing speed, resulting in higher production output and a more satisfactory finished product shape.

Single-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers have only one cylinder, resulting in limited crushing power. For high-hardness rocks, the crushing effect may not be as good as with multi-cylinder models. A multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher is recommended.

II. Multi-cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher

Upgraded performance, stronger crushing power

Multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers are an improved and optimized version of traditional spring cone crushers. Utilizing multi-cylinder hydraulic technology, they achieve a higher crushing ratio, maintaining high production while reducing energy consumption. They are suitable for a variety of rocks, particularly those with a hardness of ≤ 300 MPa. Materials.

Special Cavity Design Increases Productivity

The unique crushing chamber design significantly increases production capacity. The semi-automatic hydraulic adjustment of the discharge opening makes the discharge particle size easier to control, allowing the finished product size to meet different needs, making it more economical and practical.

Stable Structure and Longer Life

Quality manufacturers use a high-strength, one-piece cast casing and install iron protection devices during manufacturing to ensure the safety and stability of the equipment. Even with high-hardness stones, the performance remains stable and the service life is extended.

Multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers generally use a labyrinth seal structure to prevent dust. However, if the manufacturer lacks experience or the manufacturing process is not up to standard, dust may enter, making it difficult to adjust the discharge opening. Therefore, it is important to choose a manufacturer with a good brand reputation.

Single-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher: Simple structure, affordable price, and easy maintenance. It is suitable for low- to medium-hardness materials and users with low output requirements.

Multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crusher: Stronger crushing force, higher production capacity, and a wider range of applications. It is particularly suitable for medium- to high-hardness stones, but the price is relatively higher.

👉 When choosing, companies should consider production needs, material hardness, budget cost and brand reputation to rationally select the appropriate model to achieve the best return on investment.
