A cone crusher is a type of mechanical machinery used to crush and reduce the size of various types of rocks and minerals through a process of compression and cutting. It is typically used in the mining and aggregate industries for secondary and tertiary crushing stages.

Here are some key features and aspects of cone crushers: Working Principle: Cone crushers operate by squeezing the material between an eccentrically rotating mantle and a concave (also called bowl liner). As the mantle moves eccentrically, it creates a compression force on the material, breaking it down by applying pressure.
