What are the disadvantages of cone crushers? Unique Group’s solution

Cone crushers are widely used in the mining and construction industries because of their advantages in crushing hard materials, but before investing, you need to understand their limitations. As a professional mining equipment supplier, UNIQUE Group analyzes its core pain points for you and provides targeted solutions.

1. High initial investment cost

The complex structure and wear-resistant materials of cone crushers make their prices much higher than jaw crushers, and small businesses may face budget pressure.
✅ Unique Group’s solution: Provide flexible product configuration solutions, achieve high efficiency and energy saving according to customer budgets, and launch 4 products, including the low-threshold PYB spring cone crusher series, the cost-effective PSGB Simmons cone crusher, the high-efficiency DP single-rod cone crusher with large output, and the economical and efficient HP multi-rod cone crusher series for customers to choose from, lowering the entry threshold.

2. Complex maintenance and high cost

Precision components such as hydraulic systems and eccentric shafts require professional maintenance, and fault downtime may affect production progress.
✅ UNIQUEMAC GROUP Solution:
Intelligent remote monitoring system as standard, real-time warning of component wear
24-hour technical team nationwide, providing “zero delay” door-to-door service
Modular design, key component replacement efficiency increased by 40%

3. High energy consumption and high electricity bill

The power of cone crusher can reach more than 300kW when crushing hard rock, and long-term use will significantly increase operating costs.
✅ UNIQUEMAC GROUP Solution:
Compared with traditional models, patented energy-saving technology (UNI-EnergySave®) can save 15%-20% of electricity, in line with green mine standards.

4. Wet materials and sticky materials are easy to clog

Moisture content>8% or sticky materials are easy to clog the crushing chamber, requiring frequent shutdowns for cleaning.
✅ UNIQUEMAC Solution:
The self-developed anti-blocking chamber design (UNI-AntiBlock®), equipped with an automatic cleaning device, supports the crushing of special materials such as clay and gypsum.

5. The particle size of the discharged material is limited by the needle-shaped particle shape.

Needle-shaped content reaches 15-25% in conventional cone crushers.

✅ Unique Group® Tech:
Inter-Particle Crushing Mode (Flakiness <10%)
Multi-Axis Compression (3D cubical shaping)
Liner Profile Optimization (Steepness angle 55-60°)
