Causes and solutions for cone crusher jam

In many industrial fields such as mining, building materials, and chemicals, cone crushers are a common type of equipment used to process various ores and materials. However, cone crushers sometimes get stuck during operation, which causes great trouble to production. New Gaonai Heavy Industry will explore the causes of cone crusher jams and the corresponding solutions.

First, let us understand the working principle of cone crushers. Cone crushers use two cones rotating in opposite directions to crush materials under the action of extrusion and grinding forces. However, when the particle size of the crushed material is smaller than the gap between the cones, the material will be stuck between the gaps, causing the crusher to fail to work properly.

There are probably several reasons for cone crusher jams, which I hope will be helpful to readers, and solutions are provided.

1. Adjust the gap: By adjusting the gap between the cones, the crushed material can pass smoothly, thereby avoiding jamming. This method requires professional operation, and regular inspection and adjustment are required to keep the equipment in good working condition.

2. Motor failure: Cone crushers use motors as power sources, and faulty motors may cause the machine to fail to operate normally or even get stuck. The solution is to replace the motor or repair the motor failure.

3. Cleaning and lubrication: Regularly clean the accumulated materials inside the cone crusher to ensure the good lubrication of the equipment, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of jamming.

4. Damage to accessories: Damage to the accessories of the cone crusher can also cause the machine to jam. For example: damage to the rolling bearing, damage to the shaft, etc. The solution is to replace the damaged accessories.

5. Transmission failure: Failure of the transmission device of the cone crusher will cause the transmission to be unsmooth and the machine to jam. The solution is to check the transmission failure and repair and replace it in time.

6. Spindle breakage and jamming: When the cone crusher is in an overloaded state for a long time, there is an overload protection device, but it cannot completely avoid damage to the equipment. The spindle is easy to break and the equipment is blocked.

7. Blockage and jamming: When iron blocks or other unbreakable objects enter the crushing chamber of the cone crusher, the cone crusher is blocked by materials, and the equipment is blocked and forced to stop.

8. Improper operation: During operation, incorrect direction or force may cause the machine to jam. The solution is to carry out standardized operation procedures and pay attention to intensity.

In general, solving the cone crusher jam problem requires comprehensive consideration of multiple aspects, including equipment performance, material characteristics, and operating methods. Only by fully understanding and mastering these factors can we find the most suitable solution to ensure that the cone crusher plays the greatest role in production.
