If the material is wet, the fines build up and close off the hopper on top of the cone. Or after awhile you can get a collection of volleyball sized rocks that will sit on the top of the mantle on forever roll around restricting flow. You have to shut the cone off sometimes and throw those rocks out. Even just a few oversize rocks in there will limit production. Either run a jaw crusher that dumps into the cone's feeder. or a screener to eliminate that problem. Could be anything tho.

@judgegixxer Yeah your right a Jaw before the Cone would have increased production and reduced wear

A pity you couldn't get onto that Finlay and let us see what is really going on with it. It is producing a painfully small quantity which when sold I doubt would even pay the digger hire.

[ArEs7210]

Yeah that would have been cool :)

I think that the reason, that it was not producing that much, was that it was brand new, and the company had never had, a cone crusher before, so they where still learning, how to set it up properly.

[gonecrazy26]

do you work for finlay ?

[ArEs7210]

No i dont

That was a company, that we hired to crush our rocks, but the crusher was brand new, that was its first job, and i think, the first of its kind in Denmark

the cone crusher on the plant I operate can crush upto and exceeding 1200 tons a day of hard greywacke river run.... gotta have screening, and a jaw crusher before the cone... they can run in the wet no worries, or at least ours does, all day in the rain no prob, and nothing is covered...

cones DO NOT like wet material, the fines build up and stick inside and shag seals etc. looks like the screener should be before the crusher from this video
