1. Feeding problem
1. Too much feeding: When the cone crusher feeds too much, the burden on the equipment will be too large, causing the material to accumulate in the crushing chamber, resulting in blocking, which slows down the feeding speed. Therefore, when running the equipment, it is necessary to feed at a uniform speed to avoid excessive feeding.
2. Material properties: If the material itself has a large water content, it is easy to adhere to the material after entering the crushing chamber, which will greatly reduce the crushing ability of the equipment to the material, resulting in slow feeding speed.
2. Equipment design and adjustment problems
1. Improper discharge port size: If the discharge port size is not set properly, it is easy to cause the crushed material to fail to be discharged in time, resulting in material accumulation in the crushing chamber, affecting the normal crushing process, and then slowing down the feeding speed. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the discharge port size according to actual production needs.
2. Equipment aging and wear: Normal aging of equipment, untimely lubrication, and wear of key components (such as spherical tile seats, bearing surfaces, bushings, etc.) may lead to a decline in equipment performance, thereby affecting the feeding speed. For these problems, regular inspection and maintenance are required, worn parts should be replaced in time, and good lubrication should be maintained.
III. Lubrication and sealing issues
1. Insufficient lubrication: The lubrication system is essential for the normal operation of the cone crusher. If the amount of lubricating oil is insufficient or the oil quality is poor, the equipment will not run smoothly, affecting the crushing effect and feeding speed. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the working condition of the lubrication system to ensure that the amount of lubricating oil is sufficient and the oil quality is good.
2. Poor sealing: If the sealing device of the equipment fails or the sealing is not tight, impurities such as dust will enter the lubrication system, affecting the performance and service life of the lubricating oil, and thus adversely affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly check the integrity of the sealing device to ensure that its sealing effect is good.
IV. Other factors
1. Improper operation: Improper operation by the operator may also cause the cone crusher to feed slowly. For example, uneven feeding and improper adjustment may affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, operators need to receive professional training and hold a certificate to work, and be familiar with the performance, structure and working principle of the equipment as well as the correct operation methods and maintenance techniques.
2. Environmental factors: The working environment also has a certain impact on the operation of the cone crusher. For example, poor ventilation and excessive dust concentration may lead to decreased equipment performance and increased failure rate. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the equipment is installed in a well-ventilated environment without corrosive gases and dust.
