Their primary differences lie in functional positioning and motion:
The concave (stationary cone liner) remains fixed.
The mantle (moving cone liner) rotates with the eccentric shaft.
Together, they cooperate to achieve material crushing through compression.
Functional and Structural Differences
Concave
Aliases: Stationary cone liner, fixed cone, crusher liner.
Mounting: Fixed to the adjustment ring via zinc alloy casting and secured with U-bolts.
Material: High-manganese steel, composite materials, etc.
Requirement: Regular inspection of tightness is necessary to prevent loosening.
Mantle
Aliases: Moving cone liner.
Mounting: Installed on the crushing cone (head), performing gyratory motion with the eccentric shaft. It forms a dynamic crushing cavity with the concave.
Material: Similar to the concave.
Wear Characteristic: Subject to greater impact loads and wears faster.
Motion and Wear Characteristics Comparison
Dimension Concave Mantle
Motion State Stationary Gyratory Motion
Wear Rate Slower (Typical lifespan: 5-6 months) Faster (Lifespan slightly shorter than concave)
Force Characteristic Primarily withstands compression and some abrasion Primarily withstands impact and compression
Collaborative Operation and Maintenance Points
Crushing Principle: Material is repeatedly compressed and ground within the gap between the concave and mantle, eventually discharging through the outlet.
Key Maintenance:
Monitor thickness wear (Replacement required when wear exceeds two-thirds of original thickness).
Check for cracking.
Avoid uneven feeding causing unilateral wear.
Influencing Factors: Material hardness, moisture content, fines content, and feeding method can all accelerate wear. Pre-processing optimization and operational procedures are required.
