Cone Crusher - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
In Chapter 4, we have already seen the mechanism of crushing in a jaw crusher. Considering it further we can see that when a single particle, marked 1 in Figure 11.5 a, is nipped between the jaws of a jaw crusher the particle breaks producing fragments, marked 2 and 3 in Figure 11.5 b. Particles marked 2 are larger than the open set on the crusher and are retained for crushing on the next cycle.
