A cone crusher spread refers to a complete crushing setup that includes a cone crusher along with other necessary equipment to process and transport materials efficiently. This setup is commonly used in aggregate production, mining, and recycling operations.

Components of a Cone Crusher Spread:
1. Cone Crusher – The primary crushing machine that reduces large rocks into smaller gravel or sand.
– Types: Standard, short-head, tertiary.
– Brands: Metso (Nordberg), Sandvik, Terex, Symons, McCloskey.
2. Feeder – Supplies material to the crusher at a controlled rate.
– Options: Vibrating grizzly feeder (VGF), apron feeder.
3. Screen – Separates crushed material into different sizes.
– Options: Inclined screen, horizontal screen (for finer sizing).
4. Conveyors – Transports material between stages (e.g., from crusher to screen).
– Radial stackers for stockpiling.
5. Power Unit – Diesel or electric power source for mobile setups.
6. Control System – Automated controls for adjusting settings (e.g., CSS—closed side setting).
7. (Optional) Additional Crushers – Jaw .jpg)

Types of Cone Crusher Spreads:
1. Open Circuit Spread
– Material passes through the cone crusher once without recirculation.
– Used when precise sizing isn’t critical.
2. Closed Circuit Spread
– Includes a screen that recirculates oversized material back to the crusher.
– Ensures consistent product size (common in aggregate plants).
3. Portable/Mobile Spread
– Mounted on tracks or wheels for easy relocation.
– Ideal for temporary job sites or contractors.
4. Stationary Spread
– Fixed installation for long-term production (e.g., quarry operations).

Applications:
– Producing aggregates (road base, concrete sand).
– Mining operations (crushing ore).
– Recycling (processing concrete/asphalt debris).
