An Omnicone crusher is a type of cone crusher developed by Nordberg (now part of Metso Outotec). It is known for its advanced crushing technology, which includes a combination of eccentric throw, bowl angle, and head motion to optimize performance. Below are the key components of an Omnicone crusher:

Main Components of an Omnicone Crusher
1. Head & Mantle
– The crushing head rotates eccentrically to compress material against the concave.
– The mantle is the wear-resistant surface that crushes the rock.
2. Bowl & Concave Liners
– The bowl holds the concave liners (stationary crushing surfaces).
– Liners come in different profiles (coarse, medium, fine) for various applications.
3. Eccentric Assembly
– Drives the gyratory motion of the head.
– Includes eccentric bushing, thrust bearing, and gear.
4. Adjustment Ring & Tramp Release System
– Allows setting adjustment (CSS – Closed Side Setting).
– Hydraulic cylinders provide overload protection (tramp iron release).
5. Main Frame & Upper Frame
– Provides structural support for all components.
6. Countershaft Assembly
– Transmits power from the motor to the eccentric via gears.
7. Hydraulic System
– Controls clamping pressure, adjustment, and tramp release.
8. Lubrication System
– Ensures proper oil flow to bearings and gears for smooth operation.
9. Drive System (Motor & Belts/Pulleys)
– Electric motor drives the crusher via V-belts or direct coupling.
10. Feed Plate & Feed Hoppe
– Distributes material evenly into the crushing chamber.
Common Wear Parts (Replaceable Components)
– Mantle & Concave Liners
– Bowl Liner
– Eccentric Bushing
– Countershaft Bushings
– Hydraulic Cylinder Seals
Applications
Omnicone crushers are used in:
– Aggregates production
