In the heart of the cone crusher - the crushing chamber, the mantle and the concave are like a pair of core wear-resistant parts, which are like a precise partner, jointly shouldering the task of crushing hard materials into target particle size. As a professional wear-resistant parts manufacturer, we are well aware that a clear understanding of the difference between these two parts is crucial for customers to select, maintain and maximize equipment benefits. The following is a detailed explanation of the core differences between the two:
1. Position and role positioning:
Mantle (fixed cone liner): It is the "silent guardian" and "main pressure surface" of the crushing chamber. It is fixedly installed on the adjustment ring (or main frame) at the top of the equipment, forming the outer wall of the crushing chamber. Its solid concave working surface is the main position for the material to be subjected to strong extrusion and crushing.
Concave (moving cone liner): It is the "power executor" of the crushing chamber. It is tightly fixed on the high-speed rotating and swinging moving cone, forming the inner wall of the crushing chamber. Its core task is to continuously push and squeeze the material onto the stationary mantle with the complex eccentric oscillating motion of the moving cone, thereby achieving crushing.
2. Movement state: perfect combination of movement and stillness
Mantle: completely stationary. During the entire crushing process, it always maintains a fixed position (although the adjustment ring where it is located can be rotated as a whole to adjust the size of the discharge port), providing a stable support surface for crushing.
Concave: high-speed movement. It performs continuous eccentric oscillating motion with the moving cone, which is the key power source for the cone crusher to achieve the lamination crushing principle. This movement causes the gap between the concave and the mantle to change periodically, repeatedly squeezing and releasing the material.
3. Structural form and working surface:
Mantle: Its working surface (the inner surface facing the crushing chamber) presents a clear concave shape (usually designed with serrations or smooth lines). This concave surface precisely matches the convex surface of the concave, forming a tapered crushing chamber shape together.
Concave: Its working surface (the outer surface facing the crushing chamber) presents a convex cone. This convex structure enables it to effectively guide and compact the material on the mantle.
4. Installation direction: the mystery of up and down
Mantle: When installed, the large diameter (feed end) faces up and the small diameter (discharge end) faces down. It is usually installed vertically or nearly vertically, with the large mouth open upward to receive materials.
Concave: When installed, the small diameter (top end) faces up and the large diameter (bottom end) faces down. It is installed obliquely on the moving cone, with the small end on top and the large end covering the lower part of the moving cone, forming a downward expansion working surface.
5. Wear characteristics and maintenance focus:
Mantle: Wear is usually concentrated in the upper area (near the feed port). This is because the material is subjected to the strongest initial impact and extrusion here when it first enters the crushing chamber, and is subjected to huge pressure and abrasive wear. Its wear degree directly affects the size of the discharge port and the stability of the product particle size, and is a key indicator for monitoring and replacement.
Concave: Wear is usually concentrated in the lower area (near the discharge port). The material undergoes final extrusion and accelerated discharge in the lower part of the crushing chamber, where the friction and micro-cutting action are more intense. The wear of the lower part will affect the crushing efficiency and the final product shape.
6. Functional focus:
Mantle: The core function is to provide the main and stable crushing pressure-bearing surface. It bears the huge extrusion force transmitted from the material and the concave, and is the main carrier of the crushing force. Its material and design directly determine the wear life and overall crushing cost.
Concave: The core function is to provide crushing power and force the material to the mantle. Through its swinging motion, it not only transmits the extrusion force, but also continuously updates the contact point between the material and the liner, promoting the flow of materials and the lamination crushing effect. It is subject to impact, extrusion and wear at the same time.
Summary and key cognition:
Mantle = fixed cone liner = static, external, concave "main pressure-bearing wall". It is the cornerstone of crushing operation and is stable and reliable.
Concave = dynamic cone liner = moving, internal, convex "active extrusion arm". It is the source of crushing power and efficient execution.
Reasons to choose us:
As a professional manufacturer of mantle and concave, we deeply understand the decisive role of this pair of "core double walls" in equipment performance, operating costs and efficiency. We provide:
Accurate matching: Strictly follow the cavity design of cone crushers of various brands and models to ensure perfect fit and optimal performance.
Excellent material: High manganese steel, ultra-high manganese steel or composite wear-resistant materials with optimized alloy composition are used to provide the best solutions for different working conditions (such as abrasiveness and impact), significantly extending the service life.
Advanced technology: Precision casting and heat treatment technology to ensure the internal quality, surface hardness and overall toughness of the product, and resist impact fatigue.
Wear balance design: Combined with the characteristics of the upper part of the mantle being vulnerable to wear and the lower part of the concave being vulnerable to wear, the structural design is optimized or partially strengthened, striving for synchronous wear and reducing the overall replacement frequency.
Professional service: Provide selection guidance, installation suggestions and wear monitoring solutions to help you maximize the benefits of cone crushers.
