The Symons 4ft cone crusher is a common model of cone crusher. "4ft" usually indicates that the feed opening size or a certain key component size of this crusher is 4 feet (approximately 1.2192 meters).
This cone crusher generally consists of a frame, a transmission system, a discharge adjustment device, a lubrication system, a moving cone support system, a moving cone and a fixed cone, etc. Its working principle is as follows: The electric motor drives the bevel gear on the transmission shaft to rotate through the flexible coupling, causing the eccentric sleeve to rotate inside the central cylinder of the frame. The eccentric sleeve has a conical hole with a certain angle deviated from the rotation center line. Inside the hole is a conical bushing. The moving cone is supported by a bronze bowl-shaped spherical bearing, thus performing a swinging motion. The material falls from the feed box onto the distribution plate at the upper end of the moving cone and is evenly fed into the crushing cavity around the moving cone, where it is crushed by multiple impacts and compressions of the moving cone. The crushed material is discharged from the crusher in an open state through the discharge opening.

Symons cone crushers can be divided into standard type (used for medium crushing), medium type (used for medium crushing or fine crushing), short head type (used for fine crushing), etc. according to their crushing cavity shapes. It has the following characteristics:
- Large crushing ratio, capable of crushing materials with larger particle sizes into smaller particle sizes.
- Relatively high production efficiency.
- Uniform product particle size.
Its processing process usually includes the following steps:
1. Feeding: The materials to be crushed are uniformly fed into the crushing cavity of the cone crusher through the feeding equipment.
2. Crushing: The materials are crushed by the impact, compression and bending actions of the moving cone in the crushing cavity.
3. Discharging: The crushed materials are discharged from the crusher in an open state under an appropriate discharge opening size.
In practical applications, in order to ensure the performance and service life of the crusher, the following points need to be noted:
1. Select the appropriate crusher model, considering factors such as the nature of the material, particle size requirements and production capacity comprehensively.
2. Conduct regular equipment inspections and maintenance, including checking the wear condition of crushing components and the working status of the lubrication system.
3. Control the feeding speed and feeding amount to avoid overloading or clogging of the crusher due to excessive or uneven feeding.
4. Pay attention to the moisture content of the material. Excessive moisture content may affect the crushing effect and equipment operation.
5. Adjust the discharge opening size reasonably according to the required product particle size after crushing.
6. Follow safety operation procedures to ensure the safety of operators.
Symons 4ft cone crushers produced by different manufacturers may have certain differences in specific structure and performance. Therefore, before use, it is recommended to refer to the operation manuals and technical specifications of relevant equipment to obtain more accurate information and operation guidance.
