When to choose a cone over an impactor

Impact crushers win on shape for medium-hard stone; cone crushers win on wear cost and uptime when the rock is hard and abrasive. If your wear-part bill on an impactor keeps climbing, the material is telling you it wants a cone.

Closed-side setting and cavity type (standard, medium, short head) shift these ranges significantly.
