The Svedala Cone Crusher H36/H3000: A Robust Workhorse for Aggregate Production
The Svedala name carries significant weight in the mining and aggregate industries, synonymous with robust engineering and reliable performance. Among its enduring legacies is the Svedala Cone Crusher Model H36, also widely known in later iterations and documentation as the Sandvik H3000 or Metso/Nordberg H3000 following corporate acquisitions. This cone crusher stands as a classic example of mid-range secondary crushing capability, prized for its durability, relative simplicity, and effective performance in demanding applications.
Understanding the “36” Designation
The “36” in the model name traditionally refers to the nominal diameter of the crushing cone’s head at its widest point, measured in inches. In this case, it signifies a 3-foot (approximately 91.4 cm) cone head. This size places it firmly in the category of medium-sized cone crushers, suitable for secondary crushing duties after primary jaw crushers or large impactors.
Core Specifications & Capabilities
While specific configurations (like cavity type – fine, medium, coarse) can influence performance parameters, here are the typical core specifications and capabilities associated with the Svedala Cone Crusher H36 / H3000:
1. Feed Opening: Approximately 150 – 160 mm (6″) maximum feed size. This determines the largest rock fragments it can effectively accept from the preceding stage.
2. Capacity: Variable depending on:
Crushing cavity profile (Fine, Medium, Coarse)
Closed Side Setting (CSS) – The narrowest gap between mantle and concave at the bottom of the crushing chamber.
Feed material characteristics (hardness, gradation, moisture)
Feed method (choke-fed vs. regulated feed)
Typical production range: 60 – 220 metric tons per hour (tph) or roughly 65 – 240 US tons per hour (stph) under optimal conditions.
3. Power: Driven by an electric motor typically rated around 90 – 110 kW (120 – 150 HP). The exact power requirement depends on factors like material hardness and desired capacity.
4. Closed Side Setting (CSS) Range: Adjustable to control product size. The typical range is approximately 8 mm to 40 mm (0.3″ to 1.6″), varying slightly based on
