Cost-effective crushing solutions for mining applications

  • High crushing force across a wide range of applications

    FLS Raptor cone crushers deliver superior crushing force, resulting in higher production and finer output sizes. Their robust design allows them to handle a wide range of materials, making them suitable for diverse applications like mining, aggregates, and sand production.

  • Advanced automation for enhanced operational efficiency

    We’ve added advanced automation systems to our Raptor crushers to detect and correct crushing force overload before it causes a problem. The same advanced automation system can be used to optimise crusher performance with feed control, setting adjustment, lubrication monitoring and hydraulic parameter monitoring, enabling you to increase crushing efficiency and reduce costs.

  • Long life components with simple maintenance

    Built with heavy-duty components, our Raptor cone crushers offer excellent performance with increased durability, smoother operation and reduced maintenance expenses. We’ve also made maintenance much easier, with features such as mainframe inspection ports, cartridge countershaft boxes and our new socket-less design, which provide better access to the inside of your crusher.

Our Raptor® cone crushers

Raptor® 500 cone crusher

  • Can accept up to 25% larger ores due to its 1.5 m (59.06 in) head diameter and ideal eccentric motion.
  • Produces more material of the desired cubicity and graduation than other crushers of the same size.
  • Flexible for multi-site crushing, with a maximum diameter of 3.75 m (148 in) and weight of 50,274 kg (110,833 lbs).
  • Rigid three-arm frame with integral countershaft box that reduces maintenance, improves reliability of the gear and pinion and simplifies backlash adjustments.

Maintenance & service of Raptor® cone crushers

Our best-practice design gives you better access to the inside of the crusher. We provide features such as mainframe inspection ports, cartridge countershaft boxes and specially-designed tools to enable simpler, safer maintenance. 

Structural integrity 

The critical load bearing components of the Raptor cone crushers meet specifications that typically exceed what is commonly offered in a conventional cone crusher. The major components are cast of high grade steel. The eccentric material selection provides greater certainty of a reliable surface finish over a long period of service. 

Security and safety 

We use fail-safe hydraulics to protect the crusher from a mechanical overload in the event that an accumulator bladder fails. An internal relief valve within the tramp release cylinders provides immediate, alternate protection from severe and costly structural damage to the crusher. The crushing action rotates counterclockwise to prevent the machine from self-tightening the setting if the adjustment ring movement is excessive, the ring gear brake fails or the thread clamping fails.

Superior bronze bearing technology 

Raptor cone crushers have highly tensile bronze sleeve bearings for all internal moving components that are load bearing or involved in load transmission. Our bronze technology uses a unique process to achieve uniform lead distribution, optimum concentricity and a structure free of pores. We custom-engineer our bushings to meet your specific application demands.

Frequently asked questions

FAQs for Raptor® cone crushers

A cone crusher is a machine used in mining and aggregate industries to reduce the size of rock material. It breaks rocks by compressing them between a gyrating cone and a fixed outer shell. 

A cone crusher works by crushing material between a moving cone and a stationary outer shell. The material is compressed until it breaks into smaller pieces. 

It depends on the application. Jaw crushers are better for primary crushing of larger material, while cone crushers excel in secondary and tertiary crushing, producing finer output. 

A Raptor cone crusher, made by FLS, is a high-performance machine known for strong crushing force, durability, and advanced automation, ideal for mining and aggregate processing.
