When it comes to the three main styles of cone crushers in the market, namely the Floating Bowl Cone, the Screw Bowl Cone and the Floating Shaft Cone, there is no one style that is solely and uniquely associated with a specific application, rather, they can all work but some are more suited than others. Depending on the type of material being processed and desired output in terms of tonnage or specification, customers have the opportunity to select any one of the three styles of cones from one single OEM, Terex MPS.

Wayne van Antwerpen, Group Crusher Technology Product Manager for Terex MP, talks us through the various cone crushers and their overall individual suitability for various applications, “We wanted to be in a position to offer a solution for every cone crushing application requirement while meeting the application needs of our customers with the best possible product quality and productivity. With the addition of the TG Series Cones to our cone crusher portfolio, we are now able to do that. The TG Cones Series allows us to further add the versatility of Bronze Bushing Technology to that of our current robust and efficient Roller Bearing Cones.
The Floating Bowl Cone, which is represented by the Terex TC Series, is ideally suited to most mining and quarrying applications, especially catering to the contractor clientele, from a secondary down to a quaternary position. The cone design performs consistently in a secondary position with an unscalped all-in-feed. This helps promote excellent shaped products through attrition crushing.”
The Screw Bowl Cone, which is represented by the Terex MVP Series offering, is also ideally suited to mining and quarrying applications, but according to Wayne, “due to the fact that this style of cone offers the large tramp iron stroke clearance, it would be the better choice when looking for a cone in a recycle type application where there is the possibility of smaller metal contaminants.” This type of cone is also well suited to high tonnage applications, and for those where large reduction ratios are required, fine/sand products are to be made, or that require strict product shape and grading requirements. The Screw Bowl Cones can work in secondary, tertiary and quaternary positions.
The Floating Shaft (Spider Bearing) Cone, represented by the Jaques Gyracone range (roller bearings) and the newly launched Cedarapids TG Cones, is also ideal for mining & quarrying applications, with similar characteristics found on the Floating Bowl cone. The large feed secondary TGS version of the new cone, which can accept a feed size up to 75% bigger than its Fine version, allows it the unique ability to be positioned in a control fed primary position for sand and gravel applications. Speaking on the spider bearing difference offered by this range of cones, Wayne explains, “The Bronze Bushed TG Spider Bearing cones fall in-line with the other 2 styles of cones when it comes to applied power and productivity, but with the ability to change the eccentric throw of the cone easily and economically gives it increased application versatility. If a higher yield of a specific-sized product is required, the numerous eccentric throw options can be changed to suit the application requirements.”
The new Cedarapids TG Series cones consist of 4 models focused on the Aggregate and Construction industries, namely the TG120 (120hp), TG220 (220hp), TG320 (320hp) and TG420 (420hp) respectively. Each model is available in 2 versions, the TG (Fine) and TGS (Secondary). The TG style can be run in a secondary, tertiary and a quaternary position; the TGS models, which can take an approximately 75% larger feed, are perfect for large feed secondary positions. There will also be 2 larger models available for large capacity mining and quarrying applications, namely the TG820 (820hp) & the TG (hp).
The first Cedarapids TG Series cone—TGS220—has recently been commissioned on the Mid North Coast, New South Wales, Australia. As Northern Region Sales Manager for Terex Jaques Australia, Ben Willcox explains, “Our customer was looking to replace an existing Allis Chalmers S36. When a rebuild was cost prohibitive, they turned to Terex Jaques for support and we were able to offer a new TGS220 at a competitive price that met all the customer’s requirements. Once commissioned, this unit increased capacity, improved reduction and allowed this site the opportunity to reduce plant operating hours. This unit also provides flexibility to adjust the stroke in the future should the plant be upgraded.”
Wayne VanAntwerpen concludes, “The new range of TG Spider Bearing cones puts us in a complete class of our own in the industry with no other OEM able to offer such a diverse and extensive cone crusher portfolio.”

Choosing a mobile impact crusher is a critical decision for any recycling or demolition operation. To ensure you choose the right screening equipment that fits your needs and budget, here are ten essential questions to guide your purchase.
Identify the type of material you will process, such as concrete, asphalt, or natural rock, and calculate projected costs per ton for running the crusher, including fuel, wear parts, and maintenance. Also be sure to estimate the amount of raw material and define the desired end-product size and quality. Understanding these factors helps determine the machine's capacity and suitability.
The company is the world’s best DPY Cone Crusher supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
While compact crushers, impact crushers, and cone crushers are used on the first pass in many applications, a secondary tool like a jaw crusher can also be necessary to break apart abrasive material into even finer sizes. Ensure that the crusher you select can produce the desired output size.
Consider local environmental regulations on noise, dust, and emissions where the crusher will operate, especially when crushing concrete or other potentially toxic waste materials. Check if electric power is available and cost-effective compared to diesel. Electric or hybrid models might offer environmental and operational advantages in certain settings.
Pay attention to engine horsepower, rotor weight, and blow bar size to understand crushing power. Evaluate hopper capacity, feeding height, total machine weight, and dimensions, and confirm the machine can be transported easily within your fleet and job sites.
Is it direct from the engine, electric, or hydraulic? Each option comes with its own trade-offs in terms of power, fuel use, and maintenance. Think about what fits your workflow best — do you want simplicity, efficiency, or flexibility in your aggregate or concrete crusher?
Some impact crushers can track while crushing, which is a game-changer on active job sites. If you're constantly repositioning equipment, this feature can save serious time and hassle.
If you're running a jaw upfront or a screen plant downstream, make sure your impact crusher plays nicely with the rest of the system. Smooth material flow through the crushing chamber is key to keeping production moving and avoiding bottlenecks.
Would a built-in screen make your life easier? How about a magnet for rebar or an extended conveyor? Don't overlook the value of integrated systems. They can make your setup more compact, efficient, and easier to manage.
Quality parts matter. Take a good look at the blow bars, rotor, hydraulics, electronics, and even the steel used in the frame. Cheap components will cost you more in the long run through wear, breakdowns, and downtime.
Quick, hassle-free maintenance keeps production moving. Look for a design that allows easy access to service points and fast blow bar changes. Less downtime means more tons crushed and fewer headaches on site. Be sure to also consider the amount of operational costs that might be needed to maintain the right crusher.
Even the best machines need service. Ask how quickly you can get replacement parts and what the local support looks like. If a critical part goes down, you want to be back up and running fast.
Asking these kinds of practical, job site-focused questions will help you find a mobile impact crusher that doesn't just tick boxes, but actually delivers on your day-to-day needs.
