Cone crushers are widely used in the minerals industry. An article in the December 2003 issue of Industrial Minerals looks at how the cone crusher works, and at a model for predicting its performance ('Crunch Time' pps. 66-69).

The increasing use of cone crushers is also highlighted by Ellie Pratt in an article ('Pebble dashed' pps. 25-26) in the December 2003 issue of World Mining Equipment).
