Common Types and Prices of Stone Crushers

A number of people who are about to get in mining business will be confused when they need to make an option on some kind of mining machine among the various, especially on stone crusher. And I have sorted out a frequent question from Quora regarding the common types and prices of stone crushers, which is also the topic I am going to take about in this article.

"A crusher is a machine designed to reduce large rocks into smaller rocks, gravel, or rock dust.

Crushers may be used to reduce the size, or change the form, of waste materials so they can be more easily disposed of or recycled, or to reduce the size of a solid mix of raw materials (as in rock ore), so that pieces of different composition can be differentiated. Crushing is the process of transferring a force amplified by mechanical advantage through a material made of molecules that bond together more strongly, and resist deformation more, than those in the material being crushed do." according to Wikipedia.

Let's continue to unveil the common types, prices and other issues of stone crushers you might be interested in.

What Are Common Stone Crusher Types?

Let's take HXJQ for example. There are mainly eight kinds of stone crushers: jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher, mobile crusher, sand maker, combination crusher, hammer crusher and roller crusher in HXJQ, a direct large-scale stone crusher supplier in China, you could get more about it through about us. And I am going to give a specific introduction on jaw crusher, mobile crusher in this article because the two kinds of crushers have been witnessed to be used in a wide range of fields.

Jaw Crusher

Frankly speaking, jaw crusher comes into being in an early time than the other of its kind and has been widely applied to processing all kinds of minerals with hardness among 147-245Mpa in mining, metallurgy, cement, highway, railway, hydropower and chemical industry.

A.Advantages

1. Sophisticated and advanced technique

HXJQ combines his own several decades of experience with advanced technology from German and America to design this jaw crusher made up of excellent-quality materials, which effectively improves its efficiency.

2. Dural Liners

The outer frame of toggle seat made of cast steel perfectly matches the crushing rack and enhances the radial strength of the toggle seat greatly. On the other hand, the bigger and more durable eccentric shaft demonstrates greater bearing and more effective sealing, which will offer you a more stable performance of stone crusher.

3. Flexible adjusting of discharging outlet

HXJQ Jaw crusher's cavity is in a symmetrical form of "V" with the addition of adjusting wedge, which is safer and more convenient.

B.Price of jaw crusher

Apparently, the price of jaw crusher fluctuates with different manufacturers, qualities, regions and market demand. In order to help you to form a broad concept, I have done some research on Alibaba and am about to list some price norms of jaw crusher for your reference.

A jaw crusher with small capacity, let's see 1-10t/h, is sold for about 2000-9000 dollars, and the other with capacity over 20t/h is at least sold for 10000 dollars.

Mobile Crusher

I believe that most of us have heard a lot about mobile crusher. It could be divided into two kinds: wheel-type mobile crusher and crawler-type mobile crusher and has been popular in the market owe to their agility, self-contained structure and unquestionable productivity as well as eco-friendly feature.

A.Wheel-type and Crawler-type Mobile Crushers Have Something in Common

They both shows good flexibility in operation

Besides they could reach diverse complicated sites, they will save a lot of time for you and won't drag your project back.

 Self-contained structure

No excessive time and energy is needed for their on-site installation thanks to the self-contained structure.

 Reduce the cost of materials delivery

Either wheel-type mobile crusher or crawler-type mobile crusher could be directly driven to operation site, which indicates that there is no need to transfer materials from one place to another. So you won't pay extra fee.

Apart from these advantages they both share, there is also something different between them.

B.Comparison between Wheel-type Mobile Crusher and Crawler-type Mobile Crusher

1. Movability

In fact, wheel-type mobile crusher is not as better as the crawler-type one in terms of movability, because it needs to be towed to move at some point.

2. Operation site

Wheel-type mobile crusher is better to be used to process construction wastes and other stones for building material because of the way it moves. On the other hand, crawler-type mobile crusher with greater movability and adjustability, could be thrown into operation even in tough conditions such as exposed coal processing and mountain slope climbing.

3. Efficiency

Wheel-type mobile crusher owns greater stability because its whole hydraulic base is fixed and strengthened in operation, which enables it to team up with large equipment in a more stable way to guarantee a higher processing efficiency.

4. End Products

Compared with crawler-type mobile crusher, wheel-type mobile crusher is capable of turning construction waste into fine-size aggregates and more environmentally friendly.

In summary, each type of stone crusher has its unique advantages and the most suitable one comes from your choice based on your real requirements.
