Selecting the appropriate crusher model is crucial for optimizing efficiency, reducing operational costs, and meeting production requirements. Different crushing applications demand varying throughput capacities, material hardness, and output sizes. This article will help you choose the best crusher model based on the customer’s production capacity needs.
Understand the Customer’s Production Requirements
Before selecting a crusher, gather key information:
Desired Output Capacity – The required processing volume.
Feed Material Characteristics – Hardness, abrasiveness, moisture content, and input size.
Final Product Size – Required particle size after crushing (e.g., coarse, medium, fine).
Application – Whether it’s for mining, aggregates, recycling, or industrial processing.
| Equipment | Feeding Size | Production Capacity | Material |
| Jaw crusher | ≤1200 | 10-2000 | Materials with compressive strength ≤320MPa |
| Impact crusher | ≤800 | 46-670 | Medium-hardness and soft materials |
| Cone crusher | ≤480 | 40-3035 | Materials of medium to high hardness and high hardness |
| Hammer crusher | ≤1000 | 80-600 | Medium-hardness and brittle materials |
Key Factors Influencing Crusher Selection
Material Hardness & Abrasiveness: Harder materials require robust crushers (jaw/cone/gyratory).
Feed Size vs. Discharge Size: Larger feed sizes may need primary jaw crushers, while finer outputs require cone or impact crushers.
Mobility Needs: For portable plants, consider mobile jaw/cone/impact crushers.
Energy Efficiency & Maintenance Costs: Cone crushers offer better efficiency for high-capacity fine crushing.
