Sand and gravel aggregate is the fundamental raw material for highways, bridges, residential buildings, water conservancy projects, concrete and asphalt pavements. As the core host of aggregate production lines, the aggregate crusher directly determines aggregate particle shape, gradation, hourly output and overall operation cost of the whole crushing plant. Raw stone varies greatly in hardness, ranging from soft limestone and shale to hard granite, basalt and river pebble. A single sand and gravel aggregate crusher cannot fit all working conditions. Reasonable combination of jaw crusher, cone crusher, impact crusher, hammer crusher and mobile aggregate crushing plant helps you build high-profit aggregate processing lines.
H2 1. Main Types of Aggregate Crusher & Corresponding Application Scenarios
Different aggregate crushers are designed for primary, secondary and tertiary crushing & shaping procedures. Match machines properly to get ideal finished aggregate:
Jaw Crusher – Primary Crushing Core for Aggregate ProductionAs the first-stage host in aggregate lines, jaw crusher features large feeding opening, handling raw rock over 800mm with compressive strength below 320MPa. It is standard equipment for stationary aggregate plants and tracked mobile crusher stations. Jaw crushers crush large mining stones into 100-300mm medium materials for secondary crushing, with stable running performance and long service life of wear parts, ideal for large open-pit aggregate quarry projects.
Cone Crusher – Best Secondary Aggregate Crusher for Hard RockWhen processing high-abrasion hard aggregate like granite and basalt, the hydraulic cone crusher is the top alternative to impact crusher. Adopting laminated crushing principle, cone crushers produce aggregate with low flaky particle ratio, high throughput and low wear loss. Two models, spring cone and multi-cylinder hydraulic cone, are available for 200-800tph large aggregate production lines, widely used for high-standard aggregate of expressways and high-speed railways.
Impact Crusher (VSI Sand Making Machine) – Tertiary Shaping Aggregate CrusherIf you need 0-5mm manufactured sand and well-formed cubical aggregate, VSI impact crusher is the dedicated shaping aggregate crusher. It supports rock-on-rock and rock-on-iron dual working modes, polishing sharp edges during crushing. The flaky particle content of finished aggregate is less than 10%, fully meeting standards for bridges, airports and municipal high-grade concrete. It usually works with box-type crusher and hammer crusher to form three-stage aggregate crushing flow.
Hammer Crusher & Box-type Crusher – Cost-Effective Crusher for Soft AggregateFor medium & low-hardness materials such as limestone, dolomite and recycled construction waste aggregate, hammer crusher and heavy box-type crusher realize primary & fine crushing in one unit, cutting initial investment cost. Small sand quarries and waste recycling stations prefer this equipment, which can finish small-scale aggregate production independently.
Mobile Aggregate Crushing Plant (Tire / Tracked Type) – Flexible On-Site Aggregate ProcessingFor projects with limited space, scattered raw materials or short-term construction, tracked mobile aggregate crushing plant and wheeled portable aggregate crusher are the perfect choice. Integrated feeder, crusher and screen, no fixed foundation required. Operators can move the whole machine directly into quarries or demolition sites to process aggregate on spot. The mobile station can be equipped with jaw, cone or impact crusher freely, popular among overseas small aggregate factories and urban construction waste recycling projects.
