Crushed stone is widely used in the construction industry as well as in railway and highway infrastructure, leading to strong market demand. As a result, many quarries have begun to establish crushed stone production lines. Recently, some users have inquired about setting up a production line with a capacity of 400 tons per hour. So, what types of mobile crushing equipment are suitable for this purpose? And how should one select the right model? Let’s explore the options.
Types of Crushers for Crushed Stone Production Lines
For a crushed stone production line, mobile jaw crushers and mobile impact crushers are commonly used.
- Mobile Jaw Crushers are suitable for coarse, medium, and fine crushing of both soft and hard materials. They offer low energy consumption, a high crushing ratio, and uniform product size.
- Mobile Impact Crushers are ideal for crushing most types of stone. They deliver high output, produce less fine powder, and yield well-shaped, tetrahedral aggregate particles.
Why Not Use Mobile Cone Crushers or Mobile Hammer Crushers?
Some might ask: Why not choose the more common mobile cone crushers or mobile hammer crushers?
There are two main reasons for not choosing mobile cone crushers:
- Compared to other mobile crushing equipment, cone crushers are generally more expensive, leading to higher equipment investment costs.
- Crushed stone produced by cone crushers often contains a higher proportion of flaky and needle-like particles, which can reduce the quality of the final product.
As for not choosing mobile hammer crushers, the main concern is the high maintenance cost. During the crushing process, materials impact the hammer from all directions, causing rapid wear—especially when crushing high-hardness materials. This accelerates wear and increases maintenance costs. Additionally, if the hammers are not replaced in time, it can negatively affect the crushing performance.
In conclusion, for a 400 t/h crushed stone production line, mobile jaw crushers and mobile impact crushers are more suitable choices due to their performance, cost-efficiency, and the quality of the final product.
What Mobile Crusher Models Are Suitable for a 400 TPH Crushed Stone Production Line?
For a crushed stone production line with a capacity of 400 tons per hour, Suhman offers several mobile crusher models that are well-suited for the task—particularly in the form of mobile jaw crushers and mobile impact crushers, known for their high throughput and efficiency.
Recommended Models:
- Suhman Mobile Jaw Crusher for Hard Rock
This model is designed specifically for high-strength, hard rock applications. It features a heavy-duty jaw crusher capable of handling large feed sizes and achieving high output. With robust construction and advanced hydraulic control systems, it can reliably process up to 400 TPH, depending on the material type and feed characteristics.
- Suhman Mobile Jaw Crusher Plus
This upgraded version offers enhanced crushing ability and operational flexibility. It is equipped with a powerful jaw crusher, extended hopper, and optimized feed system. The model is ideal for medium to large-scale quarry operations and supports production rates up to 400 tons per hour. Its intelligent control system and mobile chassis ensure high productivity with reduced downtime.
Why Choose These Models?
- Efficient primary crushing for both soft and hard stones.
- High crushing ratio and uniform output size, suitable for construction aggregates.
- Mobile chassis with crawler or wheel drive, enabling easy relocation on-site.
- Integrated feeder and pre-screening unit to maximize capacity and reduce load on the main crusher.
- Cost-effective operation, with lower maintenance needs compared to cone or hammer crushers.
Both models are excellent options for establishing a 400 TPH mobile crushed stone production line, especially when reliability, mobility, and output quality are critical.
