Which Crusher is Best for Processing Aggregates?

Stone processing follows the workflow of primary crushing → secondary & fine crushing → sand making & shaping. SBM crushing equipment covers the entire process, featuring stable performance, excellent grain shape, compatibility with both hard and soft rocks, and a wide capacity range, making it an ideal choice for stone processing.
I. Primary Crushing: Jaw Crushers (PE / PEW / C6X Series)
Jaw crushers are the core equipment for primary crushing, suitable for crushing large raw ores with a maximum compressive strength of 320 MPa.
PE Series: Classic model with simple structure, reliable operation and low cost. Equipped with high-manganese steel jaw plates for wear and impact resistance, and an overload protection toggle plate. Ideal for small and medium-sized production lines.
PEW European Series & C6X Series: Deep crushing chamber, large crushing ratio and high capacity (over 1,000 TPH). Hydraulic discharge opening adjustment for easy maintenance. Suitable for large mines and high-capacity projects.
Application: Primary crushing of granite, basalt, limestone, cobblestone and other raw ores, reducing large materials to 100–300 mm.

II. Secondary & Fine Crushing: Cone Crushers & Impact Crushers
1. Cone Crushers (HPT / HST / CS Series) – Champion for Hard Rock Crushing
Cone crushers adopt lamination crushing, producing uniform finished products with few needle-like and flaky particles, specially designed for high-hardness materials.
HPT Multi-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher: Full hydraulic adjustment and intelligent cavity cleaning protection. Efficient and stable for processing hard rocks such as granite and basalt, with a capacity of 45–1,400 TPH and precise finished product size control of 3–64 mm.
HST Single-Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher: Compact structure, low failure rate and easy maintenance. Suitable for secondary/fine crushing and high-quality aggregate production.
CS Spring Cone Crusher: Classic, durable and cost-effective. Multi-cavity switching for both secondary and fine crushing.

2. Impact Crushers (CI5X / PFW / PF Series) – Preferred for Medium-Hard Rock
Impact crushers crush materials via high-speed impact, delivering excellent grain shape and large crushing ratio. Suitable for medium-low hardness materials such as limestone and bluestone.
CI5X Series: Large feed opening, high capacity, robust rotor and wear-resistant blow bars. Capable of one-step crushing to simplify the process and reduce costs.
PFW European Series & PF Series: Cost-effective with uniform discharge, suitable for standard stone and construction aggregate processing.
III. Sand Making & Shaping: VSI Series Vertical Shaft Impact Crushers
For high-quality manufactured sand production or stone shaping, choose SBM VSI6X / VSI5X / VSI Sand Making Machines.
With dual working modes (rock-on-rock / rock-on-iron), the finished sand has round grain shape and reasonable gradation, meeting high-standard construction sand requirements.It adopts split-type peripheral guard plates and wear-resistant impellers for long service life and low wear-part cost. Hydraulic cover opening enables convenient maintenance.
IV. Flexible Solution: Mobile Crushing Plants
Track-mounted or wheel-mounted mobile plants integrate crushing and screening functions, enabling fast relocation, no infrastructure construction and quick commissioning.
Primary Crushing Mobile Plant (equipped with jaw crusher): For large raw ore processing.
Secondary & Fine Crushing Mobile Plant (equipped with cone/impact crusher): Flexible processing of hard or medium-hard rock.
Sand Making Mobile Plant: On-site sand making and shaping, suitable for construction waste, cobblestone, etc.
