How to pick the Stone Crusher Size

When it comes to crushing stones for various industries, choosing the right crusher can feel like solving a puzzle. After all, every stone has unique properties, and every industry has specific size requirements for its materials. Whether you’re working on a road construction project, mining operation, or producing aggregates for construction, selecting the right combination of crushers is crucial.

In this blog, we'll explore what kind of stone requires what type of crusher. We've broken it down into a simple table for easy understanding, covering input and output sizes, primary and secondary crushers, and their roles in the process.

So, let’s get started and simplify the world of stone crushing!

Industry	Stone	Input Size	Output Size	Primary Crusher Needed	Secondary Crusher Needed
Road Construction	Basalt	300-600 mm	20-40 mm	Jaw Crusher 36x24	Cone Crusher 42x8
	Granite	300-800 mm	20-50 mm	Jaw Crusher 42x30	Impact Crusher 48x10
Mining	Limestone	500-800 mm	10-30 mm	Jaw Crusher 42x32	Hammer Crusher 36x20
	Iron Ore	400-700 mm	10-20 mm	Jaw Crusher 36x24	Cone Crusher 42x10
	Coal	200-400 mm	0-50 mm	Roll Crusher 30x18	- -
Construction Aggregates	Dolomite	400-600 mm	10-40 mm	Jaw Crusher 42x30	Impact Crusher 48x10
	Sandstone	300-500 mm	5-20 mm	Jaw Crusher 36x24	Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (VSI) 42x8
Cement Industry	Gypsum	100-300 mm	0-10 mm	Hammer Crusher 30x18	- -
	Barite	200-400 mm	0-50 mm	Jaw Crusher 36x20	Hammer Crusher 30x18
Marble Processing	Marble	300-600 mm	20-50 mm	Jaw Crusher 36x24	Impact Crusher 42x10
Chemical Industry	Talc	200-400 mm	0-10 mm	Hammer Crusher 30x18	- -
	Graphite	300-500 mm	5-20 mm	Jaw Crusher 36x20	Cone Crusher 42x8
Infrastructure Projects	Sand	0-50 mm	0-10 mm	Jaw Crusher 30x18	Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (VSI) 36x24
	Granite	300-800 mm	20-50 mm	Jaw Crusher 42x30	Cone Crusher 48x10

1. Crusher Pairing: Most applications require a combination of primary and secondary crushers to achieve the desired output size.

2. Flexibility in Selection: For softer stones (e.g., coal, gypsum), a single crusher is often sufficient, while harder stones (e.g., basalt, granite) require both jaw and roll crushers.

3. Sizing Matters: Proper sizing of crushers ensures efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

As we’ve seen, the choice of crusher depends not just on the type of stone but also on the industry’s specific needs. While a jaw crusher is perfect for primary crushing of large stones, secondary crushers like roll crushers and hammer crushers refine the material to meet the desired output size.

Understanding these dynamics can help you select the right equipment for your project, saving both time and money. If you’re looking for reliable and efficient jaw or roll crushers, feel free to reach out. Let’s ensure your crushing process is as smooth as possible—pun intended!
