Dolomite is an important industrial raw material. Whether producing dolomite powder or using it as building aggregate, a high-efficiency and stable crushing and grinding production line is crucial for a company's profitability. For many small and medium-sized investors, a production capacity of 20 tons per hour is a common and realistic target.
So, how much investment is required for a dolomite crushing and grinding mill with a capacity of 20 tons per hour? What factors influence its price? This article will answer these questions.
I. Core Question: What is the price range of a dolomite crushing and grinding mill with a capacity of 20 tons per hour?
This is the most pressing question for all investors. It's important to clarify that "crushing and grinding mill" usually refers to a complete production line, not a single piece of equipment.
Therefore, the price difference is significant. A dolomite processing production line with a capacity of 20 tons per hour typically ranges in price from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of RMB.
The reasons for such a large price range are:
1. Different configuration options: Is it only necessary to crush into stones, or is it necessary to grind into fine powder?
2. Equipment model and brand: Different brands and qualities of equipment have significant price differences.
3. Automation Level: Does it include an automated control system, dust removal and noise reduction equipment, etc.?
Important Note: The following prices are only approximate estimates; the actual price will depend on the manufacturer's quotation.
II. Key Factors Behind the Price: Equipment Selection and Configuration
Your production process determines the equipment configuration, which is the main factor determining the price. Below are two common 20-ton/hour dolomite processing solutions:
Solution 1: Crushing and Sand Making Production Line (Output: 0-5mm, 5-10mm, 10-20mm aggregates, etc.)
• Core Configuration: Jaw Crusher (coarse crushing) + Impact Crusher/Cone Crusher (medium and fine crushing) + Vibrating Screen
• Process Overview: Large pieces of dolomite are first primary crushed by a jaw crusher, then secondary crushed by an impact crusher or cone crusher, and finally screened by a vibrating screen to produce finished aggregates of different specifications.
• Price Characteristics: This solution focuses relatively heavily on crushing; the investment cost is mainly concentrated in the crushing equipment.
Option 2: Powder Production Line (Output: 80-400 mesh dolomite powder)
• Core Configuration: Jaw crusher (coarse crushing) + Impact crusher (medium crushing) + Raymond mill/vertical mill (fine grinding)
• Process Overview: Dolomite is first crushed to a smaller particle size (e.g., below 30mm), then fed into a grinding mill for further grinding, supplemented by an analyzer and dust collector, to obtain powders of different finenesses.
• Price Characteristics: This option adds a grinding stage; the Raymond mill or vertical mill is the main investment, and the price is usually higher than a simple crushing production line.
III. Five Core Factors Affecting Price
1. Equipment Brand and Quality: Well-known brand equipment has better durability, stability, and after-sales service, and the price is naturally higher. However, in the long run, a lower failure rate means higher production efficiency and lower maintenance costs.
2. Technical Parameters and Energy Consumption: Electricity consumption is a major cost in long-term operation. Although energy-saving and environmentally friendly equipment may have a slightly higher initial purchase price, it can save a lot of electricity costs in the long run.
3. Automation Level: Adding a PLC automatic control system can effectively reduce labor costs and improve production stability and safety, but this will increase initial investment.
4. After-sales Service: This includes installation and commissioning, technical training, warranty period, and spare parts supply speed. High-quality after-sales service is an important component of equipment value.
5. Market and Supply Chain: Fluctuations in the price of raw materials such as steel directly affect equipment manufacturing costs, thus affecting the final selling price.
IV. Advice for Investors: How to Make Wise Purchasing Decisions?
1. Clarify Your Needs: First, determine whether your final product is aggregate or powder? What is the required fineness? Are there any flexible production volume requirements?
2. "Compare Prices"—More Than Just Price: Obtain configuration plans and quotations from multiple reputable manufacturers, focusing on comparing the rationality of their configurations, the core materials of the equipment, technical patents, and successful case studies.
3. On-site Inspection is Key: If possible, conduct an on-site inspection of the equipment manufacturer, observe equipment trial operation, and, if possible, visit their existing customer production sites.
4. Focus on Long-Term Value: Don't be solely attracted by low prices. A reliable, stable, and well-maintained production line offers stable long-term output and low maintenance costs, far more important than initial cost savings.
