Comparing the PE600x900 and PE500x750 is a classic consideration when selecting a medium-sized crushing station. Both models are very popular, but they serve slightly different roles.
Let's first quickly review the core parameter differences in a table, followed by a detailed analysis of their strengths and weaknesses.
Core Parameter Comparison Table
| Features | PE-500×750 (57mm Jaw Crusher) | PE-600×900 (69mm Jaw Crusher) | Comparative Analysis |
| Feed Inlet Size (mm) | 500×750 | 600×900 | The 69mm crusher has a larger feed inlet and can handle larger rocks |
| Maximum Feed Size (mm) | ~425 | ~500 | 69 broken can process larger raw stones. |
| Discharge Adjustment Range (mm) | 50-100 | 65-160 | 69 break has a wider adjustment range and higher flexibility |
| Processing Capacity (t/h) | 40-110 (commonly around 50-80) | 50-180 (commonly around 70-120) | Core Difference: The 69 crusher has a significantly higher throughput, approximately 1.3-1.5 times that of the 57 crusher. |
| Motor Power (kW) | 55 | 75 | The 69 crusher consumes more power and consumes more energy. |
| Equipment Weight (tons) | ~12 | ~15.5 - 17 | The 69 crusher is heavier, has a larger structure, and uses more robust materials, but also has higher infrastructure and moving costs. |
| Reference Price | Relatively Low | Relatively High | The 69 crusher has higher equipment and supporting costs. |
Advantages of the PE-600×900 (compared to the PE-500×750)
1. Higher Output (Core Advantage)
This is the most significant advantage. The 69mm crusher boasts a processing capacity approximately 30%-50% higher than the 57mm crusher. This is a crucial factor for stone mills or projects seeking economies of scale and with certain production requirements. Choosing the 69mm crusher means crushing more material per unit time, directly increasing profits.
2. Larger Feed Size
The 600x900mm feed opening allows for stone up to 500mm in diameter, while the 500x750mm feed opening typically only accepts stone under 425mm. This means that in the quarry, excavators can directly feed larger raw stone into the crusher, reducing the workload of primary blasting or pre-crushing with hydraulic hammers and improving front-end efficiency.
3. Wider Application Range and Greater Scalability
The 69mm crusher's high capacity makes it ideal for primary crushing in medium- to large-scale production lines. Whether in a fixed stone production line or a mobile crushing station, the 69mm crusher is a more mainstream configuration, better matching downstream secondary crushing equipment (such as cone crushers and impact crushers) to form a highly efficient production combination.
Disadvantages of the PE-600×900 (compared to the PE-500×750)
1. Higher Purchase Cost
The initial investment cost of a 69-inch crusher is significantly higher than that of a 57-inch crusher, both in terms of the price of the unit itself and the supporting feeders, conveyors, and power systems.
2. Higher Energy Consumption
A 75kW motor has a higher hourly electricity bill than a 55kW motor. While the energy efficiency per unit of output may be higher, the total electrical load is significantly increased.
3. Larger and Heavier
This means:
◦ Higher infrastructure requirements: A larger, more solid foundation is required.
◦ Difficulty in mobility: If the production line is fixed, it is rarely moved after installation. However, if future relocation is considered, a 69-inch crusher will be more difficult.
◦ Not suitable for sites with extremely limited space.
4. Potential "overwhelming" performance
If your actual production needs do not reach 50 tons/hour, or if upstream feed capacity is insufficient, using a 69mm crusher will result in excessively high equipment idleness and a lower return on investment than choosing a more suitable 57mm crusher.
Advantages of the PE-500×750 (compared to the PE-600×900) (from a reverse perspective)
1. Low investment threshold and high cost-performance
For users with limited budgets or those in initial trial production, the 57mm crusher is a more economical option, effectively reducing initial investment pressure.
2. Low energy consumption and operating costs
Lower power consumption and electricity costs meet energy conservation and consumption reduction requirements.
3. Small footprint and high flexibility
Reduced site requirements make it more suitable for projects with limited space and low production requirements, such as small sand and gravel plants, environmentally friendly brick factories, and construction waste disposal projects.
| Choosing the PE-600×900 (69mm crusher) | Choosing the PE-500×750 (57mm crusher) |
| ✅ High output requirements: Target hourly output is 70-120 tons or above. | ✅ Limited budget: Hoping to control initial investment costs. |
| ✅ Large material size: Rough stone sizes are generally 400-500mm. | ✅ Moderate output requirements: 40-80 tons per hour can meet demand. |
| ✅ Large scale: Serves as the core coarse crushing equipment for medium-sized or larger fixed production lines or mobile plants. | ✅ Energy-sensitive: Requires high control over electricity costs. |
| ✅ Future expansion plans: Reserve space for subsequent capacity increases. | ✅ Limited site space: Limited installation space. |
| ✅ Pursuing long-term economies of scale: Prioritizing the long-term benefits of lower per-ton crushing costs. | ✅ Capacity matching: Upstream feed capacity or downstream equipment processing capacity precisely matches the 57mm crusher, avoiding resource waste. |
In short: The PE-600x900 is an upgrade option for those seeking higher production volumes and economies of scale, while the PE-500x750 is a cost-effective option for medium-volume production and investment efficiency.
The final decision should be made based on a comprehensive assessment of your material characteristics, target production volume, budget constraints, and site conditions. We recommend that you share your specific requirements with your supplier so they can provide the most suitable solution.
