Mobile jaw and cone crushing plant
In mining, construction materials, and road construction projects, efficiently and economically crushing large raw materials (such as 400mm boulders, granite, basalt, etc.) to the medium and fine particle sizes required for construction (such as 12mm) is a critical link in the production chain. Recently, we have received many inquiries from customers: What is the price of a mobile crushing plant that can crush 400mm material down to 12mm, with a production capacity of 120 tons per hour, equipped with a jaw crusher and a cone crusher?
As an equipment manufacturer with 20 years of experience in this industry, we understand your concern about the price. However, we must honestly tell you: there is no single price answer to this question. A mobile crushing plant that meets your needs typically falls within the range of 800,000 to 3,000,000 RMB (approximately US$110,000 to US$420,000). Why such a large price difference? Please allow us to provide a detailed analysis.

I. The Iceberg Model of Price Composition: Visible Equipment and Invisible Value
Customers first see the price of the main equipment, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The total cost is determined by multiple factors:
1. Core Configuration Level (Dominant Price Factor):

The core equipment of the mobile crushing plant - C-series jaw crusher.
◦ Jaw Crusher: This is the pioneer for processing large 400mm materials. Price differences are reflected in the plate material (such as Mn13, Mn18), bearing brand (SKF, TIMKEN), and the sophistication of the hydraulic adjustment and overload protection systems.

The core equipment of the mobile crushing plant - Cone crusher
◦ Cone Crusher: This is the key player in achieving 12mm fine material and stable output. Multi-cylinder hydraulic cone crushers (such as the HP series) are superior to spring cone crushers in particle shape control and output, but are more expensive. The wear-resistant materials and casting process of the crushing chamber and mantle directly affect lifespan and cost.
◦ Mobile Chassis and Power System: Track-mounted mobile crushing plants (fully hydraulically driven, adaptable to complex terrain) are significantly more expensive than wheeled mobile plants (requiring towing, with higher site requirements). Power can be selected from electric motor drive (requires external power supply, lower operating costs) or diesel engine drive (independent and flexible, higher fuel costs). 2. Engineering Implementation of Production Capacity and Particle Size Requirements:
120 tons per hour is a target value. To consistently achieve or even exceed this output, especially when processing high-hardness materials, we typically don't design at the limit, but instead choose models with a certain amount of surplus capacity. This means that what you're paying for is insurance for stability and reliability.
3. Intangible Value and Long-Term Costs:
Intelligent Control System: The advanced PLC touch screen control system enables one-button start/stop, fault diagnosis, and remote monitoring, which increases initial investment but significantly reduces maintenance difficulty and downtime risks.
Environmental Protection and Noise Reduction Design: Enclosed conveyors, spray dust suppression systems, and soundproof covers are essential components to meet modern green production requirements and also constitute part of the cost.
Manufacturer's Service Premium: 20 years of experience means we have a mature process database, enabling us to provide the most suitable cavity type and parameter design for your specific materials (please be sure to provide material samples!). Our global spare parts inventory and fast-responding engineering team can greatly reduce your overall operating costs throughout the product's lifecycle.
II. How to Obtain an Accurate Quotation?
Instead of directly asking for a price, we recommend a professional technical discussion. Please prepare the following information, which will help us provide you with the most suitable and cost-effective solution and an accurate quotation:
1. Material Identification: What type of rock is it? (e.g., granite, limestone, river pebbles) What is its compressive strength (Mohs hardness)? What are the moisture content and clay content?
2. Input and Output Health Report: Is 400mm the maximum particle size or the average particle size? What is the required particle size distribution for the 12mm output? (e.g., 90% passing through a 12mm square mesh sieve)
3. Project Overview: Where will it be used? (terrain, climate) What is the expected operating time? Is it for a single project or for multiple projects over the long term?
4. Your Preferences and Limitations: Do you prefer crawler-type or wheeled equipment? Is on-site power supply convenient? What are your specific requirements for environmental protection (dust, noise)? III. Investing in Value, Not Just Equipment
Choosing a mobile crushing plant is essentially an investment in a production unit that continuously generates profits. As a partner with 20 years of experience in design, manufacturing, and service, we provide not just a piece of equipment, but a complete solution including process design, equipment selection, installation guidance, operation training, and lifelong technical support.
We invite you to bring your specific project information and have an in-depth discussion with us. Let us use our professional expertise to transform your requirement of 120 tons per hour, from 400mm to 12mm into an efficient, profitable, and reliable real-world project. True value for money lies in the maximum value created for you throughout the entire lifecycle of the equipment.
