In sand and gravel aggregate production, construction waste processing, and small-scale quarry operations, many users are looking for a crushing solution that is low-investment, quick-return, and highly flexible.
Inexpensive crushers are a common focus, and the PE250x400 jaw crusher paired with a diesel engine is a star product that meets this need.
Today, we'll delve into the pricing structure, core advantages, and key selection points of this equipment to help you make the wisest decision.
I. What is the price of a PE250x400 diesel jaw crusher?
This is the question users are most concerned about. It's important to clarify that inexpensive is a relative concept; equipment prices fluctuate significantly due to factors such as brand, configuration, origin, and market supply and demand.
Currently, a fully equipped PE250x400 diesel-powered mobile jaw crusher (including a diesel engine, generator, chassis, feeder, etc.) typically costs around US$5,000.
The price differences mainly stem from the following aspects:
1. Brand Value: Equipment from well-known brands offers better guarantees in terms of materials, craftsmanship, and after-sales service, naturally resulting in higher prices.
2. Quality of Core Components: The diesel engine is a major cost component. The price difference between using a well-known domestic brand (such as Yuchai or Weichai) and an imported brand (such as Cummins or Volvo) is significant. Similarly, the quality of the steel and heat treatment process of the jaw crusher itself directly affects the price and lifespan.
3. Configuration Level: Whether it's a basic bare machine or equipped with a wheeled chassis, feeder, belt conveyor, hydraulic adjustment device, etc., will completely change the price.
4. Supplier Type: Purchasing directly from the manufacturer is usually more cost-effective than buying through intermediaries.
Tip: When requesting a quote, be sure to clarify the specific configuration list included in the quote to avoid additional costs later.

II. Why Choose the PE250x400 Diesel-Powered Jaw Crusher?
The advantages of this equipment lie not only in its lower initial investment but also in its comprehensive benefits.
• Extremely flexible, ready to use anytime: Diesel power eliminates dependence on industrial power grids, making it particularly suitable for field operations, areas without power grid coverage, and projects requiring frequent relocation.
• Low investment threshold, quick return on investment: Compared to large fixed production lines, its purchase cost is low, making it very friendly to small and medium-sized investors or startups with limited funds, allowing for rapid production and profitability.
• Stable core performance: The PE250x400 is a classic model that has been proven in the market for a long time. The feed inlet size is 250x400mm, the maximum allowable feed particle size is approximately 210mm, the adjustment range is between 20-60mm, and the hourly output can reach 5-20 tons, meeting various small and medium-scale crushing needs.
• Multi-purpose: Not only can it crush medium-hard materials such as limestone and bluestone, but by changing the jaw plates, it can also process construction waste (concrete, bricks) for resource utilization.
III. How to choose a high-performance, low-cost stone crusher?
Focusing solely on price can lead to mistakes; pursuing value ensures long-term success. When purchasing, please pay attention to the following points:
1. Clarify your needs: What materials will you primarily crush? What is your expected output? Is the operating site fixed? This will determine the specific configuration you need.
2. Focus on core components: Personally inspect or request the supplier to provide the brand and model information of the jaw crusher's main unit and diesel engine. High-quality jaw plates and a high-efficiency diesel engine are the cornerstone of stable production.
3. Verify the mobile nature: Confirm the structural strength and tire quality of the mobile chassis to ensure it can withstand the bumps during relocation.
4. After-sales service is crucial: Inexpensive equipment requires reliable after-sales service. Inquire about the supply cycle of vulnerable parts (such as jaw plates), and whether installation guidance and technical support are provided.
The PE250x400 diesel-powered jaw crusher, with its reasonable price, excellent flexibility, and reliable performance, has become one of the top choices for high-performance, cost-effective stone crushing operations. Its inexpensiveness is reflected in precise cost control and efficient practicality.
When requesting a quote, please look beyond the price and consider the equipment configuration, brand reputation, and after-sales service. Choosing a reputable and professional manufacturer is crucial to maximizing your return on investment.
