You may ask if a jaw crusher or a cone crusher is better for your job. The answer depends on what material you have, your goals, and your money. Many people in mining and aggregates pick different crushers based on feed size, product needs, and how much they need to crush. Jaw crushers do the first crushing and are good with big pieces. Cone crushers are often used after that or even later. The chart below shows how much each crusher type is used around the world:
You should also think about things like if you can get spare parts, if there is help after you buy, and what kind of material you need to crush. ONA gives expert help and many crusher choices, so you can pick the best one for your work.
Jaw crushers are good for the first crushing step. They can break big, hard rocks. Their design is simple and does not cost much.Cone crushers are used after jaw crushers. They make smaller pieces that are even in size. They work faster and give better-shaped products.Pick your crusher by looking at the material type. Think about how much you need to crush. Also, check which crushing stage you are in.Jaw crushers are cheaper and easier to take care of. Cone crushers cost more but last longer. They also use less energy.ONA gives expert help and good machines. They also give fast support. This helps you choose and keep the right crusher for your work.
A jaw crusher is usually the first machine used. It has two plates. One plate stays still, and the other moves. These plates crush big rocks into smaller pieces. Jaw crushers can take in large rocks. This makes them good for primary crushing. You can change the space between the plates. This controls how big the crushed pieces are. Jaw crushers work well with hard materials like granite or old concrete. They make bigger, rougher pieces. These pieces are good for building roads and similar jobs. ONA has many jaw crusher models and spare parts. They check each one carefully to make sure it lasts a long time.
A cone crusher is used after the jaw crusher. It has a spinning cone inside a still chamber. This cone crushes the material. Cone crushers make smaller and more even pieces. You can use them for second or third crushing steps. They are great when you need a lot of crushed rock and want nice shapes. Cone crushers work best with medium or hard rocks. They can handle different sizes of rocks. ONA’s cone crushers and liners are made to work well and last long. They are tested to make sure they are top quality.
Tip: Picking the right crusher depends on your material, what size you want, and how much you need to make. ONA’s team can help you choose the best crusher for your job.
Specification | Jaw Crusher | Cone Crusher |
---|---|---|
Working Principle | Material is crushed between one still and one moving jaw plate. | Material is crushed by a spinning cone in a cone-shaped space. |
Feed Size | Takes in bigger rocks because the jaw opens wide. | Can take different sizes; space gets smaller inside the chamber. |
Output Size | Makes bigger, rougher pieces; size set by jaw gap. | Makes small, even pieces; size set by closed side setting. |
Capacity | Lower capacity; good for small or medium jobs. | Higher capacity; good for big, steady crushing jobs. |
Typical Applications | Used first in mining, quarries, and recycling. | Used next in mining and making gravel. |
Product Shape | Makes rough, uneven pieces. | Makes even, cube-shaped pieces. |
ONA’s rock crushers and parts, like jaw and cone crusher parts, meet world standards. Each machine and part is checked for quality and how well it works. You get strong crushing machines and expert help for your project.
You will notice that a jaw crusher and a cone crusher work in different ways. A jaw crusher uses two plates. One plate stays still, and the other moves back and forth. The rocks get crushed between these plates. This method works well for big, hard rocks. A cone crusher uses a spinning cone inside a fixed bowl. The rocks get squeezed and broken as the cone moves in a circle. This design helps you get smaller and more even pieces. ONA’s engineering team can help you choose the right crushing equipment for your needs.
Feature | Jaw Crusher | Cone Crusher |
---|---|---|
Structure | Fixed and moving jaw plates | Spinning cone and fixed bowl |
Crushing Action | Compresses material between plates | Squeezes material with gyrating cone |
Typical Use | Primary crushing | Secondary or tertiary crushing |
You can feed larger rocks into a jaw crusher. The wide opening lets you put in pieces up to 630 mm. This makes jaw crushers perfect for the first step in breaking down big stones. A cone crusher takes smaller rocks, usually up to 215 mm. You use a cone crusher after the jaw crusher has already made the rocks smaller.
A jaw crusher gives you bigger, rougher pieces. You can adjust the gap between the plates to change the size, but the output usually ranges from 60 to 150 mm. A cone crusher makes much smaller pieces, from 25 to 60 mm. You get more control over the final size with a cone crusher.
If you want better particle shapes, a cone crusher is the best choice. The spinning cone creates even, cube-shaped pieces. This is important for making high-quality gravel or sand. A jaw crusher makes rough and uneven pieces, which work well for road base or fill.
A jaw crusher handles 110 to 380 tons per hour. This is good for small or medium jobs. A cone crusher can process 180 to 360 tons per hour. You get higher crushing efficiency and steady output with a cone crusher, especially for large projects.
You use a jaw crusher for the first step in mining, quarrying, and recycling. Jaw crusher applications include breaking down large, hard materials. A cone crusher works best for the next steps, making smaller and more uniform pieces. Cone crusher applications include making gravel, sand, and fine aggregates.
ONA offers custom options for both jaw and cone crushers. You can request a custom logo, packaging, or even special graphics for your crusher or crusher liners. ONA’s team helps you get the right wear parts and crushing equipment for your project.
Picking the right crusher can seem hard. You may wonder if a jaw crusher or cone crusher is better for you. Let’s look at each step to help you choose the best one.
First, think about what you need to crush. Different materials need different crushers. Here’s a simple guide:
Jaw crushers are good for big rocks like granite. You can also use them for breaking concrete and recycling.
Cone crushers are used after jaw crushers. They work well with hard rocks and make smaller pieces.
Impact crushers are best for softer rocks like limestone. They are also good for recycling concrete and asphalt.
If you mostly crush big, hard rocks or old concrete, pick a jaw crusher. If you want small, even pieces from hard stone, use a cone crusher.
Think about how much you need to crush each hour. Your goal will help you pick the right crusher.
Use a jaw crusher if your job is small or medium. One machine may be enough. Jaw crushers cost less at first and are good for the first step.
If you need to crush a lot and one jaw crusher is not enough, use a cone crusher. Cone crushers are great for big jobs and make fine pieces. They use less energy and work well for a long time.
Cone crushers last longer and need less fixing. This helps if you crush a lot every day.
Jaw crushers can crush up to 1500 tons per hour. Cone crushers work best after jaw crushers, making steady, high amounts.
You need to match the crusher to the right step. Here’s a table to help you:
Crushing Stage | Purpose | Recommended Crusher Types | Key Points |
---|---|---|---|
Primary | First size reduction | Jaw crusher | Handles large feed, strong structure |
Secondary | Prepare for final crushing | Cone crusher, impact crusher | Good product shape, efficient for fine output |
Tertiary | Produce fine, quality product | Fine crushers, sand makers | Focus on shape and quality |
Use a jaw crusher first. It breaks big rocks into smaller ones.
Use a cone crusher next. It makes smaller, even pieces.
Sometimes, you can use a cone crusher first if your rocks are already small.
Tip: Always use the right crusher for the step and rock size. This gives you the best results and shape.
Money is important when picking a crusher. The price changes based on type, size, and features.
Crusher Type | Approximate Price Range (USD) |
---|---|
Single Toggle Jaw Crusher | 10,000 - 100,000 |
Double Toggle Jaw Crusher | 50,000 - 200,000+ |
PE Jaw Crusher | 15,000 - 150,000 |
PEX Jaw Crusher | 10,000 - 100,000 |
Cone Crusher (100-150 tph) | 280,000 - 380,000 |
Jaw crushers usually cost less than cone crushers. Cone crushers cost more because they make finer pieces and have special designs.
The price also depends on how much it can crush, how it is made, and extra features.
Shipping, setup, and the kind of rock you crush can change the total price.
Note: ONA gives good prices for both jaw and cone crushers. You get strong machines, careful checks, and good help after you buy.
