What is the capacity of stone crusher plant?

The capacity of a stone crusher plant varies widely depending on several factors, such as the type of crusher, the size and hardness of the feed material, the desired output size, and the plant's design and configuration. Here are some common capacity ranges for different types of stone crusher plants.

Common capacity ranges of stone crusher plant

1.Small-scale crushing plants: These plants might have a capacity ranging from a few tons per hour to around 100 tons per hour. For example, some small portable stone crusher plants or those used in small quarries or construction sites could have a capacity in the range of 20 to 80 tons per hour.

2.Medium-scale crushing plants: The capacity of medium-sized stone crusher plants is typically between 100 and 500 tons per hour. These plants are suitable for medium-sized quarries or mining operations.

3.Large-scale crushing plants: Large stone crusher plants can have a capacity of 500 tons per hour or more. Some very large plants may even have a capacity exceeding 1000 tons per hour. These are usually found in major mining and aggregate production sites.

It's important to note that these are just general capacity ranges, and the actual capacity of a specific stone crusher plant can vary significantly based on the specific equipment and operating conditions.

How to calculate stone crusher plant capacity

1.For jaw crusher

Adjustment for Actual Conditions: In practice, the jaw crusher theoretical capacity needs to be adjusted for factors such as the material's porosity, moisture content, and the crusher's efficiency. The actual capacity is often around 10 - 30% lower than the theoretical capacity.

2.For cone crusher

Using Manufacturer's Specifications: Most cone crusher manufacturers provide empirical formulas or performance curves based on extensive testing. These can be used to estimate the capacity based on the crusher model, the closed - side setting (CSS), and the type of material.

3.For impact crusher

Accounting for Material Rebound: Impact crushers often have material that rebounds and may re - enter the crushing zone. This factor needs to be considered when calculating the capacity, and it can be estimated through experimental data or manufacturer's guidelines for different materials.

4.Overall Considerations for Stone Crusher Plant Capacity

4-1 Multiple Crushers in Series or Parallel.

If the plant has multiple crushers arranged in series, the overall capacity is limited by the capacity of the slowest crusher in the sequence. For crushers in parallel, the total capacity is the sum of the capacities of the individual crushers, but this also depends on how well the feed is distributed among them.

4-2 Feed and Discharge Conditions

The consistency of the feed rate and the efficiency of the discharge system also affect the overall capacity of the plant. A continuous and uniform feed is ideal for maximizing capacity, and any blockages or inefficiencies in the discharge system can reduce the actual throughput.
