Stone crusher is the core equipment for crushing various rocks and stones in global sand & stone processing, mining and building materials industries. Different crushers vary greatly in feeding size, output granularity and capacity, so they are suitable for different working sites and materials. With years of experience in R&D and manufacturing, Shanghai Dongmeng produces a full range of mainstream stone crushers. This article explains the common types, features and applications for global customers to choose the right equipment easily.

Jaw Stone Crusher

Jaw crusher is a typical primary crushing machine that crushes stones by extrusion and grinding between movable and fixed jaws.

It has large feeding opening, strong pressure resistance, simple and stable structure, low failure rate, easy maintenance and affordable cost.

Applications: Primary crushing of raw ore in mines, raw material processing in large quarries, large stone processing for highways and railways. Suitable for high-hardness stones such as granite, basalt and iron ore, widely used around the world.

Cone Stone Crusher

Cone crusher realizes secondary and fine crushing by gyratory extrusion inside the cone body.

It runs smoothly, with large capacity, uniform and round finished stones, excellent wear resistance and intelligent control.

Applications: Secondary fine crushing, high-grade aggregate production, ore dressing. Suitable for medium and high-hardness stones like river pebbles, quartzite and granite, widely used in large sand factories and mining deep processing projects.

Impact Stone Crusher

Impact crusher crushes and shapes stones by high-speed rotor impact and repeated collision on the impact plate.

It produces well-shaped stones with few flaky particles, flexible granularity adjustment and easy operation.

Applications: Aggregate shaping, building stone production, construction waste recycling. Suitable for medium and low-hardness stones such as limestone, bluestone and coal gangue, often used in road engineering and batching plants.

Mobile Stone Crusher

Mobile crusher is an integrated crushing equipment with wheel-type and crawler-type versions.

No fixed installation is needed. It can move freely and crush materials on site, saving transportation cost. Dual-power design supports operation in remote areas without power grid.

Applications: Urban demolition waste treatment, small quarries, mountain mines, temporary road construction. Ideal for global mobile projects needing frequent site changes.

Vertical Shaft Impact Sand Maker

Vertical shaft impact sand maker uses “stone-on-stone” and “stone-on-iron” principles for fine crushing and sand making.

It has high sand yield, reasonable gradation and meets high-standard construction sand requirements with complete dust removal design.

Applications: Artificial sand making, fine stone processing, ore powder production. Widely used in building sand, highway pavement sand and water conservancy projects.

How to Choose the Right Stone Crusher

Material hardness: High-hardness rocks use jaw + cone crushers; soft stones use impact crushers.
Processing procedure: Primary crushing with jaw crusher, secondary fine crushing with cone crusher, high-grade sand with sand maker.
Site condition: Fixed long-term sites use stationary crushers; mobile sites use mobile crushers.
Finished product demand: Conventional crushers for stones; special sand makers for high-standard sand.
