🇬🇧 Crusher Selection Based on Rock Properties in 100-150 TPH Plants – DRG-Crusher
Introduction
Crushing plants with a capacity of 100-150 tons per hour are widely used in medium-scale operations. One of the most critical factors in ensuring efficient output is choosing the right type of crusher. The physical properties of the rock directly influence crusher performance. Parameters such as hardness, abrasiveness, moisture content, and input size play a key role in selecting the appropriate crusher.
Key Physical Properties of Rocks
-
Hardness (Mohs Scale)
-
Hard stones like granite and basalt require strong crushers.
-
Jaw or cone crushers are suitable for these types.
-
-
Abrasiveness
-
Rocks containing quartz wear down crushing surfaces faster.
-
Choose wear-resistant crushers for abrasive materials.
-
-
Moisture Content
-
Wet materials can clog traditional crushers.
-
Open-rotor impact crushers are better for moist stones.
-
-
Input Size
-
Large stones are more manageable with jaw crushers.
-
Cone crushers are better for finer final products.

Matching Rock Properties with Crusher Types
Rock Property | Suitable Crusher Type | Notes |
---|---|---|
High Hardness | Jaw / Cone Crusher | Used as primary or secondary |
Medium Hardness | Impact Crusher | Ideal for secondary crushing |
Abrasive Material | Cone Crusher | High resistance required |
Moist Material | Open-Rotor Impact Crusher | Reduces clogging risk |
Conclusion
For 100-150 TPH crushing plants, choosing the correct crusher type depends heavily on analyzing the rock’s physical characteristics. DRG-Crusher offers professional consultation to match rock types with the right equipment, ensuring consistent and effective performance in all production conditions.
