Our Crushers Equipment

Powerful Solutions for Mining, Aggregates, and Mineral Processing

Raw materials are often extracted in large, unrefined forms in the mining, aggregates, and mineral processing industries—far too bulky and irregular for direct use or sale.

These raw resources, such as mined rock, stone, ore, and construction debris, must be crushed into smaller, manageable sizes to improve handling, enhance processing efficiency, and increase their commercial value.

Daswell crusher machines are engineered to meet this challenge with strength, precision, and durability.

Our crushers can efficiently reduce large and medium-sized rocks into uniform particles suitable for further processing or end use, whether dealing with hard granite, limestone, basalt, or metallic ores. This not only maximizes output but also reduces transportation and processing costs for downstream operations.

Our product range includes jaw crushers, cone crushers, impact crushers, and hammer crushers, with mobile crushing equipment and stationary crushing plants customised to your needs – each designed to suit different stages and requirements in the crushing process.

With robust construction, optimized chamber designs, and energy-efficient systems, Daswell crushers ensure stable performance, minimal downtime, and extended service life, even in the most demanding environments.

Crushers Machine FAQ

A crusher is a machine that is used to mechanically reduce the size of large materials, such as rocks, stones, ores, and construction debris, into smaller, more usable or transportable pieces. This process is essential in many industries, especially mining, quarrying, recycling, and construction.

Crushers work by applying mechanical force to materials to break them apart.
The method of crushing can vary depending on the type of crusher, but the main goal is always the same:
Reduce large, bulky raw material into smaller, uniform particles that are easier to handle, process, or sell. Crushers Wikipedia.

There are four main types of crushers:

A jaw crusher uses two plates (jaws) that move back and forth to crush material between them.

A cone crusher uses a rotating cone inside a chamber to compress and break down rock.

An impact crusher uses high-speed force to shatter materials on contact.

A hammer crusher uses rotating hammers to smash and grind brittle materials into fine particles.

In most material processing applications—especially in mining, quarrying, and aggregate production—crushing is done in three main stages to gradually reduce material size while optimizing performance and efficiency.

StageQuick SummaryPurposeCrusher Types UsedTypical Output Size
1. Primary CrushingHandles large rocks straight from the quarry or mine
Machines are designed for durability and high capacity
Breaks down large raw materials into manageable sizes for further processing.Jaw Crusher, Gyratory Crusher100–300 mm (4–12 in)
2. Secondary CrushingReceives material from the primary crusher
Focuses on finer crushing and better particle shape
Helps prepare material for final use or the next processing step
Further reduces the material from the primary stage; improves particle shape.Cone Crusher, Impact Crusher20–100 mm (0.8–4 in)
3. Tertiary CrushingProduces the required size and shape for end-use (e.g., sand, fine gravel)
Often used in high-precision applications like concrete aggregate or manufactured sand
Produces final-sized material or prepares it for grinding/screening.Cone Crusher, VSI Crusher, Hammer Crusher5–20 mm (0.2–0.8 in)

Main Uses of Crushers:

  • Mining & Quarrying: Crush hard rocks and ores (like granite, limestone, and iron ore);
    Prepare material for further processing (e.g., grinding, flotation).
  • Construction & Demolition: Recycle concrete, asphalt, and bricks; Turn waste into usable aggregates for new construction projects.
  • Aggregate Production: Produce gravel, sand, and crushed stone for road base, concrete, and asphalt; Ensure consistent size and shape for high-quality building materials.
  • Cement & Brick Manufacturing: Crush raw materials like limestone, clay, or shale before mixing and kiln processing.
  • Industrial Applications: Reduce the size of materials in chemical plants, power stations, or material recycling facilities.

The three laws of comminution are the physical laws governing the amount of energy required for size reduction: Kick’s law, Bond’s law, and Rittinger’s law.

Crushing breaks big chunks (like rocks and ores) into smaller, manageable pieces, often needed before transportation or further processing.

Grinding takes those crushed materials and pulverizes them into fine particles, suitable for final product use (like cement, mineral powder, or paint filler).

At Daswell, we offer both crushing and grinding solutions to fit your specific needs—from primary crushers to advanced grinding mills.
Whether you’re working with stone, minerals, or industrial materials, we can customize the right system for your application.

If you’re processing hard, abrasive rock, a jaw crusher for the primary stage and a cone crusher for secondary/tertiary stages is your most effective and long-lasting setup. Best Crushers for Hard Rock:

Jaw Crusher

Best for: Primary crushing of large, hard materials.

How it works: Uses compressive force between two jaw plates to crush rock.

Why it’s great:

  1. Very strong and durable
  2. Handles large feed sizes
  3. Low operating cost

Ideal for the first step in a crushing line—breaks down big boulders into manageable chunks.

Cone Crusher

Best for: Secondary or tertiary crushing of hard rock.

How it works: A cone inside a chamber compresses the rock.

Why it’s great:

  1. High crushing efficiency
  2. Good particle shape
  3. Suitable for medium to very hard materials

Works well after a jaw crusher to further reduce size and improve shape.

Impact Crusher (Limited Use)
Best for: Some types of hard rock, if designed with heavy-duty rotors and wear-resistant parts

Why use cautiously: Can produce a good shape, but may wear faster with extremely hard, abrasive materials

Avoid Using: Hammer crushers or light-duty impact crushers for hard rock—they wear quickly and can be inefficient.

You need a machine that can handle high compressive strength and abrasive materials like granite, basalt, quartzite, and trap rock.

Need a complete crushing solution?

Daswell offers heavy-duty jaw and cone crushers designed for hard rock applications, with optional custom configurations and wear-resistant components.

Crushers have been used for centuries to break down large materials like stone and ore. The earliest forms were simple manual tools, but in 1858, Eli Whitney Blake invented the first practical jaw crusher, marking the beginning of modern crushing technology during the Industrial Revolution.

Since then, crushers have evolved into powerful machines used across the mining, construction, and recycling industries. Today’s crushers—like jaw, cone, impact, and hammer types—are faster, more efficient, and equipped with smart features for high-capacity material processing.

Combining a rich history with modern engineering, Daswell offers cutting-edge jaw, cone, impact, and hammer crushers designed to meet the toughest demands of the global mining, quarrying, and construction industries.

The ideal crusher is one that efficiently reduces material size while minimizing energy consumption, operating costs, and maintenance costs, and provides a consistent output that meets your production needs.

Whether you’re crushing hard rock in a quarry or processing recycled aggregate, we design crushers to meet these precise criteria. From jaw crushers and cone crushers to impact crushers and hammer crushers, we can help you find the ideal solution for your crushing line.

The most expensive crushers are typically large, high-capacity machines used in heavy-duty mining and aggregate operations, especially those designed to handle extremely hard or abrasive materials.

At Daswell, we offer cost-effective crushing solutions that deliver industrial-grade performance and are customized to fit your budget and application.

The best type of rock crusher depends on the hardness of your material, the desired output size, and your production goals. There is no one exact answer, but here are some quick analyses to help you choose the ideal crusher for your needs:
