Key Factors Affecting Initial Crusher Unit Costs
When planning a new mining or quarrying operation, understanding the initial crushing and sorting unit cost is crucial for budgeting and ROI calculations. At Liming Heavy Industry, we’ve helped thousands of customers worldwide optimize their crushing plant investments through our high-performance equipment like the C6X Series Jaw Crusher and CI5X Series Impact Crusher.
The primary cost components for initial crushing and sorting units include:
- Equipment purchase price (crushers, screens, conveyors)
- Installation and commissioning
- Foundation and civil works
- Electrical infrastructure
- Dust suppression systems
- Sorting and material handling systems
Choosing the Right Equipment to Optimize Costs
Selecting appropriate crushing equipment can significantly impact your initial investment and long-term operating costs. Liming Heavy Industry offers multiple series of crushers designed for different raw materials and production needs:

When paired with our S5X Series Vibrating Screen, these units form complete crushing and sorting systems with optimized initial and operating costs.
Ways to Reduce Initial Crushing and Sorting Unit Costs
Based on our experience with numerous mining and quarry operations, we recommend these cost-saving strategies:
1. Right-Sizing Your Equipment
Choosing equipment that matches your exact production requirements prevents overspending on excessive capacity. Our engineers can help you select between our compact K Series Mobile Crushing Plant or stationary crushing solutions based on your throughput needs.
2. Consider Mobile Solutions
For some operations, our NK Series Mobile Crushing Station can significantly reduce civil works and installation costs while providing flexibility.
3. Modular Design Approach
Our crushing and sorting systems feature modular designs that allow future expansion without complete system replacement.
4. Energy-Efficient Equipment
Liming’s solutions like the HST Single Cylinder Hydraulic Cone Crusher incorporate energy-saving technologies that reduce long-term electricity costs.
Case Study: Liming Equipment in Action for Cost-Efficient Crushing
A large granite quarry in Southeast Asia reduced their initial crushing and sorting unit cost by 18% by choosing our complete crushing solution consisting of:
- Primary: C6X145 Jaw Crusher
- Secondary: CI5X1520 Impact Crusher
- Tertiary: VSI6X1263 Sand Making Machine
- Sorting: S5X3075-3T Vibrating Screen
The optimized system layout by our engineers minimized material handling costs while delivering the required 650 tph capacity.
