Types of Concrete Crushers Available
So, when you’re ready to tackle that concrete, remember you’ve got a variety of options at your fingertips. Lots of them. The most common types of concrete crushers are jaw crushers, impact crushers, and cone crushers. Every one of them shines in its own way and has areas where it could do better.
Jaw crushers are the go-to for primary crushing. These bad boys are straightforward, won’t let you down, and make breaking up big chunks of concrete look like a piece of cake. Impact crushers, on the other hand, are better suited for secondary crushing. Impactors use high-speed impact to essentially explode concrete into smaller, more uniform pieces (and likewise have more maintenance associated with them). And then we get to cone crushers, perfect for when you’re aiming for that fine touch in your aggregates and stepping into tertiary crushing territory.
It will largely depend on your application, raw material, starting size, desired final size(s), and overall budget range. Are you looking to recycle concrete on-site? Or do you need to produce a specific size of aggregate for a construction project?
Consider factors like the size and type of material you’ll be crushing, your desired output size, and your production requirements. If you need to move your crusher from site to site, a portable or mobile crusher might be the way to go.
Investing in quality crushing equipment can pay off big time in the long run. With this setup, not only will crushing concrete become a breeze, but you’ll also see your downtime and maintenance costs take a dive. And here’s the kicker – snag yourself the perfect crusher, and you’re not just crunching rocks; you’re crafting a top-notch final product tailored to your exact needs.
According to a report by Grand View Research, the global crushing and screening equipment market is expected to reach $9.3 billion by 2027. That’s a lot of concrete being crushed.
Jaw rock crushers are the workhorses of the crushing world. They’re tough, reliable, and can handle just about anything you throw at them (literally). The jaw crusher works by compressing rock between two surfaces, one fixed and one moving. As the moving jaw closes, it crushes the rock and reduces it in size.
Jaw crushers are perfect for primary crushing of hard, abrasive materials like granite, basalt, and sandstone. They can handle large feed sizes and produce a fairly uniform output. Plus, they’re relatively simple to operate and maintain.
When it comes to crushing it in the secondary and tertiary stages, cone crushers are everyone’s top pick. They work by compressing rock between a rotating cone and a fixed bowl liner. As the cone rotates, it crushes the rock and reduces it in size.
Cone crushers really shine when it comes to smashing things up efficiently and consistently delivering top-notch results; they’re also relatively compact and can be easily integrated into existing crushing circuits. Some popular models include the Powerscreen 1000 Maxtrak and the 1300 Maxtrak.
Impact crushers are real go-getters in the world of machinery, perfectly at home doing the heavy lifting as both primary and secondary crushers. Impactors work by using high-speed impact to explode rock and concrete into smaller sized pieces. Material is fed into the crusher and is struck by rapidly moving blow bars or hammers, which shatter and reduce the material in size.
Impact crushers are ideal for processing gummy material like asphalt in hotter climates, as well as softer materials like limestone and dolomite or recycled concrete. Impactors are also necessary if you need to produce a cubical final product to meet DOT specification for municipal or government projects. Some popular models include the Powerscreen XH320SR and the XH500.

Key Takeaway:
Find the perfect concrete crusher for your needs by determining your application, raw material, starting size, and desired final size(s). Whether it’s jaw crushers for primary crushing, cone crushers for fine aggregates, or impact crushers for versatile applications—investing in quality equipment boosts efficiency and product quality.
The world of concrete crushers is vast but filled with opportunities waiting just around the corner to reduce disposal costs associated with waste material and re-purchasing new aggregate material, to re-use on job sites, or offer on-site crushing services. As we’ve seen today, whether it’s jaw rock crushers or portable shredders making headlines, what truly matters is how well they align with your specific needs.
Concrete crushers for sale aren’t just transactions; they’re partnerships between technology and ambition where every crushed stone lays another block toward building tomorrow’s landscapes. So here’s my parting thought – let those old myths about heavy machinery intimidate others while you make informed decisions leading to tangible progress.
The optimal choice for crushing concrete is either a mobile jaw crusher or a mobile impact crusher. Impactors do well because of its ability to process materials of varying sizes and compositions, making it highly versatile. Mobile crushers can be easily relocated for on-site processing and reducing transportation costs associated with waste material.
The cost of an aggregate crusher varies significantly based on its size, capacity, and the specific type required for your industry’s needs. Prices can range from $15,000 for a small mobile unit to over $2 million for a large stationary model suitable for extensive mining or quarry operations. Factors such as production rate, material hardness, and the inclusion of advanced technology features also influence the final price.
A concrete crushing machine is commonly called a “concrete crusher.” These machines are either stationary, mobile track mounted, or portable on wheels; and come in 3 main types — jaw crushers, impact crushers, and cone crushers.
Determine your specific needs based on the industry—be it building, recycling, agriculture, or quarrying. Assess the material types and volume you intend to crush. Research crushers that match your requirements regarding capacity, size reduction ratio, and maintenance needs. Consider both new and used options; new for the latest technology and warranties, used for cost savings. Consult with manufacturers or dealers to understand features and support services. Evaluate the total cost of ownership including purchase price, operating costs, and potential resale value to makee an informed decision.
VYKIN engineers created micro concrete crushers, micro screeners, and micro screen plants to give small and mid-sized contractors the ability to duplicate the functions of a full-scale aggregate processing plant. In this post, we’ll look at what each of the VYKIN concrete crushing equipment does and how they work.
Micro crushers take large boulders of raw materials and break them up into smaller more manageable pieces. Two of the most common rock crushers used in aggregate processing are impact crushers and jaw crushers. VYKIN makes small-sized jaw crushers for contractors new to aggregate processing and mid-sized jaw crushers for larger job applications.
Jaw crushers, whether small or midsize, work by squeezing raw materials between two plates fixed to a V-shaped chamber. Similar to how your jaw moves when you chew food, only one of the plates moves in the crushing chamber which causes rocks to be squeezed against the other plate that remains stationary. When the rocks reach the desired size, they fall through a gap at the bottom of the crushing chamber.
Impact crushers produce aggregate very differently than jaw crushers. The raw material is loaded into the machine’s opening. From there it falls down into a chamber where a set of blow bars are rotating very quickly. The raw materials are crushed by the impact of being thrown against the wall of the machine by the blow bars. Aggregates produced by impact crushers are smaller and more consistently shaped.
Screening plants are used to separate different sizes of raw and crushed rock. They can be used in standalone applications to sort topsoil or dirt. When used in a micro aggregate plant, screeners catch the crushed rock produced by crushing equipment.
The Senya SP1 Screen Plant has three main parts, an engine that creates vibrations, screens that sift rock particles, and a catching area.When the rocks come out of the crusher it falls onto a vibrating screen that sifts the smaller pieces. The remaining pieces travel along the screener until it reaches the catching area.
Micro conveyors are set up at the end of a crusher to save time by loading aggregate materials directly into the bucket of a skid steer or the back of a dump truck. Our micro conveyors are made with angled indlers and a cleated belt which allows them to move the same amount of product in half the length of traditional conveyors. We have 23’ conveyors and 28’ conveyors.
Small and medium-sized contractors can replicate the functions of a full-sized aggregate processing plant with VYKIN micro crushers, micro screeners, and micro conveyors. Each piece of equipment is made to help you have a safe, cost-effective, and productive experience producing aggregate materials.
